So, are you ready to know the miraculous traditions of Ayurveda to keep your skin clear, soft, and radiant without spending a fortune or loading up on the harmful chemicals?

Why should we have a healthy skin?

The health of the skin is an important factor in Ayurveda, not only as an aesthetic element of one’s being, but more importantly as an external indicator of one’s internal health. The skin health is a reflection of what is going on inside, both physically and emotionally.

Common Factors for Skin Problems:

If you are experiencing skin issues such as acne, pigmentation, wrinkles, dark circles, blemishes, eczema, psoriasis, rash, itchiness, extreme dryness or dullness; this is a clear picture that there is an imbalance in the diet and/or lifestyle that may be a causative factor.

According to Ayurveda, there are various external and internal factors which hamper the skin, like –

• Poor Digestion
• Toxins in the system
• Blood impurities
• Excessive body heat
• Consumption of Allergic foods
• External irritants such as perfumes, detergents or chemicals
• Harsh face wash or soap (containing alcohol, dyes, perfumes or chemicals)
• Use of Tobacco, Alcohol or Drugs
• Exposure to harsh sunrays
• Pollution
• Seasonal changes
• High stress
• Insufficient sleep
• Lowered immunity
• Low water intake
• Having unhealthy foods
• Lack of exercise
• Emotional disturbances

Ayurvedic approach towards skin care:

According to Ayurveda, the skin has six layers, located not only superficially but extending to the deeper levels of the body. A skin disease is, mostly, rooted deeply into various tissues like fat, muscles, blood etc.

Most skin treatments are generally external applications like creams or oils. These, however, never reach the deeper layers of the skin. As a result, the symptoms disappear temporarily, and the disease is not rooted out permanently. Ayurveda always tries to root out the disease by treating it specifically according to its cause. As the disease is deep-seated it is difficult to fix the problem quickly. Ayurvedic skin treatments may take a few weeks to remove the symptoms but the diseases are treated permanently.

Ayurvedic medicines for skin care:

• Mahatikta ghritam
• Panchtikta ghrit guggul
• Mahamanjishthadi kwath
• Khadirarishta
• Sarivadyasava
• Bakuchi yoga
• Panchnimbadi churna
• Arogyavardhini vati
• Gandhak rasayana
• Rasamanikya

Ayurvedic herbs for skin care:

      There are countless herbs in Ayurveda which help to enhance the complexion and foster beautiful skin, like –

• Haridra
• Nimba
• Chandan
• Keshar
• Sursa
• Kumari
• Manjishtha
• Ananta
• Lodhra
• Kushtha

Just incorporating an Ayurvedic herb or extract in a cosmetic product does not make it Ayurvedic. An herb can have powerful healing properties, but used alone or in inappropriate combinations, sometimes it does more harm than good. So, kindly consult us before using any Ayurvedic medicines or herbs.

Ayurvedic treatments are good to heal any skin imperfections and can be used in conjunction with these other recommendations for more powerful results.

Ayurvedic diet plan for attractive skin -

The dietary recommendations given below will help to retard the ageing process of the skin and give you a charming look:

• Drink plenty of fresh clean water
• Have healthy, whole foods
• Eat freshly prepared, or sattvic, foods
• Savor milk, curds and butter milk
• Drink 16oz of warm-hot water with lime or honey each morning to hydrate the system, awaken the organs/digestion, flush-out unwanted toxins and promote a healthy bowel movement.
• Have cooling & hydrating foods such as coconut water, cucumber juice, coconut oil, organic ghee, lime, cilantro, parsley, watermelon, pomegranate and bitter greens such as kale, chard, collards, etc.
• Have antioxidant rich fruits and vegetables, like prunes, red raisins, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, plums, oranges, red grapes, cherries, spinach, brussels, alfalfa, broccoli flowers, beets, onions, corn, etc.

Avoid the following foods:

•       Any irritating, allergenic foods like dairy (especially milk and ice cream), soy, sugar, wheat, gluten, preservatives, additives, eggs and nuts.
•       Heating substances like peppers (all varieties but especially hot), citrus fruit (except lime), fermented foods, alcohol, fried foods, nightshades (tomato, potato, eggplant, pepper), vinegar, extremely salty foods and excessive use of pungent (hot) spices such as black pepper, dry ginger, cinnamon, fenugreek, cayenne pepper, carom seeds, etc.
•       Improper food combination creates confusion in the GI tract leading to indigestion, fermentation and toxic-build up. These toxins begin to clog the channels, causing disorder and disease. Once again, skin disorders are largely related to toxins in the system and our digestive health, therefore if you are experiencing skin issues it is essential to see if you are regularly consuming any of these lethal combinations. 

      Lifestyle recommendations for healthy skin:

• Exercise at least 3 times each week
• Have a good night sleep
• Make Yoga a regular practice
• Practice Pranayam (breathing techniques) daily for 15 min
• Meditate every day to keep stress at bay
• Avoid direct sun exposure

Color therapy with Blue water:

Fill up the drinking water in a blue colored glass bottle and place it in the sun for a couple of hours. Drink 2 -3 glasses of this blue energy infused water every day. This helps to cool down the body naturally and give a clear, radiating skin.
