Skin Health
Skin problems can be very distressing. Ayurveda offers some wonderful advice for promoting the health and beauty of the skin.

Skin inflammations arise when the body is unable to release metabolised toxins through the normal routes of the urine and bowels. The liver and kidneys may not be detoxifying wastes properly and the ‘stress’ finds a way out through the easiest route, often the skin. Ayurveda recommends using herbs and foods that help to clean the blood, cool any heat and hence stop the uncomfortable itching and swellings.

Causes of skin problems include poor digestion, bad diet, excess stress, allergic reactions, environmental toxins and can also be inherited from ones family.

Common symptoms:
• Itching
• Inflammation
• Weeping
• Scaling
• Pustules
• Infected skin
• Sleeplessness

It's particularly good for women's health and tonifies the reproductive system. It has cooling properties to help alleviate menopausal symptoms and also works well to support gentle detoxification of the liver.
