Reducing melanin naturally using Ayurveda is more about balancing the body's internal systems than just taking a pill. Ayurveda looks at skin color as part of your Prakriti, or natural constitution, which is influenced by the balance of the three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. For reducing melanin production, a focus on Pitta dosha balancing is quite beneficial.

First, diet is essential. Incorporating spicy or hot foods tends to increase Pitta, hence should be avoided. You might prefer cooling foods like cucumber, watermelon, or coconut. Also drinking a cup of neem leaf juice daily, in the morning on an empty stomach, has been traditonally used for skin nourishment.

Keeping your body hydrated is fundamental. Drinking water kept in copper vessels overnight can help in purifying blood & improving skin tone.

For herbal supplements, you could consider certain ayurvedic herbs like Manjistha. You could ingest Manjistha in powdered form with warm water or even seek out capsules from a reliable source. It is known for its antioxidant properties and helps in cleansing the blood, which could indirectly affect melanin production by improving your overall skin health.

Try incorporating turmeric into your diet, as its anti-inflammatory properties cannot be overstated. Having a glass of warm milk with a pinch of turmeric before bedtime can provide lots of benefits.

While you're focusing on your skin internally, also think about your lifestyle. Exposure to the sun can increase melanin production, so wear a hat or stay in shade when possible.

Lastly, Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of good digestion. Consider practicing yoga regularly; poses like Surya Namaskar and forward bends can balance Pitta dosha, aiding digestion and thus improving skin condition.

Keep in mind, these suggestions are not overnight solutions. Consistency, patience and adopting these practices into your lifestyle will allow for natural changes. If you have a specific condition, consulting with a local Ayurvedic practitioner can provide tailored advice that aligns best with your Prakriti.
