Hair growth on your face, particularly when associated with PCOD, can indeed be persistent and frustrating. While electrolysis can be a more permanent solution compared to laser, it’s good to explore harmonious approaches aligning with your body’s natural balance, especially through the lens of Siddha-Ayurveda. Your symptoms indicate an imbalance, likely involving excess pitta and kapha in your system, which need addressing.
Firstly, managing PCOD holistically can decrease unwanted hair growth. Consider reducing refined sugar, dairy and processed foods, as these can exacerbate kapha and pitta imbalances — particularly detrimental in cases of PCOD. Also, include regular physical activity; a daily routine could support balancing hormone levels.
For an Ayurvedic method, you can apply a paste of turmeric and chickpea flour. Mix a teaspoon of turmeric powder with a tablespoon of chickpea flour, make it into a paste and apply on affected areas. Let it dry and gently rub it off with your fingers moving in a circular motion – this promotes circulation and helps in reducing facial hair when done regularly.
Additionally, consuming a diet rich in phytoestrogens—like those found in flaxseeds and nuts—might help in reducing symptoms over time. Remember to keep your digestive fire, or agni, strong by eating warm, freshly cooked meals and avoiding iced and heavy foods.
For products, a triphala powder concoction taken internally can help balance your doshas and improve digestion, which is crucial. Mix a teaspoon with warm water before bed each night. However, consult with an ayurvedic practitioner, especially considering your unique constitution and the presence of PCOD.
Before deciding on electrolysis, reflect on both its benefits and potential side effects. It may be a solution, but it’s important to ensure that it aligns with your overall health strategy and financial convenience. Balancing your doshas and addressing underlying hormonal issues root in PCOD could be more sustainable and comprehensive for the long term.
