Skin Care
According to Ayurveda, all the activities of the mind and body are governed by three psycho physiological energies known as Vata, Pitta and Kapha. When these three principles within us are in perfect balance, we enjoy good health. Blemishes, eruptions, patches and sallow skin are often related to inappropriate diet or lifestyle choices that lead to accumulation of dietary toxins, called ama in Ayurveda. Following a skin-friendly diet, making sure your digestion-absorption-elimination cycle is efficient and supplementing with skin-friendly herbs help your skin looks clear, radiant, healthy and youthful. In general, opt for foods that are appropriate for your constitution and the season. Eat lighter meals, space out your timing of meals so that one meal is digested before you introduce another into your system, and choose whole fresh foods.
Following are some common skin problems and ayurvedic remedy for preventing and curing the same.
Acne and Pimples :
The aggravation of tridosha or the three energies of the body results in the occurrence of acne, pimples and blackheads. This occurs due to the excessive intake of alcohol, tea, coffee, spicy, oily and fried foods.
Stress, tension, pollution and chemicals are also among the major causes that aggravate Pitta dosha and result in acne, boils, pimples and rashes.
Remedies :
A paste made from one teaspoon each of sandalwood powder and turmeric mixed with milk, is very good. A paste of nutmeg and water is also beneficial.
Half a cup of Aloe Vera pulp can be internally taken (Do not take internally if pregnant) or applied externally to the skin.
Dosage : Twice a day.
Before going to bed, one must wash the face thoroughly and then apply a paste of 1 Tsp. coriander juice mixed with a pinch of turmeric powder.
For pimples, apply a paste made from one teaspoon of cumin seeds. A minimum of 1 hr it should be left applied.
A paste of fresh fenugreek leaves, applied and washed off with warm water before going to bed prevents pimples.
Pigmentation:
Imbalance of Bhrajaka Pitta in comparison to melanin causes blackening, pigmentation and discoloration of skin. Excessive exposure to the sun, sleeping habits, irregular eating, and consumption of foods and drinks are the major causes of it.
Remedies
Grind five almonds and mix with 1 teaspoon of fresh cream and a few drops of lemon juice. Apply this paste to the face and neck. Leave on for about fifteen minutes.
Apply papaya juice, or mashed papaya, to the affected areas.
Grind equal amounts of sesame seeds and turmeric in a small quantity of water and apply to the face or discolored skin.
Make a paste from basil (tulsi) leaves and water to use on the affected skin.
Premature Aging
Premature aging can be prevented from coming too early but can’t be cured as such.
It's a natural ongoing process and beyond human limit to control it.
Aging causes dryness and wrinkling of the skin. Several factors such as excessive thinking, stress, tension, over work, strain, irregular sleeping and eating habits and cold or dry foods enhance aging. Foods containing artificial flavors, colors, preservatives and chemicals also aggravate the Vata dosha which rapidly develops aging.
Remedies
Massage the face with ghee, almond oil or coconut oil before going to bed.
Use grated cucumber in a face pack.
Apply fresh aloe Vera gel to the skin.
Hair Care
Like your skin, your hair requires nutrition from the inside out. The structure of hair is like the scales on the skin of a fish that has overlapping scales around a central core called the cortical. Smoother overlapping more shiny and smooth the hair looks. This leads to easy combing while a tangled or roughed-up structure makes the hair look rough and dull.
Good diet and lifestyle are two major factors that influence healthy hair. Poor diet, illness and deficiencies of any particular vitamin and mineral affects the quality of hair and problems like dandruff, thinning hair, balding, premature graying etc. spoils and gives loss of hair

Dashamoola 5 parts
Bhringaraj 4 parts

Nail Care
The condition of nails reflect the quality of tissue production in the body as nails are considered to be the waste product of bones (asthi dhatu) Healthy nails are pink, smooth and evenly shaped.
The root cause of nail disorders like splitting and flaky nails, white spots, vertical ridges or discoloration of the nail bed is a sign of improper diet. Vata type nails are irregular in shape, pale, rough and brittle and bitten. A person with Pitta as the predominant dosha has oval, soft, strong and flexible nails while Kapha type nails are square, thick, large and very white.
Here are a few tips on nail care.
To harden soft nails soak them in warm olive oil for about 20 minutes on alternate days.
For strong nails soak them in a mixture of horsetail.
To remove stains from your nails, mix one tablespoon of lemon juice in a cup of water and soak your nails in this liquid for a few minutes.
It is not a good idea to remove the cuticles from your nail, as it will make the nail susceptible to infection.
If you use nail polish then do not use acetone polish removers.
When you wear nail polish, give your nails a break from time to time. Leave them without polish for a few days.
For natural nail polish rub petroleum jelly on your nails then buff with a soft cloth.
Foot Care
In the complete human body feet are considered to be the mist strained and worked out part, but inspite of this are the most neglected one also. Lack of proper care of feet, result many problems like corns and bunions, cracks, infections and ingrown nails.
