THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR WIFE CONDITION
WHEN XANTHELASMA STAYS FOR MANY YEARS IT BECOMES BOTH A COSMETIC AND INTERNAL HEALTH WORRY BUT I WANT TO ASSURE YOU THAT AYURVEDA DOES OFFER A NATURAL AND SAFE WAY TO MANAGE THIS CONDITION
IN AYURVEDA XANTHELASMA IS NOT SEEN AS ONLY A SKIN ISSUE IT IS A SIGN OF MEDA DHATU DUSHTI MEANS IMPROPER FAT METABOLISM WITH KAPHA AND MILD PITTA IMBALANCE EVEN IF YOUR WIFE FEELS GENERALLY HEALTHY THIS INTERNAL IMBALANCE CAN EXIST SILENTLY AND SHOW UP AROUND THE EYES
AS THE PROBLEM IS PRESENT FROM 3-5 YEARS THE TREATMENT NEEDS TO BE CONSISTENT AND ROOT BASED
TRIPHALA GUGGULU ONE TABLET TWICE DAILY AFTER FOOD WITH LUKEWARM WATER
AROGYAVARDHINI VATI ONE TABLET ONCE DAILY AFTER BREAKFAST
ALOE VERA JUICE FIFTEEN ML IN THE MORNING EMPTY STOMACH MIXED WITH EQUAL WATER FOR DETOXIFICATION AND BLOOD PURIFICATION PUNARNAVA MANDOOR ONE TABLET TWICE DAILY AFTER FOOD
AT NIGHT ONE DROP OF PURE CASTOR OIL CAN BE APPLIED AROUND THE XANTHELASMA AREA WITHOUT RUBBING AND WASHED OFF IN THE MORNING

DAILY 40 MINUTES WALKING IS
SLEEP BEFORE 11 PM AVOID STRESS
I ADVISE A LIPID PROFILE TEST BECAUSE XANTHELASMA OFTEN INDICATES INTERNAL CHOLESTEROL IMBALANCE EVEN WHEN THERE ARE NO OTHER COMPLAINTS
OLD XANTHELASMA DOES NOT VANISH COMPLETELY BUT WITH REGULAR MEDICINES AND DISCIPLINE IT CAN LIGHTEN REDUCE IN SIZE AND STOP INCREASING IF FOLLOWED CONSISTENTLY FOR THREE TO SIX MONTHS NOTICEABLE IMPROVEMENT IS SEEN AND FURTHER GUIDANCE CAN BE GIVEN BASED ON RESPONSE

