HARAD WITH MILK -Milk In Ayurveda is sweet, nourishing and balances vata and pitta -combining harad with milk can enhance its rejuvenating properties but may reduce its astringent actions slightly -Milk + harád is not classically described as a “skin whitening” formula in ancient text. Rather it’s used as a rasayana for health, glowing skin

It does not do skin whitening, but you can start with this-

Diet: Eat cooling foods like pomegranate, cucumber, basmati rice, ghee, and mint. Drink 8-10 glasses of cucumber/rose water daily. Avoid spicy, sour, fried foods, caffeine, alcohol, and limit salt. Sample meals: oatmeal with almond milk, mung dal with steamed veggies, coconut water, barley soup. Follow for 4-6 weeks. • Lifestyle: Avoid sun (10 AM-4 PM); use a hat or natural sunscreen (aloe vera + zinc oxide, reapply every 2 hours). Bathe in lukewarm water, sleep by 10 PM (7-8 hours). Practice 10-15 min sheetali pranayama or meditation daily. • Cleanser: Replace face wash with chickpea flour + rose water paste; massage gently for 1 min, rinse with cool water (2-3 times/week). • Face Pack: Mix 1 tsp sandalwood powder, 1 tsp licorice powder, 2 tsp aloe vera gel, rose water. Apply for 15-20 min, rinse (3-4 times/week). • Body Scrub: Oatmeal + honey + milk paste, scrub sun-exposed areas (2 times/week). Dab potato juice or cucumber on melasma spots daily (10 min). • Moisturizer: Few drops coconut oil or kumkumadi tailam at night (avoid if oily skin). • Herbs: Drink coriander-fennel-cumin tea (1 tsp each boiled in 2 cups water, twice daily). Take manjistha (500mg twice daily), neem/guduchi (250-500mg once daily), triphala (1 tsp at night) for 1-2 months. Consult for sourcing/dosage. • Timeline: Reduced sensitivity in 1-2 weeks, fading pigmentation in 1 month, even tone in 2+ months.
