In this fast moving world, we often
find it difficult to stand back and take good care of ourselves.
However, we are obsessed with the idea of looking good. Ancient
ayurveda, one of the oldest disciplines of medication, tells
us that we can have good-looking skin only if our insides are
pure and free from any kind of impurities. Thus, before you start
external polishing, take an inward look, and go for ayurvedic
skin care.
The blemishes,
pimples, eruptions, or spots on your skin that irritate you are
merely a result of certain lifestyle or diet disorders. If you
can go for a skin friendly diet, you can ensure that you have
great and healthy skin.
Always
try to have food that is good for your body. Have meals that
are light and healthy. Go for fruits and vegetables that make
your insides clean and healthy. If you follow a healthy diet
for some time, you will see the results yourself. The result
will be healthy skin that looks young and fresh.
Given below are certain dietary tips that will
help you get healthier skin:

1. For ayurvedic
skin care, begin your day with a mug of hot water that has the
juice of half a lemon. Lemon is very good for the skin and since
it is anti bacterial, it helps your body to flush out the toxins
and keep your body clean from within. In case you have very oily
skin, you can go for another glass of lemon water later in the
day. Those who have regularity problems can start the day with
raisins that have been soaked in water overnight.
2. Herb tea is another thing that forms an important
part of ayurvedic skin care. You can go for fennel, mint, aniseed,
cardamom, rosehips or cinnamon tea about twice or thrice a day.
The herbs that are very good for cleansing include neem, turmeric,
Sarsaparilla, marshmallow root, and Indian madder. All these
herbs are great for your body because they purify the blood and
clean the toxins in your body.
3.
Raw salads are also great for your health but you can reap the
maximum benefit of eating raw food only when you have a strong
digestive system. In case your system is not very strong, you
will not be able to digest the raw food. For ayurvedic skin care,
you need to consume vegetables that have high water content.
Carrot, lettuce, daikon radish and tender asparagus are vegetables
that are very good for your health and your skin. In Ayurvedic
jargon, these vegetables are called tridoshic, which means that
they are suitable for individuals with any kind of skin.
Another group of vegetables that
is very good for your skin. These are cruciferous vegetables.
However, you must have these vegetables only after you steam
them because they are slightly difficult to digest. If you have
vatta skin, avoid these vegetables. But if you have Pitta or
Kapha skin, have steamed broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, and
Brussels sprouts.
For complete
ayurvedic skin care, avoid bad fats and oily food. For those
who have dry skin, consumption of ghee is prescribed. If you
follow these diet tips for ayurvedic skin care, you will see
the difference in a few days when you get healthier skin. |
