Hello I hear you. Xanthelasma can be worrying, especially when it’s been around for years. It changes how you look, and deep down, there’s always that nagging thought—does this mean something’s off inside? The reassuring part is, Ayurveda doesn’t just cover up the problem—it helps sort things out from the inside.
YOUR CONCERN
Condition: Xanthelasma (those yellowish spots near the eyelids) Duration: 3–5 years Previous treatment: None so far General health: Everything else seems fine
AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE
In Ayurveda, xanthelasma links to things like: - Medo Dushti (trouble with fat metabolism) - More Kapha and Pitta activity - Imbalance in Rasa and Meda Dhatus - Mild Agnimandya (sluggish fat digestion), even when your blood tests look normal
Sometimes, even if your cholesterol numbers are okay, Ayurveda still sees a problem with how your body handles fat, especially at the tissue level. Those yellow plaques—this is the result.
So, what’s the focus? - Fix how your body handles fat - Support your liver - Balance Kapha and Pitta - Gradually shrink the plaques (quick fixes just aren’t realistic)
A Few Honest Expectations
Xanthelasma isn’t going to vanish overnight. Ayurveda takes its time, but the results last. Older spots can fade and shrink, and you can stop new ones from forming. Really big or stubborn patches might need a mix of dermatologist treatments and Ayurveda, especially if the look really bothers you.
What We’re Aiming For
- Stop the plaques from spreading - Get your internal fat metabolism on track - Slowly fade out the spots and their color - Keep them from coming back
AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT
1. Arogyavardhini Vati 1-0-1 after food - Boosts liver health - Improves fat processing - Balances Kapha and Pitta
2. Triphala Guggulu 1-0-1 after food - Cuts down abnormal fat buildup - Helps with detox and circulation
3. Medohar vati 1-0-1 after food - Targets Meda Dushti directly - Stops extra fat from piling up
EXTERNAL CARE
Kumkumadi taila apply around, but not on, the plaques. Gentle application only—no scrubbing or picking. This can help with skin tone and circulation, but don’t expect miracles overnight.
What to Avoid - Fried foods, bakery stuff, junk food - Reheated oils - Lots of sugar
What to Include - Simple, home-cooked meals - Warm water - Regular meal times
Even if you feel healthy, this part matters for long-term results.

Xanthelasma is usually not just a local skin issue it commonly reflects an internal imbalance related to fat metabolism liver function and digestion Even when your diet has not changed the body can slowly start depositing excess fat in delicate areas like the eyelids Hypertension also indicates that circulation and metabolic regulation need support
From an ayurvedic understanding this condition develops due to accumulation of abnormal fat and impurities in the blood Therefore treatment focuses on improving digestion correcting lipid metabolism supporting the liver and gradually clearing these deposits from within External application alone cannot remove xanthelasma permanently
With regular and disciplined treatment the progression can be stopped and in many cases the size and prominence of the spots gradually reduce This process is slow and requires patience as these deposits develop over a long period of time
For internal support Triphala guggulu two tablets twice daily after food helps in correcting fat metabolism and reducing abnormal deposits Alovera juice twenty ml every morning on empty stomach supports liver function and digestion and helps in detoxification
For external care gentle application of kumkumadi taila around the affected area at night can be advised with care avoiding entry into the eyes
Dietary correction is very important Avoid oily fried foods excess sweets bakery items red meat and late night eating Prefer light freshly cooked food adequate hydration regular sleep and daily walking
Since you have hypertension it is advisable to monitor blood pressure regularly and also check lipid profile and liver function tests if not done recently This helps in guiding treatment more accurately
With consistent treatment lifestyle discipline and follow up xanthelasma can be controlled and further increase can be prevented and gradual improvement can be achieved
