Hair Care:
Traditionally, beautiful hair has long been associated with health and well-being. According to Ayurveda, hair is considered a secondary vital tissue closely linked to both bone marrow and the central nervous system. Ayurvedic herbs and oil treatments do not only produce healthy lustrous hair, but can also bring peace of mind. According to this ancient system of medicine, long luxuriant hair functions as a type of energetic antennae to harness subtle energies of the body, control the senses and prepare the mind for meditation.
The Ayurvedic herb bhringaraj, known as the “lord of hair” has been used since ancient times to rejuvenate hair and skin. Bhringaraj helps to calm and cool down pitta dosha, strengthening resistance to stress. Premature hair loss and graying is considered a pitta imbalance. Bhringaraj is a rejuvenative for liver and kidneys. It cleanses impurities, improves complexion of the skin and restores color and luster to the hair.
Brahmi, also known as gotu kola, is another powerful herb that helps balance the mind while nourishing hair and scalp. The Banyan Botanicals’ formula Healthy Hair synergistically blends these two certified organic botanicals with amalaki, a detoxifying herb to help cleanse excess pitta from the body. Follow a recommended dosage of one to three tablets once or twice daily or as directed by your ayurvedic practitioner to promote a healthy head of hair.
Treat the scalp topically with a warm oil massage with Bhringaraj and Brahmi oils. Both are good herbal food for the scalp. Bhringaraj, in a sesame oil base, is balancing for all doshas. Brahmi, in a coconut oil base, is particularly cooling for the pitta mind and enhances peaceful meditation. Apply oil to the head and gently massage into the scalp with the pads of the fingertips. Let the oil penetrate for one hour or leave on overnight to help promote sound sleep. Wash out in the morning. The oil massage helps to improve circulation throughout the scalp while strengthening the roots of the hair. Practice this nourishing scalp massage one to three times per week.
Helpful hair care tips:
Include a diet rich in calcium and iron including green leafy vegetables, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, carrots, beets, tahini, milk, fresh yogurt, coconut and sweet, juicy seasonal organic fruits.
Cook with spices of cumin, black pepper, and turmeric to provide nourishment to the hair. Sauté 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon of each spice in one teaspoon of ghee or sesame oil and add to cooked vegetables or soups. Dry roasted cumin and freshly ground black pepper can be sprinkled over fresh yogurt.
Wash hair every other day. Washing every day can strip hair of its protective oils and over time can lead to dry, split vata hair.
Avoid shampoos that contain harsh chemicals. Choose gentle, natural shampoos and conditioners that contain nourishing botanicals such as amalaki, shikai and aloe.
Always condition the hair after shampooing to help seal the hair cuticle, keeping moisture in while protecting from the elements.
Protect from excessive exposure to sunlight.
Choose herbal/vegetable based dyes to enhance hair color.
Avoid heat styling. Let your hair dry naturally, if you can, and then brush into place.
Brush hair regularly in all directions using smooth long strokes from scalp to hair ends.
Practice relaxation techniques such as yoga and meditation. Stress can be detrimental to hair and overall health.
Get adequate, restful sleep each night to allow the body essential time to renew and rejuvenate.
These simple ayurvedic recommendations help to beautify and promote hair health beginning from the inside, working out. Nourishing your hair and scalp through diet, ayurvedic herbs and oils can not only produce healthy lustrous hair, but can also calm the mind, balance the nervous system and strengthen your meditation practice.
Skin Care:
Skin Structure and Care
The skin is the largest and most intriguing organ of the body. It is essentially a covering, but it does much more than hold us together. Unbroken skin is impervious to air, water, dust and bacteria, and so we are protected from all of these. It also eliminates waste matter and maintains and regulate body temperature. The skin is a reflection of our state of internal health and our emotions. The thickness and sensitivity of the skin varies according to the part of the body it covers and function that part is expected to perform.
Example: The soles, palms and scalp are thick. The skin on the face and lips is thin, sensitive and mobile.
Generally speaking the skin has two layers: Epidermis – outer layer and the dermis which is the inner layer. In ayurvedic terms there are seven layers known as dhatus. The innermost being plasma and the outermost being mamsa. Between these layers or dhatus are srotas, which are channels. There is a complex layer of nerves, blood vessels, oil glands, sweat glands, hair follicles, sensory cells and nerve endings.
Sensations of heat, cold, pressure, pain is conveyed by the sensory cells/nerve endings. The epidermis or top layer is made up of several rows of living cells, covered with a horny layer of dead cells. These are constantly being shed and replaced by cells from the deeper layers. True skin is the dermis where living tissue exists. The dermal layer is supplied with nutrients from the blood stream. The dermis contains supporting tissue, which gives the skin its resilience and tone. It also contains the sweat and oil glands. The surface ends of the oil glands form the pores of the skin. They secrete sebum, an oily, slightly acid film, which is deposited on the surface of the skin. This helps to lubricate the skin, while its acid content resists bacterial attacks and keeps the skin in a healthy condition.
The sweat glands help to eliminate wastes and regulate body temperature. A network of capillaries supply oxygen and nutrients to the skin and lymphatic vessels drain away waste products. The hair root lies behind the skin. In the basal layer of the epidermis are cells which produce a pigment called melanin. This determines the colour of the skin. Melanin protects the skin from the sun’s rays by acting as a natural sunscreen. The amount of pigment in the skin increases when there is exposure to sunlight, as a protective response.
Naturally , our skin is very capable of looking after itself, however, there are internal and external factors that give rise to imbalances e.g. when the oil glands are overactive, the skin becomes oil or when they are underactive, the result will be dry skin.
Ayurvedic skin and hair care is about giving the skin and scalp its natural balance. If you want to have beautiful skin most of your life, here are a few suggestions:
Cleanse your skin twice a day
Have an ayurvedic facial regularly after the age of 27 years
Avoid the sun Avoid smoking
Sleep before 10pm
Awake at 6am
Drink a glass of warm water with lemon and honey on awaking
Use a face mask weekly
Exercise regularly
Detox your system once a week with this brew:
You will need: one whole lemon, 1 inch square of ginger, 11/2 litres of water
Squeeze juice of one lemon into 11/2 litres of water. Add the grated ginger to the lemon and water. Boil. Drink the liquid at intervals of no more than 10 minutes – you should have drunk all the juice within two hours as warm as possible.

Acne Information
Caused by the over-activity of sebaceous glands. They are more numerous sebaceous glands on the face which give rise to eruptions and disturbances when they are overactive, causing acne.
With the over secretion of oil in the sebaceous duct, the excess oil enters the oil sac, which expands to retain the oil. When the pores cannot hold anymore, the excess oil oozes out, enlarging the pores in the process.
The first result is a blackhead which is like a solid plug. When the tip is exposed to air, it oxidises and turns dark – this is a blackhead. Neglected blackheads will irritate surrounding tissues, resulting in inflammation, which is setting the scene for pimples and acne. Acne includes, whiteheads, blackheads, pustules and cysts. Acne Vulgaris is a violent form of acne.
If Acne is not controlled in the early stages it can become a chronic condition. However, it can be treated. In chronic conditions, it is advisable to take medication internally as well as treat externally to expedite the process.
Stretch Marks and Cellulite Information
Stretch Marks are caused by overstretching of the skin, destroying its elasticity and resilience. Often they develop when weight loss follows weight gain, that is why stretch marks are so common post pregnancy. They are caused by the cracks in the elastic surface below, and are not on the surface.
It is difficult to totally get rid of stretch marks after they have formed, therefore preventative care is best. Extracts of turmeric, lemon, and bael fruit have been time tested. The Turmeric Cellulite cream is highly recommended.
