Ancient
Ayurveda Beauty Therapies Beauty :
Treatments at Ayurveda Retreat Visit our Retreat
for ancient beauty treatments derived from the
ancient texts of Ayurvedic Medicine and Yoga
Sutras for the mind, body and soul. At Ayurveda
Retreat we carefully select and adopt these
treatments to each individual. Many ancient
temples in India display the most beautiful
carvings of women enjoying these beauty treatments.
Ayurveda and Beauty As in any holistic medicine,
inner and outer radiance and aging are closely
related. The more we nurture ourselves, the
more radiant we become mentally, spiritually,
physically and emotionally, regardless of our
particular body shape or proportions. Ayurveda
emphasizes beauty as being a product of the
four dimensions, physical, mental, spiritual
and mental health with high importance given
to self-knowledge, positive environment, development
of positive routines and habits. The secret
in retaining youth and beauty is ensuring the
proper circulation of vital life fluids and
the regular discharge of waste materials through
therapies such as Panchakarma and Kaya Chikitsa.Nothing
helps the body more than a routine care and
nurturing through tools such as massage. In
the Ayurvedic tradition, massage is considered
just as essential to overall health and beauty
as good diet and positive life style. An Ayurvedic
facial massage activates deep centers of the
brain, reflex points and facial circulation
to totally soothe the body. Tensions in the
neck, shoulders
|
 |
and face are freed
and energy
is rebalanced from head to toe. Herbal extracts
and essential oils are to be added for their additional
healing properties and pleasant fragrances. Using
an Ayurvedic Diet to keep yourself beautiful Ayurvedic
diet is high in vegetables, fruits , whole grains
and other naturally fiber-rich and wholesome food
that not only provide lasting energy throughout
the day but keep the body toned and radiant. Fiber
helps maintain a healthy digestive tract by providing
bulk, which in turn helps eliminate toxins and
waste.
|
|
When
the intestines are regularly cleaned, the
body does not become overloaded with digested
material that would otherwise seek elimination
through the skin. · Foods low in fat, help
to keep the blood clean enhancing good circulation.
Thus an efficient circulatory system works
to cleanse and nourish the whole system,
and naturally help weight control. Food
high in refined sugars and carbohydrates
give the body a quick boost of energy that
is always followed by a physical (and emotional)
low. This stresses the pancreas and adrenals,
devitalizing the body. Refined carbohydrates
deplete the body of minerals, which are
so important for all vital functions. It
is the combination of refined carbohydrates
and excess protein, which forces toxins
to the skin surface in the form of pimples.
Food high in minerals keep the body looking
alive and charged with energy. Minerals
greatly contribute to that intangible radiant,
fresh, and magnetic look of a person in
good health· Food rich in vegetable proteins.
Low protein diets weaken the body and cause
a hollow, sunken look to the face. Diets
high in animal proteins increase the toxicity
of waste products in the body due to their
slow transit time (it takes meat about three
days to completely be digested and leave
the system.) This slows digestion and depletes
the body of minerals. Vegetable proteins,
on the other hand, fully nourish the body,
being quickly and efficiently |
metabolized.
Ayurveda has the means of making meals more
digestible with such spices as garlic, ginger,
cumin, cayenne, and black pepper. Diets
high in salt tend to make the mind and body
stiff and tight. Having a constricting influence
on the body, it tends to slow circulation
and create retention of fluid. This can
create that sunken effect under the eyes
and make someone look puffy. In Ayurveda,
a very low salt diet is suggested whenever
there are skin problems. |
Strong stimulants or depressives such as
coffee, sodas, or alcohol stress the body's
organs and make skin loose and flabby, furrowing
the brow and producing bags under the eyes
in the long run. · Fresh organic foods are
nutritionally the richest, coming from healthy
soil and thus carry the strongest, vital
energy. This contributes to a radiant, rich
glow in general.Ayurveda Mukh SoundaryaA
