How to get rid of sebaceous keratosis (age spots) & skin tags? It’s genetic & runs in the family. I see my aunties with age spots on their faces. An aunt got rid of them by laser but they came back after a year. I’m Asian but have freckles but Freckles don’t bother me. Is there any skincare to get rid of age spots & skin tags naturally? Or some herbs to consume? Thanks.

Of course, Anjali. Here’s a layered Ayurvedic guide to diet and lifestyle do’s and don’ts, especially tailored for your healing philosophy—gentle, seasonal, emotionally resonant, and deeply nourishing. This framework supports digestion, immunity, hormonal balance, and mental clarity across all ages and constitutions.

🍽️ Ayurvedic Diet: Do’s & Don’ts ✅ Do’s • Eat warm, freshly cooked meals: Supports Agni (digestive fire) and prevents Ama (toxins). • Include all six tastes daily: Sweet, sour, salty, bitter, pungent, astringent—in balance. • Favor seasonal, local produce: Aligns with your body’s natural rhythms. • Use digestive spices: Cumin, coriander, fennel, ginger, turmeric. • Soak nuts and seeds overnight: Improves digestibility and nutrient absorption. • Drink herbal teas: CCF tea (cumin-coriander-fennel), tulsi, ginger, or mint based on season. • Eat mindfully: Sit down, chew slowly, avoid distractions. • Include ghee: Nourishes tissues, calms Vata, supports brain and gut health.

❌ Don’ts • ❌ Skip meals or eat late at night • ❌ Consume cold, raw, or processed foods regularly • ❌ Combine incompatible foods (e.g., milk + sour fruits, fish + dairy) • ❌ Overeat or eat when stressed, angry, or distracted • ❌ Drink iced water or beverages during meals - ❌ Rely on packaged snacks or artificial sweeteners

🧘 Lifestyle: Do’s & Don’ts ✅ Do’s - Wake before sunrise: Aligns with Brahma Muhurta, enhances clarity and vitality. - Practice Abhyanga (oil massage): Daily with sesame or medicated oils like Bala or Dhanwantharam. - Move gently: Yoga, walking, stretching—especially in the morning. - Follow a daily rhythm: Regular sleep, meals, and self-care routines. - Engage in creative expression: Singing, journaling, drawing—especially for emotional release. - Use natural light and fresh air: Vital for circadian balance and mood. - Practice gratitude and grounding rituals: Prayer, meditation, or simply sitting with nature.

❌ Don’ts - ❌ Stay up late or sleep during the day - ❌ Overuse screens, especially before bed - ❌ Suppress natural urges (urination, hunger, tears) - ❌ Overexert physically or mentally without rest - ❌ Ignore emotional stress—unprocessed emotions affect digestion and immunity - ❌ Use synthetic fragrances or harsh skincare products

Sebaceous keratosis and skin tags are common and often related to genetics, as you’ve noticed in your family. While these are benign and not harmful, addressing them through Ayurveda can provide some natural relief and support skin health. Here’s a holistic approach:

1. Dietary Modifications: In Ayurveda, skin issues often relate to imbalances in the body, particularly the doshas. Consuming a diet that balances Pitta dosha is advisable, as excessive heat and toxins might contribute to these conditions. Include cooling foods like cucumber, melon, and leafy greens. Avoid spicy, oily, and processed foods which might aggravated the condition.

2. Herbs and Spices: Certain herbs can support skin health. Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is renowned for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. You might consider taking turmeric with warm milk or water. Triphala, a blend of three fruits, can support digestive health and help in detoxifying your body. Its regualr use can smoothen skin over time.

3. External Application: Applying Aloe Vera gel directly on the spots can help soothe the skin and reduce the appearance of sebaceous keratosis over time. A paste made from Sandalwood and Rose water can also be applied, as it has cooling and healing properties beneficial for Pitta-related skin issues.

4. Lifestyle Adjustments: Stress management is crucial, as stress can exacerbate skin conditions. Practices like yoga, meditation, or Pranayama can promote overall harmony and reduce stress. Sleep is also essential, aim for 7-8 hours a night to facilitate natural skin repair.

5. Regular Cleansing: Cleansing your skin twice a day with herbal cleansers that contain ingredients like Neem or Tulsi can prevent excessive oil buildup, and protect the skin from impurities.

