Ayurveda And Healthy Skin

Ayurvedic doctors evaluate a person’s skin as an indicator of good health. When a person is in good health and has the three Doshas in optimal balance, the skin looks fresh and glowing. Dosha imbalances are clearly recognised by examining the nature and condition of skin issues. 

Vata is an airy and drying Dosha. Vata skin problems make the dry and thin skin get more susceptible to problems like wrinkles and signs of ageing. Pitta Dosha is heaty. Pitta Dosha imbalances cause inflammation of the skin such as acne and reddish blemishes. Kapha is heavy and oily. Kapha imbalance causes very oily skin that is also pale and moist. 

Ama is a metabolic waste that is formed when the digestive process in the body is inefficient. Ama is formed due to an unhealthy lifestyle, lack of a balanced diet. Ama can also add to the skin problems and dim the healthy glow. Overall good health is the key to skin health as well.  

A healthy lifestyle with exercise and a balanced diet that does not aggravate the Doshas helps maintain healthy and glowing skin. Ayurvedic herbs to detoxify and relieve Ama also restore the skin’s glow. When the skin is treated with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant Ama relieving substances, the skin heals from blemishes and scars.
