How to balance extreme dryness in skin due to vata imbalance and pranayama? - #54606
Namaskaram, About 4 months ago, a vata imbalance arose that mainly caused drought, cold, and constipation. I suspect because of a lot of pranayama. Warm, moisture-rich meals, hot drinks, and triphala make things better. Yet I now have extreme dryness in the face, hands, and feet, and sometimes dry bowel movements. Which is special since I am pitta dominant by birth. I also use castor oil in the navel before bed. In addition, mahamash oil over the pelvis and lower back area to support an injury and aroghavardhini vati & punarnavadi mandoor as a blood/liver/digestion improver. My question: how do I get the extreme dryness in balance on the skin? Thank you, Michèle
