Xanthelasma – Can Ayurveda Help Reduce Cholesterol Deposits Around My Eyes Naturally? - #15969

A few months ago, I noticed small yellowish patches around my eyes. At first, I thought they were just minor skin issues, but as time passed, they grew larger and more noticeable. When I went to the doctor, they diagnosed it as xanthelasma—cholesterol deposits under the skin. The doctor told me that xanthelasma isn’t dangerous but is often a sign of high cholesterol. I never thought I had cholesterol problems, but after a blood test, I found out my LDL (bad cholesterol) was high. The doctor suggested dietary changes and laser treatment to remove the patches, but I don’t want to go through a procedure without fixing the root cause. I started researching Ayurveda and found that certain herbs and dietary changes can help break down xanthelasma naturally. But does it actually work? Are there Ayurvedic treatments that can help dissolve the deposits? I’ve read that turmeric, garlic, and guggul are good for lowering cholesterol, but I don’t know the best way to use them. Should I apply a paste to the affected areas, or is it more effective to take these herbs internally? Also, will dietary changes alone be enough to prevent xanthelasma from coming back? Another concern I have is whether my diet is making my xanthelasma worse. Should I avoid all fatty foods, or are there healthy fats that won’t contribute to cholesterol buildup? I’ve also read about herbal oils like triphala-infused oil that may help—has anyone tried this? If you’ve successfully treated xanthelasma with Ayurveda, I’d love to hear what worked for you. Did it take months to see results, or were there faster remedies? I really want to take a natural approach before considering medical procedures.
