hello Upasana Patel,

Facial and body hair growth in women, especially when it’s more than usual, is often due to a hormonal imbalance, typically involving excess androgens (male hormones). In Ayurveda, this can be linked to Pitta-Kapha imbalance, especially when digestion (Agni) is disturbed and hormones are not functioning smoothly. Sometimes, this also indicates mild PCOS, even if not diagnosed.

Stress, poor diet, use of chemical-based cosmetics, or hereditary factors can also worsen the condition. The aim in Ayurvedic care is to reduce excess hormones naturally, improve digestion and liver function (which regulates hormones), and use external natural remedies to gradually weaken the hair roots without side effects.

The remedies help purify the blood, support liver detoxification, and regulate menstrual and hormonal health. External pastes and ubtans reduce hair growth over time by gently uprooting baby hairs and preventing thick regrowth.

Internal Medicines (1–2 months) Kanchanar Guggulu – 2 tablets twice a day after food with warm water Triphala Churna – ½ tsp at bedtime with lukewarm water Shatavari Churna – ½ tsp with warm milk in the morning Spearmint Tea – 1 cup daily (natural anti-androgenic effect)

External Remedies (2–3 times/week) Ubtan for Facial Hair Ingredients: Besan (gram flour) + Kasthuri Haldi + Raw Milk Apply to face, semi-dry, rub gently opposite to hair growth Wash off with lukewarm water Frequency: 3 times a week Raw Papaya & Turmeric Paste Mash raw papaya + pinch of turmeric Apply for 20 minutes, then rinse Once a week

Body Hair Scrub Green gram flour + Fenugreek powder + Turmeric + Water Use before bath, gently scrub on body 2–3 times per week

Avoid: Sugar, dairy, fried/oily/spicy foods Include: Amla juice, curry leaves, soaked almonds, flaxseeds, whole grains

If you have any doubts, you can contact me. Take care, Regards, Karthika

Don’t worry, **Mash ripe papaya and mix it with a pinch of turmeric powder to create a paste. Apply the mask to your face and leave it on for 15-20 minutes before rinsing it off. **you can also add besan in this mixture. **Daily Massage with few drops of LOMSHATANAADI OIL. It will take some time but you’ll definitely get rid from your unwanted hair…

Facial and body hair can indeed become a concern, but Ayurveda offers natural remedies aimed at balancing your doshas, particularly if enhanced Pitta or Kapha dosha is contributing to such growth. Turmeric and Gram Flour Paste is the age-old remedy to help reduce facial hair over time. Mix 1 tablespoon of turmeric powder with 2 tablespoons of gram flour and enough milk to make a paste. Apply it to the face, leave for about 15 minutes before gently scrubbing off in circular motions. Do this 2-3 times a week to slowly diminish hair growth while enhancing skin health.

For both facial and body hair, sugar-lemon concoction can work effectively. Combine 2 tablespoons of sugar with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and a bit of water. Heat the mixture until sugar dissolves, then let it cool. Apply and leave it on areas with unwanted hair for about 20 minutes, and rinse off with lukewarm water while gently rubbing. This can be done once a week for effective results.

Address your body’s internal balance by including spearmint tea in your routine. Consuming one cup a day can help regulate hormones which often aggravate hair growth. Additionally, keeping a diet rich in phytoestrogens like flaxseeds and soy can aid through hormone optimization.

Manjistha powder might be useful too. When taken internally, it helps purify the blood and eliminate excess hair-promoting toxins from the body. Consider one teaspoon twice a day with warm water, but consult an Ayurvedic practitioner before commence—particularly if you’re pregnant or have specific health concerns.

Maintain dietary balance by avoiding spicy and sour foods which is thought to increase Pitta, since excess Pitta can sometimes relate to unwanted hair growth. Stay hydrated and include leafy greens to support the liver in processing and detoxifying hormones. Address stress with mindful practice such as Yoga or Pranayama, as chronic stress could affect hormonal balance too.

Finally, consult a professional Ayurvedic practitioner to tailor remedies specific to your body constitution (Prakriti) and current imbalances (Vikriti) for genuinely personalized guidance. While home remedies can assist in managing symptoms, understanding the root cause is key for long-term hair growth reduction.

Facial hair growth can be a concern, and there are natural remedies grounded in the Siddha-Ayurvedic tradition that may help manage it. Start by incorporating turmeric into your routine. A turmeric-chickpea flour paste can be applied to the face; blend 1 teaspoon of turmeric with 2 tablespoons of chickpea flour and enough water to make a thick paste. Apply this paste on the areas with facial hair, let it dry, and then gently scrub it off in a circular motion. You can do this remedy up to two times a week. Turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties and may help reduce hair growth over time.

Another approach is using a spearmint tea, as it’s known to have an anti-androgenic effect, which can reduce hair growth. Drinking 1-2 cups of spearmint tea daily may help balance your hormones, which can contribute to reducing unwanted hair.

Consider your dosha balance—specifically vata and pitta, as they are often involved in skin and hair conditions. Use herbal oils like Nalpamaradi or Kumkumadi tailam for a calming effect on both doshas. Apply a few drops usually at night and massage gently.

For body hair, try dry brushing with a natural bristle brush before bathing. It can improve circulation and may, over time, reduce the density of hair. Focus on consistency and patience; results will develop gradually.

In regards to permanent hair removal, procedures like laser treatments might be unsuitable for some body types. Always get a professional evaluation if opting for modern treatments. If you have a sudden increase in hair growth, it could indicate a potential health issue, so consulting with a healthcare professional is recommended.
