Revinto Siddhartha Snana Churna is indeed aimed at improving skin conditions, but the effectiveness can vary depending on individual body constitution, or prakriti, and underlying imbalances in your doshas (vata, pitta, and kapha). The dryness of your skin might indicate a vata imbalance, as vata governs dryness and roughness of the skin. Since you’ve been using the churna for a month without seeing improvements, it could be worth reevaluating your approach.
Firstly, consider how you’re applying the churna. Ensure that you are applying it to damp skin after bathing, as this allows the herbs and oils to penetrate more effectively. Leave it on for a few minutes before rinsing it off gently, as lingering too long before rinsing might be counterproductive. Also, remember to pat your skin dry instead of rubbing, as this can exacerbate dryness.
In addition to the snana churna, try incorporating hydrating practices into your daily routine. Consider using a natural oil like sesame or coconut oil post-shower. These oils have grounding qualities and can help in locking moisture, mitigating the dryness.
You might also benefit from dietary adjustments that pacify vata. Include warm, cooked foods seasoned with ghee, and hydrate well with fluids like warm water or herbal teas containing ginger or cinnamon. Avoid drying foods such as dry snacks, caffeine, and overly processed items.
If dry skin persists, even with these changes, it would be wise to consult with a local Ayurvedic practitioner. They can provide personalized guidance and potentially uncover other contributing factors or imbalances. Skin health often requires a multi-faceted approach, and direct consultation could enable a more tailored treatment plan for you.
