HELLO POOJA,

Your body type is vata dominant, which means your natural constitution includes qualities like dryness, lightness, coolness, and quick movement. When vata becomes imbalanced, it leads to -dry, flaky skin and scalp -dullness, loss of glow, and sensitivity -dark lips, patchy pigmentation, and tanning -gut issues like constipation, bloating, or nutrient malabsorption -dryness of the intestines leads to toxins (called “ama”) accumulation in your system. -Impaired digestion (agni) affects skin health, fat metabolism, and immunity.

These issues can manifest externally as whiteheads, blackheads, open pores, dandruff and bellyfat due to toxin buildup, poor circulation, hormonal imbalance and stress.

TREATMENT GOALS -balance vata dosha(to restore moisture, calm the nervous system) -improve digestion(agni) and remove toxins -nourish the skin from inside to outside -rejuvenate liver and gut function (crucial for glowing skin) -reduce fat accumulation and detoxify -correct skin and scalp pH to stop dandruff and pigmentation.

INVESTIGATIONS -Cbc, vitamin d3, b12, LFT -stool test- if gut health is poor or for candida

1) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water before bed for 3 months =clears Ama, supports liver and digestion

2) MANJISTHA CAPSULES= 500mg twice daily after meals for 3 months =improves complexion, clears blemishes, cools the body

3) MEDOHARA GUGGULU= 2 tab after meals twice daily for 2 months =improves metabolism, reduces subcutaneous fat

4) AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1/2 tsp after meals twice daily for 6 weeks =for acidity, bloating and gut detox

5) KHADIRARISHTA= 20 ml with equal water twice daily after meals for 2 months =liver detox and skin clarity

EXTERNAL TREATMENT

** SKIN GLOW, PIGMENTATION AND TAN REMOVAL

1) KUMKUMADI TAILA- NIGHT OIL =2-3 drops after cleansing face at night. Leave overnight =brigthens , reduces spots, nourishes dry vata skin

2) UBTAN PACK= 2-3 times/week -mix 2 tsp besan -1 tsp curd or milk -1/2 tsp turmeric - 1/2 tsp sandalwood powder =apply for 15 mins wash off with lukewarm water

3) LICORICE + HONEY PACK FOR PIGMENTATION -mix 1 tsp yashtimadhu powder+ 1 tsp honey =apply for dark lips and pigmented areas daily for 15 minutes

** FOR DANDRUFF AND SCALP HEALTH

1) NEEM OIL + BHRINGARAJ OIL -warm and apply 3 times/week. Leave for 1 hour or overnight =antifungal, reduces itching, cools the scalp

2) HAIRMASK -mix 2 tsp yogurt -1 tsp neem powder -1 tsp hibiscus powder -few drops tea tree oil Apply on scalp, leave 30-40 minutes, then wash with mild herbal shampoo

To achieve glowing skin, reduce pores, blackheads, and restore your skin’s original color, focus on balancing your Vata dosha. Dry skin, stubborn tan and flaky dandruff often indicate Vata imbalance. You can start with a coconut oil massage or sesame oil massage before bathing; this will help nourish your skin and promote a healthy glow. For better results, apply almond oil or aloe vera gel on your skin at night, focusing on any stubborn tan areas.

For dry and dark lips, try using ghee. Regularly applying ghee or coconut oil on your lips can prevent dryness and maintain a natural pink hue. Homemade scrubs with honey and sugar can exfoliate gently, aiding in the removal of dark layers.

Now, focusing on your diet to reduce belly fat while keeping in mind your Vata nature; opt for warm, cooked meals. Kitchari (a mix of rice and lentils) can be effective, as it aids in detoxifying while being gentle on your digestive system. Include spices like ginger, turmeric, and cumin, which enhance digestion. Ghee added to meals not only tastes good but keeps your joints lubricated, balancing Vata. Prefer warm water, sip it throughout the day rather than cold drinks.

For your dandruff issue, consider using a neem-based shampoo or shikakai powder. A bhringraj oil massage on the scalp could reduce flakiness and itching. You may also apply lemon juice to the scalp 30 minutes before washing. It’s essential here to stay hydrated and consume adequate amounts of omega-3 fatty acids (flaxseeds and walnuts are good options).

By integrating these tips, maintaining regularity and patience is key, seeing improvement might take some time. Avoid excessive caffeine or processed foods that can aggravate Vata dosha, and incorporate light evening walks or a gentle yoga practice to enhance circulation and reduce belly fat naturally.

For glowing skin and reduction of pores, whiteheads, and blackheads, focus on maintaining balance in your Vata dosha, which seems prominent in your constitution. Use a gentle exfoliation with gram flour (besan) and turmeric paste weekly to cleanse and reduce the appearance of pores. Mix equal parts, make a paste with water or rosewater, and apply it over the face. Leave it for 10-15 minutes before gently scrubbing and washing off. For stubborn tan, you can apply aloe vera gel, which soothes and lightens skin tone over time.

For dry, dark lips, apply ghee or coconut oil regularly to nourish and prevent chapping. These natural emollients will help restore moisture and lighten the lips.

To help manage dandruff and itchy scalp due to Vata imbalance, try massaging warm sesame oil into the scalp once or twice a week before washing. Leave it on for at least 30-45 minutes, it can nourish the scalp and reduce flakiness.

Regarding your diet for reducing belly fat, focus on incorporating warming and moist foods. Consume cooked vegetables, whole grains like brown rice and quinoa, legumes, and healthy fats such as ghee and nuts. Avoid raw, cold, and processed foods. Sip warm water with lemon throughout the day to boost metabolism and detoxify the body. Avoid carbonated drinks and minimize sugar and refined carbohydrates.

Engage in gentle exercises like yoga or brisk walking for about 30 minutes daily to balance your Vata energy while aiding digestion and metabolism. Stay hydrated, and ensure that your meals are regular and not skipped to maintain the digestive fire (Agni). If dandruff or other symptoms worsen, consult with a health practitioner for a personalized evaluation and treatment plan.
