Since your pigmentation is long-standing, partially genetic, and linked to hormonal changes from fertility treatments, the key is consistent, gentle skin lightening and support from within—especially focusing on liver health, hormonal balance, and melanin regulation.
Start taking-
Sarivadyasava or Mahamanjishtadi Kwath(15ml in warm water ywice a day after meal)
Chandraprabha Vati or Kumari Asava
Triphala at bedtime (1 tsp powder in warm water)
Amla juice or tablets(15mi morning and evening)
Ayurvedic face oils like Kumkumadi Tailam (at night, 2–3 times a week)
Chemical-free skincare: Avoid parabens, fragrance, and lightening agents like hydroquinone long-term.
Diet-
Mainly Avoid spicy, sour,stale food

Dealing with melasma or hyperpigmentation, I get it, can be quite frustrating. Especially when you've been trying conventional treatments without much success. With Ayurveda’s holistic touch, we can look at not just the skin surface but what’s going on internally.
Firstly, melasma is often due to a Pitta and Vata imbalance. Stress, hormones, and digestion can fire up this imbalance, leading to skin issues. But hey, no worries, you can manage this.
1. Dietary tweaks: Start including cooling foods. Amalaki (Indian gooseberry), cucumber, and coriander can help balance Pitta. Go easy on spicy, oily, or fermented foods that might inflame your Pitta dosha further. And while caffeine is tempting, reducing it might help.
2. Skincare rituals — a simple paste of sandalwood and rose water applied on affected areas can soothe the heat and help lighten spots over time. Lodhra (Symplocos) and turmeric are also brilliant cleansing herbs you might want to try. Just mix a bit of the powder with water or milk into a thin paste, apply gently, maybe just twice a week.
3. Digestion matters as much as (if not more than) lotions and potions. After meals, try sipping on warm water mixed with 1 teaspoon of coriander seeds. This helps ignite Agni (digestive fire) without aggravating your skin.
4. Take some time to practice mind-calming techniques like breathing exercises or yoga. Even a few minutes of Pranayama can help manage stress, crucial in keeping Vata in check.
5. Sleep is your magic pill. Regular hours of rest heal more than we realize. If stressful thoughts keep you awake, trickle some Brahmi or Ashwagandha into your bedtime routine. Scattered thoughts lead to dosha imbalance mess.
Each person reacts differently, so, keep track and adjust as needed. Finally, keep Ur dermatologist in the loop– it’s great to blend the best of both worlds. But if ur seeing new symptoms or anything weird, get it checked out! 🌿
