how to remove body hair naturally - #36580
I am really struggling with this whole body hair situation and need some advice on how to remove body hair naturally. It’s been bothering me for ages, especially with summer coming up. A few months ago, I tried shaving, but ended up with razor burns and that was super uncomfortable! Plus, it feels like I’m just battling it daily because it grows back so fast. So, I started looking into natural methods and saw stuff about sugar wax but honestly, I have no clue how to make it work. I even read about using turmeric, but I’m not sure if it really helps or if it just stains the skin. Last week I tried a homemade scrub with coconut oil and sugar, but all it did was make my skin feel greasy and the hair, well, it’s still there! Is there any recommended way or tips for how to remove body hair naturally without all this hassle? Would love to know if anyone’s had success with specific methods or DIY recipes that are actually effective! I feel a bit lost and kinda worried about trying out more things. Thanks in advance for your help!!

Natural removal of body hair can certainly feel daunting, especially when you’re trying multiple methods with little success. Within Ayurveda, there are several approaches you can explore that may offer a more gentle and effective way to manage body hair growth.
One method you may want to consider is the use of an ‘ubtan’, a traditional Ayurvedic paste. Ubtans combines natural ingredients to help tone skin and minimize hair growth. A simple recipe is to mix 2 tablespoons chickpea flour (besan) with 1 tablespoon turmeric powder and enough water or milk to make a thick paste. Applying this mixture to unwanted hair in the opposite direction of growth helps weaken the hair follicles over time. Massage gently, allow to dry, then remove by rubbing in circular motions. Repeat this process 2-3 times a week for best results. Be mindful of turmeric staining - test a small patch of skin first.
Turmeric indeed has hair-inhibiting properties, alongside its known skin benefits. However, it can leave a yellow tint, which you’d likely want to avoid, especially before heading out. Opt for Kasturi turmeric, it’s less staining and often preferred for topical skin use.
Additionally, you might experiment with sugar wax, which is a more natural alternative to regular waxing. Heat a mix of 2 cups of sugar, 1/4 cup lemon juice and 1/4 cup water until it turns a golden brown. Let it cool slightly, then apply to the skin, pulling against hair growth. The consistency should be pliable – too hard suggests it’s overcooked.
For long-term hair reduction, consider applying a paste of thanaka powder (a bark powder) mixed with safflower oil after hair removal. This combination is rooted in traditional practices, thought to inhibit hair growth with consistent use.
Managing body hair naturally takes time and patience. Be mindful of skin irritation and test each method on a small area of skin before full application. If discomfort persists or these methods doesn’t align with your resources or expectations, consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner could provide personalized insights into your prakriti – constitution type – and the most suitable approach for your body.
