Face Shapes according to Ayurveda

Ayurveda describes the 3 kinds of beauties:



Ayurveda beauty



The vata woman has a thin, charming, vivacious, vibrant face with lively eyes that express spontaneity, sensitivity and easily light up with exhilaration. She is normally underweight and finds it difficult to gain weight.

The pitta woman has a medium sized, sharp-featured face that reflects confidence, strength, a fire that promises volatile anger or extreme lovingness. The dark, smoldering eyes express intelligence and enterprise – a willingness to act. She has a medium build and loses weight evenly and moderately.

The kapha woman has a round, plump face with gentle contours that reflect an unjudging, forgiving nature. The large soft eyes express a serene, accepting sweet nature. She is on the heavy side and has difficulty in losing weight.

Whatever the shape and size of your face, cherish yourself. Cultivate healthy habits. The most beautiful face is the one that radiates happiness.

    By knowing one’s own prakruti (true nature), one can plan and practice an appropriate daily and seasonal dietetic and behavioral regime. With this simple effort, the body will maintain balance of the doshas (vata, pitta and kapha). From an Ayurvedic perspective, this balance is considered the “healthy” state of humans.

    pitta people have a good power of comprehension; they are very intelligent and sharp and tend to be good orators. They have emotional tendencies toward hate, anger and jealousy.They are ambitious people who generally like to be leaders. Pitta people appreciate material prosperity and they tend to be moderately well-off financially. They enjoy exhibiting their wealth and luxurious possessions.

The ache of acne (pimples)

Acne is often the bane of a pretty face. It is painful more emotionally than physically, for the scar that it leaves behind can last for a lifetime, adding to one’s miserable look & feeling. No doubt many expensive skin care clinics have mushroomed in ever nook & corner, offering to clear all the scars & blemishes on the face, but they are very expensive & charge exorbitant price for each sitting; not everyone can afford them. So why not try out this simple skin care regimen to minimize the damage caused by acne & as far as possible prevent its eruption.

Aspirin for acne-prone skin

Aspirin has been around for a long time and its health benefits are wide and varied. Aspirin , or acetylsalicylic acid is a salicylate drug, often used as an analgesic to relieve minor aches and pains , as an antipyretic to reduce fever , and as an anti-inflammatory medication. Aspirin's greatest benefit is reducing cardiovascular events including heart attacks and strokes. According to the American Heart Assoc. virtually all women are at risk of heart disease and doctors should more strongly consider prescribing a daily aspirin for their female patients. There is growing evidence to suggest regular aspirin use may reduce cancer and dementia as well. Investigators from the Women's Health Study have reported important new findings demonstrating that aspirin reduces the risk of a first stroke in women. When given to someone immediately after a heart attack, aspirin decreases death by 25%.
