What Are Milia on the Face and How Can Ayurveda Help in Treating Them? - #14969

Anonymous

I’ve recently noticed small, white bumps on my face, particularly around my eyes and cheeks, which my doctor confirmed are milia. I didn’t think much of them at first, but after doing some research, I learned that milia are tiny cysts that form when keratin gets trapped beneath the skin. These bumps are not painful, but they are quite noticeable, and I’ve tried different skin creams to treat them, but they don’t seem to help. I’m concerned about using too many over-the-counter products with chemicals and I’m looking for natural solutions. Can Ayurveda help with milia on the face? Are there any specific Ayurvedic herbs or oils that can clear up these cysts and promote healthy skin? I’ve heard that herbs like Turmeric and Aloe Vera are good for skin health—could they be effective in treating milia as well? I’m also curious about any Ayurvedic practices like face massages or detoxifying routines that can help clear up milia and improve skin texture. Should I change my diet to support my skin’s health during this process? Has anyone here dealt with milia and used Ayurvedic treatments to get rid of them? What natural remedies worked for you, and how long did it take to see results?

Milia, according to Ayurveda, are linked to excess Kapha and Pitta, leading to clogged pores and trapped keratin under the skin. To naturally clear them, Turmeric (anti-inflammatory) and Neem (antibacterial) can help—applying a paste of turmeric and honey or neem powder with rose water can reduce milia over time. Aloe Vera gel soothes and promotes skin renewal. Gentle exfoliation with Ubtan (a mix of chickpea flour, turmeric, and milk) or masoor dal (red lentil) scrub helps unclog pores. Face steaming with neem or tulsi-infused water softens cysts and supports detoxification. Regular face massage with Kumkumadi oil or Jojoba oil improves circulation and promotes healthy skin. Internally, a Pitta-Kapha balancing diet is key—avoid dairy, fried foods, and excessive sugar, while including bitter greens, amla, and warm water with lemon to purify the skin. Herbal blood cleansers like Manjistha and Triphala support skin detoxification. Consistency with natural treatments can show visible improvements within a few weeks.
