Hello Santhosha ji, I can understand your concern regarding black marks, deep spots, and pigmentation on the face but dont worry we are here to help you out 😊
Ayurveda focuses on internal blood purification + external skin therapies for lasting results.
✅INTERNAL MEDICATION
1. Manjishthadi Kashya – 20 ml with equal warm water after food (blood purifier, reduces pigmentation).
2. Arogyavardhini Vati – 1 tab twice daily (liver detox, balances Pitta).
3. Sarivadyasava – 30ml with equal water after food (improves skin tone, corrects metabolism).
4. Mahatiktakam ghrita 1 tsp at bed time follwed by warm water
✅EXTERNAL TREATMENT
1. Face Lepas (masks)
Mix Sandalwood + Licorice (Mulethi) + Manjishta powder with rose water or milk – apply 15 min, wash with lukewarm water.
For deeper scars —Neem + Turmeric paste once a week.
2. Oil Massage (Mukh Abhyanga)
Use Kumkumadi Taila – 3–5 drops at night, gently massage and leave overnight.
3. Weekly Therapy
Apply Aloe vera pulp + honey pack once or twice a week to hydrate & heal.
✅ Home Remedies (Easy & Effective)
1. Lemon + Honey Spot Pack Mix 2–3 drops lemon juice + ½ tsp honey. Apply only on dark marks for 10 min, then wash off. Avoid direct sun after applying.
2. Potato Juice Dab
Grate raw potato, squeeze juice, apply on dark spots with cotton. Helps lighten pigmentation gradually.
3 Turmeric + Milk Paste Pinch of turmeric + 1 tsp raw milk. Apply nightly for 5 min, wash with lukewarm water.
4 . Cucumber Rub Rub cucumber slices on face at night to cool skin & reduce dark patches.
✅ DIET AND LIFESTYLE TIPS
Avoid excess spicy, oily, fermented, and junk foods (increase Pitta & worsen marks).
Take fresh fruits (pomegranate, papaya, grapes) regularly.
Drink warm water throughout the day to aid detox.
Ensure 7–8 hrs proper sleep – skin repair happens at night.
Avoid direct sun exposure; if needed, apply a thin layer of aloe vera gel before going out.
With internal blood-purifying medicines and external herbal applications (Kumkumadi taila, lepas) you can see visible improvement in black spots within 8–12 weeks of regular care.
Wish you a good health😊

1) apply turmeric and honey paste once a day 2) kumkumadi taila application twice a day 3) jatyadi ointment application night
Thank you for your kind and valuable answer Mam 😊🙏
I understand your concern. The black marks and spots on your face are due to old pimples and pigmentation. In Ayurveda, these happen because of impure blood (Rakta dushti) and weak digestion (Agni), which allow toxins to settle in the skin.
To improve, we need both internal cleansing and external care.
Internal Medicines
Syrup Purodil – 2 teaspoon twice daily. Manjishtha Vati – 1 tablet twice daily after food. Eranda Bhrishta Haritaki – 1 teaspoon with warm water at night.
External Care
Kumkumadi Taila – gently massage 2–3 drops on the face at night, wash off in morning. Manjishtha Ubtan – make a paste of manjishtha powder with rose water, apply as a face pack 2–3 times a week. This helps lighten dark spots and even out complexion.
Thank you for your kind and valuable answer Mam 😊🙏
1.Sarivadyasava 20 ml with 20 ml water twice daily after meals 2.Kumkumadi Tailam-2–3 drops at night, massage gently
Mulethi powder + Rose Water + Manjistha powder-apply this face pack thrice weekly
Lifestyle & Diet Modifications - Avoid spicy, oily, and fermented foods—they aggravate Pitta - Include coconut water, pomegranate, and coriander-fennel tea - Sleep by 10 PM—skin regenerates best at night - Practice Sheetali Pranayama and Bhramari to cool and calm the system - Gentle Abhyanga (oil massage) with Brahmi or Yashtimadhu oil supports circulation
Thank you for your kind and valuable answer Mam 😊🙏
You Welcome Hope you will get best results.
