SKIN REJUVENATION WITH AYURVEDIC THERAPIES

SKIN REJUVENATION WITH AYURVEDIC THERAPIES

The skin as our outer membrane connects to the mucus membranes of the body that form our internal lining or inner skin. This associates the skin with the plasma, the first of the seven tissues in Ayurveda, which reflects the entire process of digestion and the state of Kapha dosha within us. As connected to the plasma, the skin relates to the lymphatic system which sustains it.

The skin is connected to Vata dosha as our point of initial contact with the air, the atmosphere and the wind. Like Vata dosha, it is therefore involved in the aging process, which causes it to become dry and depleted, particularly for those who work outdoors or in the sun. The skin shows how the outer weather and climate affect us. Our wrinkles are chronicles of our years.

The skin is the largest organ in the body. It is the second most important tract in the body after the digestive tract.

After the lungs, the skin is the most important organ for absorbing prana and sunlight.

Keeping our skin healthy is an essential part of any real wellness program, as well as any rejuvenation therapy. Applying herbs and oils to the skin can be helpful for everyone, including those on the spiritual path as it helps calm the mind and clear the emotions. We can bring rejuvenative medicines into the body directly through the skin, particularly by way of oil body therapy. Herbal powders and pastes can be applied to the skin, as can healing clay and mud. 

Oil application to the body, called Snehana in Sanskrit, is an important rejuvenation method as well part of ordinary health maintenance. It also serves as one of the preliminary practices of Panchakarma, Ayurveda’s radical detoxification procedure. Snehana consists of both the external and internal use of oils, with oil massage externally and taking of healing oils internally, particularly ghee or clarified butter in food, herbs or by itself.

Regular oil body therapy is important for strengthening the skin, the plasma or rasa dhatu, particularly in dry climates, dry seasons (autumn and non-rainy seasons), and for those suffering from dryness in the body (like Vata types). Dryness of the skin can promote the aging process and the drying up of the other tissues as well. Oil body treatment is an important method for reducing Vata dosha, the main factor behind the aging process. Oil body treatment helps remove Vata dosha from its place of accumulation in the bones and joints and allows the healing prana to flow within us. Even as a general longevity practice, oil massage is important, and should be part of everyone’s regular health regimen.
Such extensive Oil body treatment nourishes the skin as well as the nervous system. 

Ayurvedic rejuvenation therapies are not only of great value for the middle-aged or the elderly. They have a broad relevance for treating a wide variety of diseases of all ages, particularly severe, chronic and debilitating diseases of both body and mind. They are essential to the recovery phase of disease in general and so form the last phase of many Ayurvedic treatments. All of us of whatever age or condition can benefit from some degree of rejuvenation and restoration of our energies.
