Namastey there! I have been consulting consulting you all for sometime. Thank you so much for the assistance and guidance. Right Now I have realised that my skin has become very dry and itchy(winter has worsen it) and i have started getting light pigmentation on my face. I also have some tiny spots on my skin. I am 40 years of age. Earlier i was diagnosed with vata dosha and I am taking medication like dashmoolarishta, brahmi vati, ashwagandha churna sankhapushpi and hingvastak churna. What do you suggest?

WHAT YOU ARE EXPERIENCING IS VERY COMMON AND VERY CLASSIC OF VATA AGGRAVATION ESPECIALLY IN WINTER AND AROUND THIS AGE

DRYNESS ITCHING DEAD SKIN FINE PIGMENTATION AND TINY SPOTS ALL SHOW THAT VATA HAS BECOME STRONG ON THE SKIN LEVEL AND THE SKIN IS NOT GETTING ENOUGH SNEHANA AND RASA DHATU NOURISHMENT FROM INSIDE EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE DRINKING WATER

IN AYURVEDA WATER ALONE DOES NOT HYDRATE VATA SKIN VATA NEEDS OIL WARMTH AND NOURISHMENT

THE MEDICINES YOU ARE TAKING ARE GOOD BUT THEY ARE MORE NERVINE AND DIGESTIVE SUPPORTING THEY ARE NOT DIRECTLY NOURISHING THE SKIN TISSUE

WINTER COLD WIND LATE SLEEP FASTING DRY FOOD TEA COFFEE AND EVEN STRESS QUICKLY DRY UP VATA SKIN AND THAT SHOWS FIRST ON FACE

DO NOT SCRUB DO NOT USE HARSH FACE WASH OR FOAM BASED PRODUCTS THEY INCREASE DEAD SKIN AND PIGMENTATION

EVERY NIGHT APPLY 2 to 3 DROPS OF KUMKUMADI TAILAM OR ALMOND OIL ON FACE LET IT STAY OVERNIGHT

IN THE MORNING DO NOT WASH FACE WITH HOT WATER USE LUKEWARM OR NORMAL WATER

INTERNALLY YOU NEED MORE SNEHANA SO ADD ONE TEASPOON GHEE DAILY WITH LUNCH OR DINNER

ADD MAHATIKTAKA GHRITA ONE TEASPOON ONCE DAILY WITH WARM WATER OR BEFORE FOOD THIS WILL HELP IN DRYNESS ITCHING AND PIGMENTATION

ADD MANJISHTHA CHURNA HALF TEASPOON AT NIGHT WITH WARM WATER FOR BLOOD PURIFICATION AND CLEARING SKIN SPOTS

IF ITCHING IS MORE YOU CAN TAKE KHADIRARISHTA FIFTEEN ML WITH EQUAL WATER AFTER LUNCH AND DINNER

FOR OVERALL SKIN RASA DHATU SUPPORT TAKE GUDUCHI SATVA 2 PUNCH IN THE MORNING WITH WARM WATER

YOU CAN CONTINUE DASHMOOLARISHTA BRAHMI VATI ASHWAGANDHA AND SANKHAPUSHPI BUT HINGVASTAK SHOULD BE LIMITED IF SKIN IS VERY DRY TAKE IT ONLY WHEN THERE IS GAS OR HEAVINESS

INCLUDE WARM COOKED FOODS SOUPS DAL KHICHDI MILLET PORRIDGE STEWED VEGETABLES AND AVOID RAW SALADS AT NIGHT

SLEEP BEFORE 10.40 PM

THE PIGMENTATION AND TINY SPOTS ARE EARLY SIGNS AND THEY ARE REVERSIBLE IF VATA IS PACIFIED NOW

DO NOT WORRY THIS IS NOT A MAJOR SKIN DISEASE THIS IS YOUR BODY ASKING FOR MORE NOURISHMENT AND CARE

IF YOU FOLLOW THIS CONSISTENTLY YOU SHOULD START FEELING SOFTER SKIN LESS ITCHING AND BETTER GLOW WITHIN THREE TO FOUR WEEKS

TAKE CARE AND LISTEN TO YOUR BODY IT IS DOING ITS BEST TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOU
