Alright, let’s dive into this hairy situation. You’ve been through the ringer with threading, waxing and lasers, all of which offer temporary respite at best, and for sensitive skin that can be a challenge. Ayurveda seeks to address both external symptoms and the internal causes, so with patience, you might find this approach more effective, though I won’t promise instant miracles.
So turmeric and chickpea flour, yes, they’re popular in Ayurveda, but they might not work solo for long-term results. Instead, consider a holistic treatment that goes deeper. First of all, understanding your dosha type (Vata, Pitta, or Kapha) would help pinpoint imbalances contributing to excess hair growth. A Vata or Pitta imbalance is usually at play in cases of excessive facial hair.
Externally, make a mix of turmeric and chickpea flour with a little milk, and apply it on your face in a thin layer. Leave until it dries and wash off with water, gently. Do this a few times a week—patience is crucial here.
But it’s not all about the surface… internally, you might want to consider dietary inclusions or exclusions. Consume less sugar and processed foods, aiming for a diet that pacifies your dominant dosha. This could be anything from more cooling foods for Pitta types to grounding foods for Vata.
Additionally, certain herbs like spearmint tea are known to balance hormones, which could tie into your issue. Drinking it regularly might help. There’s also Vajikarana, an Ayurvedic practice focusing on hormonal balance that can indirectly aid in hair management. Sometimes, Ashwagandha or Shatavari might be suggested—consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner for doses specific to you.
For oils, Sahacharadi Tailam could be beneficial for controlling excess hair growth—apply it topically. Again, slower than laser but doesn’t harm sensitive skin if used correctly.
The time to see results honestly depends on your body’s receptiveness; might be a few months. Persist but watch for irritation—our goal isn’t to trade one problem for another. And side effects? Generally fewer with Ayurvedic remedies if you’re mindful of allergies, but everyone can react different.
If making your own remedies at home seems daunting, you could explore existing Ayurvedic brands selling natural products free from harsh chemicals. Keep a close eye on the ingredients.
So there it is, a blend of external and internal cues that might help. I’d be glad to hear if any of this lines up with what you’re willing to try!
