Facial hair can definitely be a tough thing to deal with, and I feel you, the pain from waxing and threading can be a real bother. Ayurveda offers some alternatives, which could help to reduce facial hair gradually, but it often revolves around treating imbalances in the body that might be causing the hair growth in the first place.
You mentioned turmeric — it’s a great start! Turmeric has properties that not only help with inflammation but also can gradually reduce hair growth. You might have heard about using a paste made from turmeric and chickpea flour (besan). Mix them with water or milk to form a paste and apply it where you have the hair problem. Leave it on till it dries and then scrub off. Keep it up consistently, like 2-3 times a week, and it might help decrease hair growth over time.
On to Kanchanar Guggulu, it’s known for balancing hormones which could be a factor in facial hair growth, especially in areas like the chin and upper lip. You could consider taking it, but I’d recommend consulting an Ayurvedic doctor to make sure it’s right for you as per your dosha (body type) and balances what’s currently off in your system.
Ayurvedic treatment can take time, sometimes a few months, but the results could be lasting if you stay committed. And don’t forget about spearmint tea, some women have found it helps with reducing androgen levels.
As for side effects, cause you have sensitive skin, be cautious with anything new on your skin. Maybe test a small area first to see how it reacts. Stay on top of your diet too. Favor fresh fruits, veggies, and avoid processed or sugary foods, sticking to what helps in balancing your hormones naturally.
All this said, Ayurvedic approaches can be slower, but importantly, they’re usually gentle and sustainable. Just make sure to maintain patience and have realistic expectations as these methods often work better over time rather than immediate effects. Alright, take care and hope you find relief soon!
