Skin pigmentation can happen due to many causes such as prolonged exposure to sun, harmonal changes, inflammation or even genetics. Looking into the cause might help your issues. Apart from it, avoid spicy, sour, salty & fried foods. Some medication suggestions - Manjishtadi kashaya (10ml-0-10ml) After food. Sarivadyasa (10ml-0-10ml) After food. Pigmento Tab (1-0-1) After food. Unishade cream - Apply as normal face cream after bath and also before bed after washing face. Try face pack with combination of Manjishta + Yashtimadhu + Raktachandana - Combine with milk and apply on face. Wait until it dries and wash. Increase intake of pomegranate, tender coconut water & any other cooling substance.

I graduated in 2022 from Kerala University of Health Sciences, where I developed a strong foundation in classical Ayurvedic principles and clinical practice. In addition to my Ayurvedic education, I hold a diploma in Yoga Instructor Training from S-VYASA University, which has allowed me to incorporate yogic techniques into my therapeutic approach, especially in managing lifestyle disorders and stress-related conditions. Since December 2022, I’ve been practicing at a multispecialty NABH-accredited hospital in Kerala, where I’ve been exposed to a broad spectrum of clinical conditions and multidisciplinary coordination. This experience has enhanced my ability to diagnose and treat patients holistically, while adhering to modern healthcare standards and safety protocols. Currently, I am associated with the Medibuddy platform, where I support the TATA Health Insurance Medical Examination Report team. This role allows me to contribute to preventive health screening and ensure comprehensive documentation and evaluation of medical histories for insured individuals. It has deepened my understanding of corporate and digital health systems. Alongside my institutional responsibilities, I actively run my own Ayurvedic consultation clinics during evening hours, where I provide personalized care rooted in traditional diagnostics such as Nadi Pariksha, Prakriti analysis, and individualized treatment protocols. My clinical interests span across digestive disorders, stress and anxiety, musculoskeletal complaints, and preventive healthcare. Through a blend of classical Ayurvedic wisdom, yoga therapy, and modern health insight, I strive to offer my patients a path toward sustainable wellness and preventive health, while remaining accessible, empathetic, and thorough in every consultation.

Skin pigmentation issues can indeed be distressing and they often require a holistic approach to manage completely. Based on Ayurvedic principles, pigmentation concerns are often related to an imbalance in the body's doshas, particularly Pitta dosha, which is known to govern the skin's health and complexion. It's essential to address the root cause through a combination of dietary changes, Ayurvedic herbs, and lifestyle adjustments. Starting with your diet, emphasize cooling and hydrating foods to help balance the Pitta dosha. Incorporate plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables such as cucumber, melon, and bitter greens like kale in your meals. Avoid spicy, oily, and overly salty foods, which can further aggravate Pitta. Cooling herbs such as coriander, fennel, and turmeric can be beneficial; try including them in your cooking or consume turmeric mixed with warm milk at bedtime. For topical treatment, consider using natural remedies like sandalwood paste or aloe vera gel to soothe the skin and reduce pigmentation over time. Applying a paste made from sandalwood and rosewater can help cool down the skin and lighten pigmentation. Ensure to do a patch test before applying anything new to avoid adverse reactions. It's also important to stay hydrated and protect your skin from excessive sun exposure, as both dehydration and sunlight can exacerbate pigmentation issues. Use a natural, non-comedogenic sunscreen if you'll be exposed to the sun. Internally, Ayurvedic herbs like manjistha and neem are known for their skin-clearing properties. You might look into taking them under guidance from an Ayurvedic practitioner. Manjistha is particularly beneficial as it purifies the blood and detoxifies the body, tackling the pigmentation at its root. Beyond dietary and topical advice, regular yoga and meditation can help manage stress, a known factor that can worsen skin conditions. Practices like alternate nostril breathing (Nadi Shodhana) and Surya Namaskar, which are gentle yet effective, can create balance and calm overactive doshas. Ayurveda also recognizes the importance of sound sleep, or nidra, as inadequate rest can hinder skin repair and exacerbate pigmentation. Strive for a regular sleep schedule of 7-8 hours per night. It is essential to consult an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner to evaluate your specific Prakriti (body constitution) and to offer personalized advice, especially if your pigmentation persists despite self-care measures. They can provide more targeted treatments and tailor solutions specific to your condition and lifestyle. If there are any signs of bleeding, rapid changes in the pigmentation, or other concerning symptoms, seek immediate medical attention, as these might call for urgent care beyond Ayurveda.
