In Ayurveda, the appearance of a yellowish tint and dark patches on the face is typically diagnosed through the lens of Kshudra Roga (minor skin conditions) or Vyangya (hyperpigmentation), primarily caused by an imbalance in the Pitta Dosha and a disturbance in the Rakta Dhatu (blood tissue). 1.Mahamanjisthadi Kadha: A potent blood purifier. Dosage: 15–20 ml with an equal amount of water, twice a day after meals. 2. Arogyavardhini Vati: Excellent for balancing liver enzymes and clearing skin toxins.

The timing after multivitamins and flaxseed capsules suggests a metabolic or liver clearance overload with Pitta–Rakta aggravation, leading to pigmentation changes and intermittent skin inflammation. First priority is stopping the likely triggers and supporting liver–blood detox.
