How to Remove Stretch Marks Permanently and Can Ayurveda Offer Natural Solutions for Skin Care? - #16186

I’ve been struggling with stretch marks for a while now, particularly on my thighs and abdomen, and I’ve been looking for ways to reduce their appearance or even remove them permanently. I want to understand more about what causes stretch marks and whether Ayurveda offers any natural solutions for treating them effectively. From what I understand, stretch marks are caused by the rapid stretching of the skin, often due to pregnancy, weight gain, or hormonal changes. The skin loses its elasticity and collagen, leading to the formation of scars. But what I do not fully understand is whether there are factors, like diet or skin care routines, that can help prevent or minimize stretch marks from appearing in the first place. I’ve read that Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of maintaining healthy, nourished skin (Twak) and recommends natural oils and treatments for improving skin elasticity. Are there Ayurvedic remedies, such as sesame oil, coconut oil, or turmeric, that can help in reducing the appearance of stretch marks and improving skin texture? Does Ayurveda recommend any specific herbs, such as Gotu Kola or Manjistha, for skin regeneration and collagen production? Another thing I am wondering about is whether Ayurveda suggests any internal treatments, such as specific foods or supplements, to support skin health from the inside out. Should I be consuming more collagen-boosting foods, such as bone broth or vitamin C-rich foods, to support skin elasticity? If anyone has successfully reduced the appearance of stretch marks using Ayurvedic methods, I would love to hear about your experiences. I’m looking for natural, sustainable ways to improve my skin and reduce stretch marks.
