Ayurvedic Remedies, Medicines for Skin Glow, Complexion

Having a clean, lustrous and attractive skin is the dream of many people and aim of many youngsters. But, hereditary factors, pollutants, hormones have their say in this matter. People are more dependent on the cosmetics, most of which are more hazardous than helpful. Many contain allergic ingredients and others carcinogenic. So, there is an immediate need of safe and effective, natural herbal complexion enhancers.

Are soaps and shampoos really needed? A Reader's words of experience

Skin and Pitta –
Skin, blood and Pitta are inter-related. Many of the blood vitiation disorders are exhibited as skin disorders. Impaired Pitta (increase / decrease) causes vitiation of blood tissue, leading to skin disorders.
We have learnt that there are five types of Pitta.Among them, Bhrajaka Pitta controls skin quality and complexion. Bhrajaka Pitta balancing is required to maintain lustrous healthy skin.

Ayurveda emphasizes the utility of various complexion enhancers (Kanti Vardhaka). Kanti means luster/complexion and Vardhaka means enhancer / promoter.

Ayurveda refers another set of medicaments – Blood soothers – Rakta Prasadaka herbs. Rakta means blood and Prasadakara means soothers.

Blood detoxifiers (Rakta Shodhaka) – Blood soothers (Rakta Prasadaka) and complexion enhancers (Kanti Vardhaka) inter-relation:
Complexion enhancers are directly linked with the effects of blood cleansers or blood purifiers. So, before proceeding to the Kantivardhaka drugs, it will be essential to consume the blood cleansers (Rakta Shodhaka) or blood soothers (Rakta Prasadaka) herbs.

Blood cleanser and soother herbs are usually bitter or astringent (Tikta-Kashaya) in taste, light-cold-soft and slow (Laghu-Sheeta-Mridu and Manda) in quality. Opposite to these are blood vitiators with spicy, oily salty and deep penetrating corrosive and irritant quality substances.

So, as a first step towards having a beautiful skin, you need to get rid of the skin disease.
Thereafter, the Kantivardhaka – complexion enhancers can be prescribed.

Urine To Beat Acne? And Other Health Benefits Of Wee

Urine could be the latest beauty and health elixir, as it turns out it has some unexpected healing powers

How about a lovely cup of wee with your breakfast this morning?

If you don't fancy it, obviously you're not alone, but for some urine holds the key to wellbeing, from topically drying out spots to boosting your immune system.The idea is sweeping the web after an article in the Telegraph revealed the beauty benefits our supposed waste-product could offer us.

Drinking your own wee is known as 'Urophagia' and is actually practised around the world for various reasons. In some countries it's ceremonial, in others it's commonly used as a traditional method of healthcare and in the west it's more a form of alternative medicine.

Skincare

Anything that dries spots out can help heal them more quickly, but apparently urine is even more effective than standard home-made treatments such as aspirin and even Sudocrem. Just dip in a cotton pad and dab on the spots.

You can even mix a little with your moisturiser for healthy glowing skin.

In fact, urea, one of the main 'ingredients' of urine is already used in many face creams and cosmetic products.

But if you really want to glow from the inside out, you need to ingest a little wee wee, apparently.

Other Health Uses For Urine

It's not just a few hippies who are behind the idea of urine as a health elixir, though. An entire book written about 'your own perfect medicine' (and it's not the only one). And over the years we've had some great news items about people who drink pints of the stuff for health, for youth and for beauty. (And we haven't even touched on watersports.)

But what else is it supposed to benefit?

Urine is actually 95 per cent water but also contains antibodies, enzymes and vitamins and minerals, as well as urea. It's antifungal and antibacterial (hence why it's good for spots) and some believe that the products found in it are more accessible for the body because they've already been processed once.

And according to some serious advocates at Extreme Health Radio (which we're pretty sure is not medically associated), it can improve: "Arthritis, Cancer, Hepatitis, Multiple Sclerosis, Eczema, Psoriasis, Diabetes, Herpes and adrenal failure."

And On The Flipside?

Not everyone agrees that drinking urine is a good idea though. Some medical experts have insisted that it can cause infection and the US army makes it clear that it is not a primary survival suggestion in times of low liquids.

And we've all heard that it's good to pee on jellyfish stings, right? Well actually it's not - salt water and vinegar are both better so you can avoid doing a Monica.

But perhaps the main reason to avoid the urine cure is the ick factor. Sipping a cup of your own pee? Doesn't really appeal does it? We'll probably stick to the green juice, thanks.
