Melasma is caused by a combination of causes including sun exposure, genetic predisposition, and may be due to an imbalance in the female hormones – estrogen and progesterone. Pregnancy, Oral contraceptives, Hormone replacement therapy are commonly affected.

The Melasma which typically appear during pregnancy (disappears after delivery) often called “mask of pregnancy”. Melasma appear as patches of tan or brownish pigmentation on the cheeks and around eye area. They are just skin deep and do not possess any other health risks.

Treatment options are available to reduce its appearance. The best way to guard against developing more dark patches is thorough sun protection. Get into the habit of wearing sunscreen every day, including days you spend most of your time inside.

Melasma-Ayurveda Perspective and view

Ancient Ayurveda literatures mention this condition as Vyanga which is due to an imbalance of Pitha (Bhajaka & Ranjaka Pitta has functions of skin color & complexion) and Vata imbalance (Udana Vata).

Mainly two types of the therapies are advised for the disease - Vyanga as Shodhana therapy (Vamana, Virechana, Nasya, Raktamokshana etc) and Samana therapy (internal medicines and external application of drugs). Prakshalan (face wash), Swedana (fomentation), Abhyanga  (face massage), Lepana (face pack), Udvartana (facial scrubs), and Gharshana (facial peels) are the suggested therapies from these ancient books.

 

  • Try a face pack with Sandalwood (both Red & White) / Manjishta (Rubia cordifolia) / Sariba (Hemidesmus indicus) / Useera (Vetiveria zizanioides) / Vacha (Acorus calamus) / Turmeric / Lotus flower in combination or as single herb.
  • Apply Kunkumadi thailam on your face after washing off the face pack
  • Put 2-3 drops of Kunkumadi thailam in each nostrils
  • Take medicines like Manjishatadi kashayam, Saribadyasavam etc on a doctor prescription
