Ayurvedic Skin Care
Skin speaks about the health is an old proverb. T o understand its truth try to recall glowing face of someone, by just watching his face you can tell how much happy and healthy he is! Skin is the largest organ of the body and gives an outlook of your inner body to the rest of the world. Skin covers the body, gives security from the ups and downs of the outer world. Along with this it also makes the Aura surround the body. What is inside one can tell just after looking at the body, just like a cover of book, which can tell you what inside the book is!
Skin is an outer most part it is true, but on the other hand it is similarly true that skin gets nourishment by the inner body, through minor capillaries. This capillary system makes it enriched with blood. That is why this is a common way to give medication to the body through applying some medicines and putting some patches on the skin, right from ancient times.
Whenever it comes to the nourishment of the skin we people only think that top apply something on the skin is enough, for skin's betterment!! It is not so. While skin is getting its nutrition fro the rest of the body, one needs to provide that particular range of nutrition for the skin through the foods and herbs. So if you want to do a complete care for your skin, do it from both the sides. If you feel that applying some cream on the skin is enough for your skin, you are going on a wrong side. Cream makes a layer on the skin, which protects it from the external world for a small time (try to recall the label of your sun-screen lotion, it does has a time limit, but alas not the sun and wind outside?). Along with this these creams seem to be absorbed in the skin as these changes into a very-very thin layer, confusing you that it has been absorbed. While making a film these creams closes the outlets of the skin causing different diseases!
Ayurveda has found the particular way to nurture your skin 5000 years back. It has two parts. First, provide proper nutrition to your skin by using proper diet and herbs and if you want to care your skin properly, apply only oil. As Oil and Ghee (Indian purified butter) are the only two things which get absorbed in the skin very easily. Herbs and diet for the better and glowing skin are as follows- | |
