Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Acne is one of the most common skin problems in teenagers and adolescents. There are many lesser known homoeopathic medicines which have been mentioned in the literature for treatment of acne but their potential has not been properly assessed /documented and therefore these medicines don't form a part of many prescriptions. As a part of this study, efficacy of Zingiber officinalis will be studied in the treatment of Acne vulgaris
