Sariva ghanvati 1-0-1 after food with water Apply kumkumadi oil on pigmented areas
hello poojitha reddy ,
I understand how stressful and frustrating it can be to have persistent pigmentation around your lips, especially when you’ve tried several products with little improvement. In Ayurveda, pigmentation in this area is often related to Pitta imbalance, sun exposure, dryness, or digestive/metabolic issues that create toxins (Ama) in the body. Stress, irregular lifestyle, and dietary habits can also make the pigmentation appear darker or return after temporary improvement. The goal of treatment is to reduce pigmentation from the root by balancing doshas, improving digestion, and nourishing the skin, rather than just covering it temporarily.
1. Ama Pachana (Digestive Cleanser) – 3 days Triphala Churna: 3g at night with warm water 2. Internal Medicines (after Ama Pachana) Manjistha Churna: 3g twice daily with warm water after meals (20 days) – helps clear toxins and supports skin brightening Haritaki Churna: 3g at night with warm water (15–20 days) – supports gentle detoxification Chandanadi Churna or Tablet: 2 tablets twice daily with warm water (20 days) – reduces pigmentation and cools Pitta
Apply a thin layer of Chandanadi Thailam or Kumkumadi Tailam around lips at night before sleep Keep area clean, avoid harsh scrubbing or chemical creams
Diet Recommendations:
Eat cooling, Pitta-pacifying foods like cucumbers, melons, milk, ghee Avoid excessive spicy, sour, or fried foods Drink plenty of warm water to flush out toxins Avoid excessive sun exposure; use natural lip cover (like mild ghee)
Ensure regular sleep and stress management Avoid picking or rubbing lips Gentle exfoliation with a soft cloth once a week
Investigations (if needed): Liver function tests if pigmentation is stubborn Blood sugar profile to rule out metabolic causes
Do’s & Don’ts: Do apply herbal oils at night Eat Pitta-friendly foods Stay hydrated Avoid sun exposure Don’t use harsh chemical creams Don’t smoke or consume alcohol Maintain regular digestion Follow a daily routine Avoid excessive heat or hot drinks Be consistent with medicine and topical application
Review after 3–4 weeks of consistent internal and topical treatment Track changes in pigmentation and adjust medicines if needed
With patience and regular care, the pigmentation around lips can gradually reduce, and recurrences can be prevented by following a balanced diet, proper digestion, and herbal support. Consistency is key.
Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

Hello Poojitha ji,
Pigmentation around lips and mouth (called Perioral Hyperpigmentation in modern terms) is a common issue in young women, but dont worry we are here to help you out😊
✅ PROBABLE CAUSES ❗ (Why it’s not going away even after 4 years)
✔️Staying in hostel - irregular food, stress, disturbed sleep.
✔️Sun exposure & dehydration - pigmentation worsens when back at hostel.
✔️Use of random creams/chemical products - only suppresses but doesn’t cure.
✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT
✅INTERNAL MEDICATION (to purify blood & balance pitta)
1 Manjisthadi ks tab 2-0-2 after food
2 Sarivadyasava – 30ml-0-30ml after food (acts as a blood purifier & reduces pigmentation).
3 Triphala powder – 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime (detox + clear skin).
✅EXTERNAL REMEDIES (natural application for pigmentation)
👉 Aloe vera gel + Manjistha powder paste – apply around lips daily for 15 min, wash with lukewarm water.
👉Sandalwood powder + rose water – soothing pack for reducing pigmentation.
👉Kumkumadi Tailam – 2–3 drops at night, massage gently around lips.
✅ LIFESTYLE AND DIET TIPS
👉Avoid excess spicy, oily, hostel junk food, packaged drinks.
👉Drink 3–4 liters water daily + include coconut water for pitta balance.
👉Eat pomegranate, amla, carrot, beetroot regularly for skin glow.
👉Always apply natural sunscreen (aloe vera gel + few drops of coconut oil) when stepping out.

Poojitha ji, pigmentation around the lips is not permanent. Since you are just 21, your skin has high healing power😊
✅The key is to heal from inside (blood purification & digestion correction) and not depend only on outside creams
✅ With regular use of the above remedies, you can expect visible reduction in 2–3 month
Wish you a good Skin😊
Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

