So you’re dealing with hyperpigmentation only on one side of your face, huh? Sounds annoying. You’ve tried natural remedies like multani mitti and mulethi, and it seems like they’ve helped a bit, but not a full solution.
In Ayurveda, pigmentation issues like this often tie back to imbalance in the doshas—mainly Pitta dosha. You know, Pitta being related to heat and fire, so it makes sense when you say it darkens with sun exposure. Consider trying a few things that could help balance that.
First, let’s tackle diet. Avoid spicy, sour, and fermented foods as they increase Pitta. Focus on cooling foods like cucumber, watermelon, and buttermilk. Drink plenty of water! And try including organic aloe vera juice and amla juice; they’re cooling and help in detoxifying the skin.
Next,!! skincare. You could use a natural Turmeric and Sandalwood paste. Mix equal parts with rose water and apply it to the affected area for around 20 minutes before washing it off with cool water. Do this daily if you can. It’s known to calm and lighten hyperpigmentation.
For your lifestyle, avoid peak sun exposure as much as possible. I know it sounds basic, but it’s crucial. Wear a wide-brimmed hat or use a natural sunscreen with zinc oxide when outside.
Stress can mess with your doshas, so make sure you are practicing some relaxation — like yoga or meditation. Even at home, just a few deep breaths in the morning can help.
Above all, maintaining a good digestion is key in Ayurveda. Ensure your agni is balanced. Include ginger and cumin in your meals to improve digestion. You might consider a mild triphala churna at night to detoxify gently and maintain regular bowel movements.
It might take some time, but, staying consistent with these practices enhances their effectiveness. Remember, it’s not about quick fixes — it’s an ongoing journey to balance and harmony. If things worsen, visiting an Ayurvedic practitioner in person can be beneficial.
