What Is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda is the traditional, natural medical practice that has its roots in India for more than 3,000 years. Now people from worldwide have come to know about ayurvedic medicine and more and more people are turning towards the amazing cures and profound healing. The word Ayurveda means “Knowledge of Life”. The foundation of the system is the idea that the three main doshas or life energies, constitute the body, and these are composed of 5 elements. Each person has a unique dosha constitution that determines how they are physically, mentally and emotionally. Whenever there is an imbalance in the natural constitution of ones doshas, diseases occur. This could be caused due to lifestyle, diet, physical or emotional trauma, pollution, external challenges etc.

 

Ayurvedic treatments for restoring health and balance employ purification, herbal remedies, nutrition, yoga, meditation, and body work. The main goals are

  • Expel toxins from body
  • Regain and maintain structural and functional balance 
  • Increase efficiency and immunity

Ayurveda in Skin Care

Ayurvedic fundamental concepts consider dosha balance, circulation, immune status and metabolism as most influential in skin health.

 

Dosha:- The three basic doshas are Kapha, pitta, and Vata. These doshas may vary in dominance throughout your life, due to changes in lifestyle, diet, stress, pollution and many other factors. This has major impact on your body and mind. However the changes may be most noticeable in your skin as it is the part of body that is most visible to us. Typical signs of dosha dominance in skin are:

Vata: ages quickly, often have dry skin and cracks

Pitta: fair and sensitive, prone to moles, freckles and acne, quick ageing.

Kapha: clear, smooth and firm, ages slowly, normal or oily

 

Metabolism:- Your body’s digestive fire, or Agni, converts food into energy and regulates all of your body’s hormonal and chemical processes, including those that affect your skin. A healthy metabolism is necessary for healthy skin.

 

Circulation:- Good oxygen and nutrient circulation as well as impurity removal are essential for healthy skin. Ama is the name for a buildup of metabolic wastes that can clog the skin and cause issues.

 

Immunity:- Skin that is healthy and clear is a sign of an efficient immune system that is dealing with the numerous external and internal challenges efficiently
