Can Xanthelasma Be Treated with Ayurvedic Remedies? - #2239
For the past few months, I’ve developed small, yellowish patches on my eyelids, which I recently found out are called xanthelasma. My doctor said they’re related to cholesterol deposits, but my cholesterol levels are only slightly above normal, and I’d prefer to avoid medical procedures like surgery. I’ve been exploring Ayurvedic treatments for this. I’ve read about using herbs like Guggulu for cholesterol and Triphala for detoxification, but I don’t know if they specifically work for xanthelasma. I also saw mentions of local applications of medicated oils or herbal pastes, but I’m not sure which ones are safe for the sensitive skin around the eyes. Are there Ayurvedic approaches that actually dissolve these deposits or prevent them from growing? Do I need to change my diet, or are there specific foods to avoid or include? I’d appreciate clear guidance on how to treat xanthelasma naturally without causing harm to my skin.