Some Useful Tips:
During your pre-bath Ayurvedic massage (abhy anga), pay special attention to your feet. Massage the feet, each toe, the ankles, the heels and the soles in turn with the warm oil, gently stretching the feet and toes as you massage them and using circular motions around your ankles and heels.
During your bath or shower, let your feet enjoy warm water for a few minutes, then cleanse with a gentle, non-irritating cleanser and a foot brush or washcloth, working between the toes and scrubbing the heels to slough off dead skin. A recommendation of a neem based cleanser to help rid feet of odor or bacteria.
Once a week, apply a natural exfoliating mixture on your feet, especially on the heels and soles, when you cleanse, to remove hardened dead skin.
Follow basic rules of comfort. Wear footwear that fits properly and is roomy enough so that no part of your foot feels pinched. Do not wear high heels except when you absolutely have to. Replace shoes before they wear out or become lopsided with use. Wear cotton socks indoors to protect your feet from the cold. When the temperature is comfortable and you are indoors, walk barefoot occasionally to allow your feet to breathe.
Every night foot and lower leg massage not only relaxes the feet, it also helps promote restful sleep.
Eye Care
Among the five sensory organs, eyes are the most beautiful expressive organs we have that also have the capability of vision. Kapha eyes are usually large and clear with thick lashes. Pitta eyes are sharp, penetrating and sensitive and are prone to itchiness or redness. Vata eyes are rather small, nervous and dry.
To prevent eye from damage, its care is very necessary. It is best to avoid poor light when reading or using computers or watching television for long hours. Very intense light or using very hot or very cold water on the face and head is also not healthy for the eyes.
Some Useful Tips:
Go for the best quality contact lenses
Not all contact lenses are equal. Some are safe for you, while others put you at risk of damaging your eyes.
In summer, always wear sunglasses
It is proven that UV rays can seriously damage your eyes, but good sunglasses can prevent this damage. When buying sunglasses, make sure that they block at least 98% of UV radiation. By the way, did you know that you need sunglasses on cloudy days as well? Clouds might provide shade, but they are no barrier for UV light. Clouds are basically water, and water is UV-transparent.
Finally, remember that you would need sunglasses even if your contact lenses offer UV protection. Even a very high quality lens can only protect the area it covers, but the entire surface of your eye needs protection.
Eat what is good for you and your eyes
Vitamins C, A and E, folic acid, selenium and zinc are definitely beneficial for the health of your eyes.
When you read or work on the computer make sure that the light is right
It is a common knowledge that working with poor light can cause eyestrain, but light that is too bright can do as much damage.
Keep your blinds down on sunny days and switch off half of the household lights, if possible. The best lighting for working on the computer is a soft desk light, coming from the side. Also, you can try decreasing the brightness of your monitor. The colors won\'t be so vivid, but your eyes will feel much better by the end of the day
Give your eyes a health break
People blink about 25% less often than usual, while working at the computer, which causes eye dryness. One thing you can do, though, is close your eyes and count to 5 before opening them, whenever your computer decides to take its sweet time doing something. Another thing is to look away from the screen and focus on some faraway object, as often as possible.
Mouth Care
It is said that a clean mouth is a healthy mouth. Pleasant breath, clean teeth and healthy gums all contribute to a beautiful smile. Bad breath is usually a sign of poor digestion, which is why cleaning the teeth or using mouth gargles only relieves the problem temporarily. To permanently eliminate bad breath the eating habits or diet should be monitored. Fasting for a day, and then adopting a light, easily digestible diet can eliminate this problem.
Consuming aloe Vera gel, or ginger and lemon juice, also helps improve digestion. Rinsing the mouth with a decoction of mint, or chewing parsley or basil leaves can improve breath.
Teeth
Healthy teeth are white, evenly spaced, level and clean. Unhealthy teeth are discolored, uneven, and are present in greater or less than the normal number.
Teeth problems occur due to poor diet or bad eating habits, tobacco, tea, coffee, sweet and sticky foods (sweets, chocolates, raisins) and very cold or hot food can lead to discoloration or decay. Ayurveda emphasizes on cleaning the teeth twice daily, in the morning and evening.
After eating it is necessary to rinse and gargle to remove food particles that may be stuck between teeth. Eating hard, crunchy fruits and vegetables (Apples, carrots) is good for the teeth. For discolored teeth salt mixed with lime or lemon juice to brush the teeth. To ease toothache, apply a couple of drops of cinnamon or clove oil to the base of the aching tooth.
Gums
Healthy gums are red, regular, compact and hard while unhealthy gums are spongy, dark red or very pale and may bleed.
Citrus fruits (oranges, grapefruit, lemon, lime), guavas or pomegranates should be included in the diet to ensure healthy gums as these fruits contain large quantities of vitamin C. Massaging the gums daily with a mixture of salt, black pepper, turmeric and sesame oil is also beneficial.
Tongue
The internal conditions of the digestive system is reflected by the tongue. According to ayurveda the condition of coating on the tongue determines physical disorders that may be present while a mucus like coating on the tongue demonstrates the presence of Ama (a toxic byproduct of poor digestion or improper eating habits).
