Why Does Hyperpigmentation Happen — And What Can We Do Daily?

By Sini KumarKaya Guru Verified

Hyperpigmentation shows up for so many of us — but is it mostly a Pitta imbalance, genetics, or a mix of both? And what’s one simple daily habit that actually helps control or prevent it from coming back?

Hyperpigmentation is a condition where your pitta dosha along with the Rakta dhatu gets vitiated. It can happen due to a lot of reasons including Hormonal Imbalance, stress or even as an after effect of any infection or inflammation inside the body. Correcting the rakta dhatu with internal medications along with pitta pacifying diet definitely helps. Abhyangam (oil application) is a proven method to regulate the blood flow to the particular area of the skin as well.
