what is melasma in hindi - #24173

Jayden

I am trying to understand this condition called melasma, and I’ve been hearing about it a lot lately. I’m a 32-year-old woman, and after both my pregnancies, I've noticed these dark patches on my face, mostly on my cheeks and forehead. At first, I thought it was just a temporary thing that would fade away, but it’s really persistent. I asked my friend about it, and she mentioned something called "what is melasma in hindi," which got me curious. I tried a few over-the-counter creams, but they don’t seem to help at all. Are there Ayurvedic remedies or natural ways to treat melasma? Like, do herbs or oils work? I keep worrying it might get worse and nobody tells you how long it lasts or if it's even curable. Is it connected to hormones or sun exposure? I feel like I need some solid advice. What should I do?

Melasma, known in Hindi as "चयन" (chayan) or "माषक" (mashak), is a condition where dark, discolored patches appear on the skin, typically the face. It's especially common in women, particularly those who have experienced pregnancy due to fluctuating hormones. Indeed, it is linked to hormonal changes as well as sun exposure. In Ayurveda, melasma can be considered a condition involving an imbalance of Pitta dosha, which governs heat and transformation in the body. Excess Pitta can manifest as pigmentation on the skin. Other factors like prolonged exposure to the sun can lead to higher Pitta levels, further aggravating the condition. Addressing the root cause of melasma from an Ayurvedic perspective involves balancing Pitta and enhancing the skin's health. To manage melasma the Ayurvedic way, you might want to start with certain lifestyle modifications. First, try to avoid excessive sun exposure. Use a broad-spectrum natural sunscreen containing zinc oxide when you step out, and wear a hat or scarf to protect your face. Internally, consuming a Pitta-pacifying diet may help. This includes favoring foods such as cooling fruits (like melons, pears, and grapes), vegetables like cucumber and leafy greens, whole grains like rice and oats. Avoid spicy foods, alcohol, and caffeine. Herbs can be beneficial too. Drinking a cup of aloe vera juice regularly, known for its cooling and healing properties, is advisable. Applying a paste of sandalwood and rose water on the affected areas might soothe the skin and reduce pigmentation. Turmeric, an anti-inflammatory and depigmenting agent, can also be used. A mask made of honey and turmeric applied for 15-20 mins can help. Internally, consuming Ayurveda herbal blends like Triphala can support detoxification and Revive skin's health. Another herbal remedy is Manjistha, which helps purify the blood and empower skin. Take it as a supplement or boiled in water like a tea. In some cases, Panchakarma, a detoxifying and rejuvenating therapy available through Ayurveda practitioners, might offer profound benefits. Consider consulting an Ayurvedic expert for personalized guidance based on your unique dosha and Prakriti. Though melasma can be stubborn, these natural approaches can lwess the severity and promote healthier skin balance. While Ayurveda can provide immense support, don't hesitate to consult a dermatologist if needed for a combined approach to your skincare.
