​Facial hair removal is a common concern, and while Ayurveda offers various remedies, it’s important to approach them with an understanding of their traditional context and limitations. Many Ayurvedic treatments focus on natural ingredients and holistic well-being, aiming to reduce hair growth over time rather than providing an instant, permanent solution.
​Here are some traditional Ayurvedic approaches and remedies for reducing facial hair on the neck and side cheeks: ​1. Ubtan (Herbal Paste): Ubtan is a traditional Ayurvedic paste used for cleansing, exfoliating, and nourishing the skin. Certain ingredients in ubtans are believed to help weaken hair follicles and reduce hair growth.
​Ingredients: ​Besan (Gram Flour): A primary ingredient in most ubtans, besan is known for its exfoliating properties.
Turmeric (Haldi): Wild turmeric (Kasturi Manjal) is often preferred as it is less likely to stain the skin. Turmeric has anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties and is believed to inhibit hair growth.
​Sandalwood Powder (Chandan): Soothes the skin and has a pleasant fragrance.
​Mustard Oil or Sesame Oil: To bind the ingredients and moisturize the skin. ​Rose Water or Milk: To make a smooth paste. ​Preparation and Application: ​Mix equal parts of besan, sandalwood powder, and a pinch of wild turmeric. ​Add enough rose water or milk to form a thick paste. ​Apply the paste to the affected areas (neck and side cheeks). ​Let it dry completely. ​Once dry, gently rub the paste off in a circular motion against the direction of hair growth.
​Rinse with lukewarm water. ​For best results, this can be done 2-3 times a week.

​2. Combination of Gram Flour and Curd: This is a simpler version of ubtan that is also very effective. ​Ingredients: ​Gram Flour ​Curd (Yogurt) ​A pinch of turmeric ​Preparation and Application: ​Mix the ingredients to form a smooth paste. ​Apply the paste to your neck and side cheeks. ​Let it dry and then rub it off gently while washing with water.

​3. Papaya and Turmeric Paste: Papain, an enzyme found in papaya, is believed to help break down hair follicles and prevent regrowth.
​Ingredients: ​Raw Papaya (peeled and mashed)
​A pinch of turmeric ​Preparation and Application: ​Mix the mashed papaya with turmeric to form a paste.
​Massage the paste onto the desired areas for a few minutes. ​Leave it on for 15-20 minutes. ​Rinse with water. ​Repeat 2-3 times a week.

​4. Barley Flour, Milk, and Lime Juice: ​Ingredients: ​Barley Flour ​Milk ​Lime Juice ​Preparation and Application: ​Mix the ingredients to create a paste. ​Apply the paste to the facial hair. ​Let it dry completely before rubbing it off with a gentle scrubbing motion.
​Important Considerations and Ayurvedic Principles:

​Consistency is Key: Ayurvedic remedies are not one-time fixes. They require consistent and long-term application to show noticeable results.

​Prakriti (Body Constitution): According to Ayurveda, a person’s body type (Prakriti) can influence hair growth.

​Hormonal Balance: Ayurveda often links excessive facial hair (hirsutism) to hormonal imbalances. It recommends a balanced diet, stress management through yoga and meditation, and adequate sleep to support the body’s natural functions.

​Diet: A diet rich in fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and low in processed foods and sugar, is recommended to maintain overall health and hormonal balance. ​

Hello Neepa,

Mash ripe papaya and mix it with a pinch of turmeric powder to create a paste. Apply the mask to your face and leave it on for 15-20 minutes before rinsing it off. **you can also add besan in this mixture. **Daily Massage with few drops of LOMSHATANAADI OIL. It will take some time but you’ll definitely get rid from your unwanted hair…

TAKE CARE😊

Kramayukt aur madhyam-kalpana awastha mein, aapke varmaniyon aur vichar se juda huaya hai, joh aapka prakritik sanvedan hai. Samanya roop se, asamanya rajodarsh normal hone par bhi, yadi kesh ki growth zyada ho jaye - yeh PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) ka lakshan ho sakta hai, jo ayurveda mein ‘Soth’ ya ‘Amasya sthit’ ke roop mein dekha jata hai. Aakasmik chulenewale avastha ke madhati se, kya hone ko jinsi etomiyo avastha ka sanket deta hai.

Sabse pehle, ahar aur vihar par dhyan dena jaroori hai. Dincharya mein kuch vyayam samil kare jaise yog aur pranayama, kyunki yeh sugandhar bala samasyaon ko santulit karne mein sahayak hote hain. Kapha aur Pitta dosh se bojhit ahar tyag karein.

Vyakti ko dheere dheere sanshodhit karna, mandagni sudharak, aur udaramasaht santulan to saath kata ho raha hai. Vamaan aur virechan ke saath, kuch vishesh aushadhi lay ja sakti hain. Aap chandana (Sandalwood) paste laga sakti hain, yeh prasan chatanya ko darshata hai.

Iske alawa, apne ahar mein methi daanen aur haldi ko jodh karein, ye dono hi hormonal imbalance ko sudharne me madadgar hain. Doshon ke anupat ko samajh kar, churna ya bhasma prachalit kiya ja sakta hai - jiski salah aapke ayurvedic chikitsak kar sakte hain.

Yadi moustuku aur vyaapti wadi in nature hota hai, toh vilambh kare bina ayurvedic visheshagnya se apni avastha ka samjhan lein. Samay par chikitsa karna ahtiavashyak hai. Lekin agar pathayil isnpam aapko seedhe unat chitote dilo se parishani samptar ho, toh aapko sabdan rahkhta par hella dena chahiye.

Facial hair growth, especially around the neck and side cheeks, can be influenced by hormonal imbalances often linked to irregular menstrual cycles. It’s good that your periods have become regular, but addressing the root cause of excess facial hair is equally essential. In Siddha-Ayurvedic terms, this condition may be associated with aggravated Pitta and Kapha doshas.

To manage this naturally, start with balancing diet and lifestyle. Incorporate more Pitta-pacifying foods, such as sweet, bitter, and astringent tastes. Include plenty of greens, cucumber, and fruits like pomegranate while reducing spicy, fried, and overly sour foods. Make sure you stay hydrated and use aloe vera juice or amla (Indian gooseberry) as they help balance hormones naturally.

Additionally, herbs like Shatavari can be beneficial. Consult a practitioner to determine the right dosage, as it helps balance female hormones. Ashoka or Lodhra can also support the reproductive system and help regulate hormones further, aiding the reduction of facial hair over time.

A paste made from turmeric and chickpea flour can also help with local application for hair reduction. Mix equal parts with some yogurt and apply on the affected areas. Let it dry, and scrub gently before washing off. Do this 2-3 times a week. Be consistent for noticeable results over time.

Lastly, keep monitoring your cycles and consult with a healthcare provider if hair growth persists or worsens, as it may signify other underlying health conditions. Balancing your doshas with these practices may take time but can lead to more harmonious health overall.
