Just Herbs beauty and spa recipies are primarily prevention therapies built on identifying your basic prakruti (your genetic makeup) and the vikruti (changed skin conditions) and then following a beauty regimen with a choice of products that nurtures your inner Doshic state. These balancing remedies are person specific rather than disorder specific as each individual has his own particular balance or blend of the three doshas (prakruti). Their purpose is not to treat the symptoms but to eliminate the cause.
It is important to know how to have a healthy skin but knowing how it became unhealthy or disordered (imbalanced doshas) is even more so. To balance our doshas on a daily basis, it is important to understand that your prakruti (Your genetic makeup) does not change. It remains constant throughout your life. Only the state of your doshas changes.This changed pattern of your doshas is called vikruti resulting in some kind of disorder. Vikruti is the more changeable aspect of your being and is most influenced by external circumstances, climate, season, even different times in a single day and the strongest among these being the food we eat, that determines the nutritional state of the body. Therefore, for making the right choice of products, you have to consider your vikruti that has caused a particular skin condition e.g. dry /oily/dull/rough/blemished/pimpled skin. This helps you understand better where you are out of balance and what is needed to get back in balance. Each of the doshas has characteristics that manifest in the body and mind as particular qualities. The unique qualities of vata is dryness and cold, pitta oiliness and heat, kapha moistness and heaviness
So, we say that whenever there is lot of dryness in the body, Vata energy is high.This may be dry skin, dry hair, cracked lips, or internal dryness resulting in constipation.When there is excess heat and burning sensation, Pitta energy is high, as in case of fever, inflammations or even hot temper. When there is excessive heaviness, extra Kapha energy is present making for excess weight, cellulite, water retention, swelling or puffiness.
About Ayurveda
Ayurveda , the ancient Indian science of longevity was revealed to the seers of India thousands of years ago. The same five elements ( the panchmahabhutas) - Ether, Air, Fire, Water and Earth , which are the building blocks of existence and which comprise the mantle of this earth and the whole universe, are the very elements making up the human body as well and the laws which govern their form and actions are the same," as within, so without"
These five elements combine to form the three DOSHAS, the life giving forces-
Air and Ether rule the formation of Vata
Fire and Water rule the formation of Pitta
Earth and Water rule the formation of Kapha
These are the invisible forces (subtle energies) that orchestrate all the functions of the human body , thus shaping how we look, how our metabolic processes function, how we respond to different surroundings, even how we think and feel.
We’ve done a lot of reading, to explore the intrinsic value of this Ayurvedic treasure, to choose and pick from the many herbs, spices, flowers, plant essential oils, vegetable/ fruit extracts and naturally occurring minerals to infuse them into the Just Herbs collection.