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.
Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate
HELLO,
Xanthelasma appears as yellowish , soft, flat or slightly raised patches on the eyelids, usually near the inner corners of the eyes
It is painless, non-itchy, and slow growing, which is why many people ignore it for years
Although modern medicine considers it mainly a cholesterol-related skin deposition. Ayurveda explains it more deeply as a metabolic imbalance inside the body
Even when blood cholestrol is normal, Ayurveda still treats it seriously it reflects faulty fat metabolism and Poor tissue nutrition
In Ayurveda, your wife’s condition can be explained as
A) DOSHA INVOLVEMENT -KAPHA DOSHA (main culprit)-> causes heaviness, oiliness, accumulation
-PITTA DOSHA (associated)-> affects blood and skin coloration
WHAT ACTUALLY GOES WRONG INSIDE -digestive fire (agni) becomes weak -fat metabolism becomes sluggish -improper fat particles circulate in blood -these get deposited in weak areas eyelid skin -over years, visible yellow plaques form
This is why Xanthelasma is considered : “A sign of internal imbalance, not just a skin disease”
WHY IT IS CHRONIC (3-5 years) -kapha disorders progress slowly -no pain or discomfort-> treatment delayed -no early mediicnes taken -fat metabolism remains disturbed for years
Hence, treatment must be systematic and long term , not cosmetic
TREATMENT GOALS -correct fat metabolism -purify blood -remove kapha accumulation -prevent recurrence -improve skin quality naturally
INTERNAL TREATMENT
MEDICINES TO CORRECT FAT METABOLISM
1) TRIPHALA GUGGULU= 1 tab twice daily after meals with warm water =reduces abnormal fat deposits, improves tissue metabolism, prevents further accumulation
- MEDOHAR GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice dialy after meals (alternative to triphala guggulu) =classical medicine for meda imbalance, helps reduce lipid deposits naturally
MEDICINES FOR BLOOD PURIFICATION
2) MANJISTHA GHAN VATI= 1 tab twice daily with warm water =purifies blood, improves skin tone, helps reabsorption of deposits
3) SARIVADYAVSAVA= 15ml twice daily after meals with equal water =excellent rakta sodrana mediicne, reduces chroni skin manifestations
DIGESTIVE AND METABOLIC SUPPORT
4) TRIKATU CHURNA= 2gm before meal with honey =improves digestion, breaks kapha accumulation, enhances action of other mediicnes
MILD DETOX SUPPORT
5) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at night with warm water =gentle detox, improves bowel movement, prevents toxin accumulation
EXTERNAL TREATMENT External therapy helps appearance, but internal treatment is mandatory
HERBAL PASTE(once daily) -lodhra + manjistha + haridra powder -mix with rose water -apply thin layer on patches for 15-20 min =scraping action, improvs skin color, reduces thickness gradually
Avoid eye contact
HOME REMEDIES -warm water throughout the day -buttermilk with roasted cumin daily -garlic (1 small clove/day if tolerated) -triphala water occassionally
Avoid lemon, vinegar , strong acids near eyes
DIET -barley -green gram -bitter vegetables karela, neem -steamed vegetables -old rice -warm, freshly cooked meals
AVOID -fried foods -bakeryitems -cheese, panner -excess milk at night -sugar and sweets -cold drinks
Diet is 50% of treatment in kapha disorders
LIFESTYLE CHANGES -no daytime sleep -early dinner before 8 pm -daily brisk walk 30-45 min -avoid excessive screen time at night -stress reduction very important
YOGA ASANA -surya namaskar -paschimottanasana -ardha matsyendrasana
PRANAYAM -kapalbhati = improves metabolism -Anulom Vilom= balances doshas -bhramari= stress reduction
DURATION OF TREATMENT -Visible improvement= 2-3 months -Significant reduction= 4-6 months -Complete management=6-9 months
Stopping early can cause recurrece
Xantheasma is not dangerous, but it signals internal imbalance Ayurveda offers safe, root level correction Patience and consistency are essential Results are gradual but long lasting
DO FOLLOW
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL
THANK YOU

xanthelasma usually develops due to long standing imbalance in fat metabolism and mild liver sluggishness even when the person otherwise feels healthy
when these yellowish patches remain for years it shows internal accumulation of unhealthy lipids rather than a skin level problem
from an ayurvedic perspective the approach is to correct digestion liver function and fat metabolism so that further deposition stops and existing patches slowly reduce
for internal correction triphala guggulu one tablet twice daily after food with warm water is advised as it helps in regulating fat metabolism and clearing accumulated toxins
aloe vera juice twenty ml every morning on empty stomach mixed with lukewarm water supports liver detoxification and improves internal balance
these medicines should be continued regularly for at least three to four months to observe gradual changes
along with medicines diet plays a very important role fried food bakery items excess sweets refined oils cheese and late night meals should be avoided
simple home cooked food with more vegetables whole grains millets and warm water intake through the day is beneficial
daily walking for at least thirty minutes and avoiding daytime sleep helps in improving metabolism
local cosmetic treatments may give temporary results but without internal correction the patches usually return
if possible a basic lipid profile and liver function test can be done to understand the internal status better
with consistent ayurvedic treatment diet and lifestyle correction the aim is to treat the root cause and prevent further progression rather than only focusing on the skin change
Ayurveda addresses the root—medo‑dhatu dushti (lipid metabolism imbalance), yakrit dushti (liver dysfunction), and pitta‑kapha aggravation.
