For deep, old scars (over 3 years), natural remedies may help slightly with fading but won’t completely remove them. You can try: Aloe vera gel – apply daily to moisturize and promote healing. Honey – natural humectant and can slightly lighten scars over time. Coconut oil – massage gently to improve skin texture. Lemon juice – use cautiously, diluted, only on non-irritated skin for mild lightening.

Deep scars cannot completely disappear naturally, but you can fade them over time. Natural remedies help lighten color, improve skin texture. Aloe vera gel Apply fresh gel on scars daily. Helps heal skin and lighten marks. Honey + turmeric paste Mix 1 tsp honey + a pinch of turmeric. Apply on scars for 20 minutes, 3–4 times a week. Coconut oil or sesame oil massage Massage gently on scars daily. Improves blood circulation Amlapitta mishran 1tab bd Helps detoxify blood and improve skin health.

Hello I get how you feel about those deep scars and how they can bug you. Since they’ve been around for a while (over 3 years), they won’t just disappear on their own. But, with some good Ayurvedic care, they can become lighter, softer, and less obvious if you stick with it YOUR CONCERN –Deep, old scars usually mean: –Too much Vata – that’s dryness and not-so-great skin repair –Rakta & Mamsa dhatu issues – skin layers didn’t heal right Less collagen repair as time passes –So, treatment is all about feeding those dhatus, cleaning up the blood, and getting the skin to regenerate. AYURVEDIC PLAN EXTERNAL CARE 👉Aloe Vera Gel (every night) Use fresh gel and gently rub it on the scars Good for smoothing and fixing things up 👉Kumkumadi Tailam A few drops on the scar area at night Makes skin look better and feel smoother 👉Turmeric + Honey Mask (a few times a week) Mix a tiny bit of turmeric with a teaspoon of honey Leave it on for 15 minutes, then wash off 👉Onion Juice (if you want) Put it on the area a few times a week Can those help old, deep scars INTERNAL MEDICATION 1.Amla – every day (raw or in powder form) 2.Manjisthadi kashaya tablet 2-0-2 after food cleans the blood 3.Guduchi capsule 1-0-1 after food – good for tissue and immunity 4.A teaspoon of ghee every day (if you can digest it well) DIET PLAN ✔ Eat warm, freshly cooed food ✔ Load up on green veggies, fruits, and soaked nuts ✔ Get enough sleep and drink plenty of water ❌ Stay Away From: Fried and junk food Too much sugar Picking or scrubbing at the scars Putting lemon juice directly on them What to Check (If Things Aren’t Getting Better) Iron levels Vitamin D & B12 How well you’re digesting food In a month or two: Skin tone should look better In a few months: Scars should be lighter and smoother They won’t totally vanish naturally, but they should look much better Healing scars naturally takes time and effort. If you tell me: Where the scars are (face or body) What kind they are (from acne, an injury, surgery) I can give you a more specific Ayurvedic plan. Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

Warm Regards DR. ANJALI SEHRAWAT

If any surgical scar you cannot fade the mark completely If it has been due to any pimple, burn or any disease like chickenpox (hope no other symptoms like burning sensation, itching is present) Apply Vaidyaratnam Raktachandanadi churna with curd once in a day for 2 months