If you do not see improvement or if they cause discomfort, it’s better to consult with a dermatologist. Remember, Ayurvedic treatments take time and consistency is the key for natural remedies to show effects…

HELLO LYND,

Seborrheic keratosis and skin tags correspond to “charmakeela” and “vyanga” in Ayurveda. They are considered due to vitiation of Kapha and pitta doshas, with accumulation of meda (fat tissue) and Ama (toxins) under the skin.

COMMON CAUSES- excessive intake of oily, heavy , fried foods, sedentary lifestyle and poor digestion

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime daily = detoxifies liver, improves digestion, reduces ama

2) MANJISTHA CAPSULES= 500 mg capsules twice daily after meals = excellent blood purifier and skin rejuvenator

3) HARIDRA KHANDA= 1 tsp with warm milk daily = anti inflammatory and anti oxidant

4) GUDUCHI GHAN VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals = balances all doshas, purifies the system

5) AROGYAVARDHINI VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals = improves liver metabolism, reduces hyperpigmentation

EXTERNAL TREATMENT

HERBAL PACKS AND OILS

- neem and turmeric paste - mix equal parts add rose water apply on affected spots 15-20 min rinse = anti fungal , anti inflammatory reduces keratosis over time

- Aloe Vera gel with lemon juice - mix 1 tsp fresh aloe Vera gel + few drops of lemon juice apply on spots at night = brightens pigmentation , soothes skin

- Castor oil and tea tree oil mix 1 tsp castor oil and 1 drop tea tree oil = dab gently on keratosis or tags nightly , helps dry out tags naturally over weeks

- Sandalwood + Licorice powder paste= mix with rose water apply for 15 min daily = evens skin tone and reduces pigmentation

DIET - favour light, detoxifying foods: moong dal, steamed vegetables, gourds, turmeric, amla, and ginger

Avoid Fried , oily, dairy heavy and sugary foods

INCLUDE fresh fruits, leafy greens and plenty of warm water Drink Triphala water at night for gentle detox

LIFESTYLE - regular exercise or yoga to enhance circulation and metabolism -practice oil massage weekly with sesame oil - manage stress with pranayam, meditation, or Shital breathing Get adequate sunlight vitamin D helps regulate skin turnover

PANCHAKARMA if feasible can go to ayurvedic centre VIRECHENA= balances pitta and cleanses the liver

RAKTAMOKSHANA= sometimes advised for localised lesion

HERBAL PASTE= for targeted treatment of spots

HOME REMEDIES - apple cider vinegar diluted with equal quantity water :- dab on age spots once daily avoid eye area - Raw potatoe juice - mild skin brightened - Green tea- apply cooled area as toner for antioxidant protection

Ayurveda focuses on root cause correction

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

To address sebaceous keratosis (age spots) and skin tags from an Ayurvedic perspective, we need to consider balancing your doshas and strengthening the skin tissue, as these growths are often related to imbalances in the body’s systems. While it’s essential to recognize that these conditions are usually harmless, natural treatments can help manage them.

First, focus on your diet. A diet that pacifies the Pitta dosha might be beneficial. Include cooling foods such as cucumber, melon, and leafy greens. Avoid excessive spicy, oily, and fried foods that can aggravate Pitta. Staying well-hydrated is also crucial.

There are a few topical remedies you can try. Applying a paste made of turmeric and sandalwood powder on the affected areas can help reduce pigmentation and support skin health. Mix equal parts of the powders with a little water or rose water to form a paste, and apply it daily. Leave it on for about 20 minutes before washing off.

For ingestion, consider incorporating amla (Indian gooseberry) into your daily routine. Amla is rich in antioxidants and known for its ability to rejuvenate the skin. You can consume amla juice or powdered amla with warm water each morning.

Additionally, massage your skin with sesame oil or coconut oil. This practice can improve circulation and assist in the gentle shedding of dead skin cells. A gentle, circular motion is best, and you might do this two to three times a week.

However, if the growths are bothersome or change in appearance, it would be wise to consult a dermatologist for evaluation. Natural remedies can support overall skin health, though they may not entirely prevent the recurrence of such conditions if they’re genetically predisposed.
