Doctors' responses
Addressing pigmentation issues, especially post-menopausal, involves understanding the underlying causes according to Ayurveda, such as imbalances in the doshas. Typically, hyperpigmentation is associated with Pitta imbalance, which can be influenced by hormonal changes.
For topical application, consider using Kumkumadi Tailam, a traditional Ayurvedic oil known for its skin-rejuvenating properties. Apply a few drops to the affected area twice daily with gentle massage. This oil is crafted with saffron and sandalwood, which are renowned for enhancing skin tone.
Dietary considerations can also assist in managing pigmentation. Consume cooling and Pitta pacifying foods like cucumber, melons, apples, and cilantro. Try to minimize intake of spicy, fermented, or acidic foods that can aggravate Pitta. Incorporating turmeric into your diet, such as having golden milk (turmeric with warm milk), can support your skin from the inside.
Ensure you’re staying hydrated; sometimes, skin issues can be exacerbated by simple dehydration. Aim for warm or room temperature water instead of cold to maintain optimal digestion.
Regular daily practices like dry brushing before bathing and applying a natural moisturizer post-bath can boost circulation and skin health. If you’re open to it, consider integrating yoga and meditation into your routine. These practices support emotional balance and can indirectly benefit your skin by reducing stress.
Avoid prolonged sun exposure; if unavoidable, wear a wide-brimmed hat or use a natural sunscreen. Keep in mind, that Ayurveda promotes holistic management, and patience is key. Changes might take several weeks to be visible. However, if the pigmentation persists or worsens, consulting with a healthcare provider or a dermatologist might be necessary to rule out other conditions.