HELLO POOJITHA,
WHY IT HAPPENS -the skin around your lips is very thin and sensitive -When digestive fire is weak or irregular , it produces toxins(ama) that circulate in the blood -These toxins + excess pitta (heat) deposit in skin layers and cause dark patches/pigmentation -Vata imbalance (dry hostel food, irregular sleep, stress ) worsens it by reducing skin nourishment -That’s why it improves at home (better food/water/environment) but returns in hostel.
POSSIBLE FACTORS -Iron, vitamin D deficinecies -Hormonal imbalances - thyroid, pcod sometimes -excessive sun exposure -harsh toothpaste, lip balms, hostel water with chlorine/fluoride
TREATMENT GOALS -Purify blood= remove toxins that deposit as pigmentation -Balance pitta= reduce excess heat, inflammation, sensitivity -Nourish skin= strengthen deeper tissue -Support digestion= improve agni so that new toxins are not formed -correct lifestyle= remove triggers that worsen pigmentation
INTERNAL MEDICATIONS
1) MANJISTHA GHAN VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals for 3 months =best blood purifier, reduces pigmentation , clears heat from skin
2) ALOEVERA JUICE (FRESH) =20-30 ml empty stomach morning daily for 2 months =cools pitta, hydrates skin, supports liver detox
3) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with lukewarm water at night for 2 months =improves digestion, removes constipation, helps detox
4) GUDUCHI CAPSULE= 1 cap once daily =enhances immunity, balances pitta, cleans blood
EXTERNAL/LOCAL APPLICATIONS
1) ALOE VERA PULP= apply around lips at night
2) MANJISTHA + LICORICE + MILK PASTE= apply 10 mins, wash off 2-3 times/week
3) KUMKUMADI TAILA= 1-2 drops, gentle massage on pigmentation at night avoid licking
4) SANDALWOOD PASTE WITH ROSE WATER= occasional cooling mask
DIET AND LIFESTYLE
DO -Include= ghee, soaked almonds, walnuts, pomegranate, amla, green leafy vegetables, beetroot, carrots -Hydration= coconut water, buttermilk, herbal teas -Fresh homemade food when possible avoid reheated hostel mess food if you can
AVOID -too much spicy, fried, junk ,fermented foods -excess tea, coffee, aerated drinks -late nights, irregular meals -constant lip licking or harsh cosmetics
YOGA AND PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= balances pitta and stress -Sheetali/sheetkari = cooling breath for heat/pitta -Surya namaskar= mild practice for circulation -Shavasana= stress relief
SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES -Turmeric + milk paste around lips 2-3 times a week -cucumber juice application around mouth in summer -potato slice rub mild bleaching effect -honey + lemon few drops pack (avoid if skin very sensitive)
Pigmentation around the mouth is not dangerous but is a signal from body about internal imbalance. -Ayurveda sees this a combination of pitta + vata imbalance with rakta dushti (impure blood) -With internal detox + skin nourishing herbs + lifestyle correction, gradual improvement is expected within 3-6 months -the fact that it improves at home means environment, food, lifestyle are key triggers
Be consistent. Pigmentation won’t vanish overnight, but you should see lightening within 2-3 months and much clearer skin with long term balance
DO FOLLOW
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL
THANK YOU

Pigmentation around the lips can be influenced by various factors, including lifestyle, diet, and the environment. In Ayurveda, pigmentation issues are often related to imbalances in the doshas, particularly Pitta. Here are several ayurvedic recommendations to help address this concern:
First, consider your diet, as it plays a significant role in managing pigmentation. Try to include cooling foods that help balance Pitta, such as cucumber, melon, coconut water, and leafy greens. Avoid spicy, fried or overly salty foods that can aggravate Pitta and potentially worsen pigmentation.
Topically, using natural remedies with Ayurvedic elements might be beneficial. Consider making a paste of sandalwood powder and rose water, apply it gently to the affected area, and leave it for 15-20 minutes before washing it off with lukewarm water. This can help soothe excess pitta and promote skin clarity. Repeat this remedy thrice a week based on your convenience.
Aloe Vera gel is another remedy to introduce to your routine. Applying fresh aloe vera gel can hydrate the skin and can assist in pigmentation reduction. Apply a small amount of gel at night and leave overnight if possible.
Engage in a regular detoxifying practice which can improve overall skin health. Trphala can be a mild and effective Ayurvedic formulation that supports detoxification and should take 1 tbsp in warm water before bed to aid digestion and detox. Ensure you discuss with a healthcare provider if you have underlying health conditions.
Sun protection is crucial, as UV exposure may worsen pigmentation. Consider covering the affected area with a scarf when stepping outside to minimize direct exposure.
Lastly, it might be helpful to set a consistent sleep schedule and manage stress effectively through yoga and meditation, as these practices maintain dosha balance, particularly vata and pitta, contributing to improve skin health. If your problem persist or worsens, consult a healthcare professional for further guidance.
Pigmentation around the lips can often be linked to various factors including imbalance in the doshas, specifically pitta and vata, and lifestyle habits. It’s essential to address these imbalances to achieve long-term improvement. In the Siddha-Ayurvedic tradition, we emphasize the control of internal factors as well as external care. Firstly, consider your diet and ensure you’re consuming food that reduces pitta dosha. Include cooling foods like cucumbers, watermelon, and mint for their calming effects. Additionally, avoid spicy, oily, and processed foods that can aggravate pitta.
Applying topical treatments can also support this internal balance. A simple, natural paste made from turmeric and milk can be applied daily to the affected area. Turmeric acts as a natural skin lightener and anti-inflammatory, soothe pigmentation. Mix a teaspoon of turmeric with enough milk to form a paste, apply it gently on the pigmentation, leave for 15 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water.
Consider cleansing the skin with natural ingredients like rose water, which has soothing and hydrating properties. It’s crucial to foster an environment for the skin to rejuvenate itself. Protect the skin from excessive sun exposure, as this can worsen pigmentation. Using a natural sandalwood paste as a mild sunscreen can shield the skin from harmful rays.
Addressing the root cause, ensure proper hydration and regular sleep to support balanced doshas and enhance skin’s ability to heal. Practices like pranayama and gentle yoga can aid in stress reduction, thus reducing pigmentation aggravated by stress. Consistently following this routine, tailored to your body’s specific needs, is likely to yield gradual improvement. If pigmentation persists without improvement, consulting a healthcare professional for further investigation is advisable.
