Age is a fact of life – Looking your age is not !

Beauty is the desire of every individual to give pleasure to the sense. Beauty is not always related to women rather men are more beauty consciousness as the evolution shows male animals are more beautiful. Some are beauty by birth and some are want to become beautiful . The concept of using herbs for beautification is well defined in Ayurveda. The cosmetic preparations are used for worship and for sensual enjoyment in India since vedic period.

According to the Drugs and Cosmetics Act (India) 1940 cosmetics may be defined as, any substance intended to be rubbed, poured, sprinkled, or otherwise applied to human being for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness. According to Ayurveda happiness, gloom, sadness and relaxation are the aspects that are reflected by the face and by the body and can’t be disguised with cosmetics. In other words, Ayurveda emphasizes on external and internal beauty. It is believed in Ayurveda that one can enhance internal beauty by understanding and following the basic principle of Ayurveda.

As Ayurveda relates to every aspect of the mind, body and the soul, it considers beauty as an intimate part of the human personality. To serve the purpose of fast natural beauty a faster and deeper cleansing and re-balancing is accomplished by using Ayurveda’s traditional rejuvenation therapy.

You are what you eat. Ayurveda takes this notion very seriously. In fact, it goes a step further to say “You are what you digest.” A radiant, clear complexion begins with proper nutrition, efficient digestion and assimilation of nutrients by the body, and regular elimination. It’s all about diet. There are simple ayurvedic principles you can follow, even if you are a newcomer to the system.

Some of the Council of Maharishi Ayurveda Physicians tips on diet and digestion

  • Eat your largest meal at mid-day. Your digestive fire is strongest at that time.
  • Eat to three-fourths of your capacity.
  • Focus on your food. Don’t divide your attention with TV or work.
  • Don’t drink ice-cold beverages. They dampen your digestive fire.
  • Try to include several different tastes at each meal — sweet, salty, sour, bitter, pungent and astringent.
  • Don’t skip meals.
  • Include lots of sweet, juicy fruits and green, leafy vegetables in your diet.
  • Sip warm water through the day to help flush toxins from the body.

“Because we cannot scrub our inner body we need to learn a few skills to help
cleanse our tissues, organs, and mind. This is the art of Ayurveda.”
