Hirsutism is a condition of unwanted, male-pattern hair growth in women. Hirsutism results in excessive amounts of stiff and pigmented hair on body areas where men typically grow hair - face, chest and back.

The amount of body hair you have is largely determined by your genetic makeup. Hirsutism may arise from excess male hormones called androgens, primarily testosterone. Hirsutism may also be due to a family trait. A combination of self-care and medical therapies provides effective treatment for many women with hirsutism.

Symptoms
Hirsutism is stiff and pigmented body hair, appearing on the body where women don't commonly have hair - primarily the face, chest and back. When excessively high androgen levels cause hirsutism, other signs may develop over time, a process called virilization. Signs of virilization may include:
-- Deepening voice
-- Balding
-- Acne
-- Decrease in breast size
-- Enlargement of the clitoris

Home Remedies for Hirsutism
1.Homemade Sugar Wax for Hirsutism
This is a super easy and effective home remedy to get rid of unwanted facial hair.
Mix two teaspoons of granulated sugar (brown or white) and one teaspoon each of honey and water.
Heat the mixture in a microwave or on a stove for about half a minute until it bubbles and turns brown. Allow it to cool.
Using a spatula, apply it on the areas where you want to remove the hair.
Place a cloth strip over the sugar wax and smooth it out with your fingers in the direction of the hair growth.
Finally, rip it off in the opposite direction of hair growth.
Repeat as needed.

2. Chickpea Flour for Hirsutism
A chickpea flour face pack will help exfoliate your skin to remove dead skin and hair. Plus, it can lighten the color of your skin and facial hair. You can get chickpea flour, also known as gram flour or besan, from an Indian market or health food store.

Mix together two tablespoons of chickpea flour, one tablespoon of milk cream, one and one-half teaspoon of milk, and three-quarter teaspoons of turmeric. Apply this thick paste on your face and leave it on for 20 minutes or until it dries. Scrub it off using a facial loofah pad or simply a soft cloth dipped in lukewarm water. Do this at least three or four times a week for about a month.
Alternatively, mix one tablespoon of chickpea flour, one-half teaspoon of plain yogurt, and one-quarter teaspoon of turmeric. You can also add one-half teaspoon of rose water. Spread it on your face and leave it on for 20 minutes before scrubbing it off.
Another remedy involves mixing two tablespoons of chickpea flour, one-quarter teaspoon of turmeric and enough milk (about ? teaspoon) to make a thick, smooth paste.

3.Lemon Juice and Honey for Hirsutism
Being sticky in nature, a lemon juice and honey mask can help remove fine hair from your face. The lemon juice works as a cleansing and exfoliating agent and the honey helps soften the hair due to its hydrating and moisturizing properties.

Moreover, being an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, it will help avoid skin irritation and breakout. Because of its bleaching quality, lemon juice will also help lighten your facial skin and hair.

Mix one tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and four tablespoons of honey.
Apply it on your face and leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes.
Gently remove the mask with a washcloth soaked in lukewarm water.
Do this at least twice a week for a few months.

4.Spearmint Tea for Hirsutism
Excess hair growth is often attributed to excessive production of androgen in the body. Spearmint tea can help regulate hormone levels.

A study conducted by Turkish researchers indicates that spearmint tea can help women with hirsutism. The study subjects were given herbal spearmint tea twice a day for five days in the follicular phase of their menstrual cycles. The follicular phase begins on the first day of your cycle and lasts about 14 days.
