Hello Ashritha Dark circles has many reasons Check your Heamoglobin level if less will need to continue medication for improving Heamoglobin level If stress,you will have to reduce stress levels Reduce screen time. Meanwhile you can take Mahamanjistadi kadha 15 ml twice daily after food, It is a blood purifier Apply aloevera gel arround your eyes Keep cucumber rinds on closed eyes for 5 minutes. Soak cotton balls in Rose water and keep on closed eyes for 5 minutes Mix almond oil + vitamin-E oil and apply arround eyes keep overnight.
Dark circles can often be traced back to factors such as lack of sleep, stress, or excessive screen time, among others. To address them through Ayurveda, firstly, consider balancing your doshas, as this foundational step aids overall well-being. If you are experiencing Vata imbalance, which is often linked with insomnia, this might be affecting your sleep and skin.
To start with, try customizing your diet. Focus on incorporating more whole foods that pacify Vata and provide essential nutrients. Include warm, cooked meals in your daily routine like moong dal, sweet potatoes, and ghee to promote grounding and nourishment. Hydrate sufficiently throughout the day but avoid drinking water right before sleep.
Develop a consistent sleep routine by going to bed and waking up at the same time every day even on weekends. Ensure your sleeping environment is calm, dark, and without electronic disturbances. Avoid any screen-time at least one hour before bed to minimize blue light effect on sleep cycles.
For topical treatments, fine application of a mixture of almond oil and coconut oil massaged gently around the eyes may help to lighten dark circles over time. Do this at night and wash off in the morning to improve skin health naturally.
Consider adopting a brief evening routine of meditation or yoga nidra to help relax your nervous system and prepare your body for rest. Breathe deeply during the day, focusing on long exhales to promote calm.
If stress is a contributing factor, engage regularly in practices that promote relaxation, such as abhyanga (self-massage) with warm sesame oil, which can be pacifying for Vata dosha and support better sleep.
In case these changes don’t bring satisfactory improvement or the dark circles are persistently worsening, it would be advisable to consult with an Ayurveda practitioner for further tailored advice. Remember healing takes time and consistent efforts for genuine results.