Thank you Mam 😊🙏
Black marks and spots on the face, often referred to as hyperpigmentation, can be effectively managed through Ayurveda by addressing underlying imbalances such as the exacerbation of Pitta dosha. Here are some steps you can follow to help reduce these spots naturally.
Firstly, focus on balancing your Pitta dosha as it typically governs skin complexion. Consider incorporating purifying herbs like Neem and Manjishtha into your routine. You might use Neem in the form of a face pack — mix Neem powder with water to form a paste, apply it to your face gently and let it sit for about 15 minutes before rinsing it off. Do this 2-3 times a week.
Internally, Manjishtha supports proper blood purification, which can positively affect skin health. You could take Manjishtha powder with warm water, around half a teaspoon twice daily after meals. This will help detoxify your system.
Diet plays an essential role in reducing skin issues. Avoid spicy, oily, and fried foods, which can aggravate Pitta. Instead, include naturally cooling foods such as cucumber, watermelon, and coconut water. Drink ample amounts of water to keep your skin hydrated from inside out.
For topical treatment, use Kumkumadi Tailam, which is an Ayurvedic facial oil designed for skin rejuvenation. Before sleeping, massage a few drops onto the face and wash it off in the morning. This can help to lighten dark spots and improve complexion over time.
Avoid using harsh chemical-based skin products. Opt for natural alternatives like rose water, which has a natural cooling and astringent effect, suitable for Pitta-dominant skin types. Splashing the face with rose water twice a day can soothe the skin and possibly reduce pigmentation over time.
Sun exposure can also worsen dark spots, so protecting your skin with a scarf or natural sunscreen when outdoors is essential. For a natural option, make a paste with equal parts of sandalwood powder and turmeric mixed with milk, apply it for sun protection before stepping out.
Each person’s skin is unique, so monitor your skin’s response to these treatments and adjust accordingly. If your condition does not improve or worsens, it may be best to consult with an Ayurvedic professional for a personalized treatment plan.
Thank you for your kind and valuable answer Sir 😊🙏
To address the issue of black marks and spots on the face from an Ayurvedic perspective, focusing on the underlying imbalances in your doshas is essential. These skin concerns may often indicate an imbalance in Pitta dosha, which can lead to inflammation and pigmentation issues, or a Kapha imbalance which can cause stagnation in the skin. Here’s how you can reduce these spots naturally.
First, consider incorporating turmeric into your daily routine. Turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and can help balance Pitta. Create a mask using 1 teaspoon of turmeric with a few teaspoons of milk or yogurt to form a paste. Apply this on the affected areas 2-3 times a week, leaving it on for about 15-20 minutes before rinsing with lukewarm water. Be cautious with turmeric, as it can stain, so be gentle when rinsing off.
Another effective remedy is using sandalwood powder, which helps in cooling and calming the skin. Mix 1 teaspoon of sandalwood powder with rosewater to make a smooth paste and apply it on your face, targeting the spots specifically. Do this twice a week.
Having a diet that pacifies Pitta can be helpful too. Include more cooling foods like cucumbers, melons, and leafy greens. Avoid spicy, oily, and fried foods which may aggravate the Pitta further.
Incorporate Triphala in your routine to aid in internal detoxification, which can positively affect your skin’s health. Take 1 teaspoon of Triphala powder with warm water before bed — it supports digestion and the body’s natural detox processes. Be consistent with this for several weeks to notice changes.
Ensure you protect your skin from harsh sun exposure by using a natural sunscreen or covering your face with a hat or scarf when outdoors.
Lastly, maintaining a regular skincare routine with gentle cleansing twice daily and moisturizing your skin is vital. Avoid chemical-laden products; opt for those with natural ingredients.
If these marks persist, or grow more severe, consulting a healthcare provider or a dermatologist experienced with Ayurvedic practices can provide a more tailored approach to managing these concerns.
