Ancient Indian medical therapy
Ancient Indian medical therapy presents
some health techniques such as diet changes, breathing movements and herbs to
care for patients based on “dosha” (also known as “body condition”) of each
person.
“Dosha usually associated with different
types of body skin” - by Jasmina Aganovic - physical trainer and founder of
Beaty Skin-care Institutions – “Vatadosha represents dry skin, Pitta represents
sensitive skin and Kapha represents oily or combination skin”. However, there
is no concrete evidence to prove that skin care based on dosha will bring many
benefits - by Susan Stuart, MD, a dermatologist.
However, this is basis for the preparation
of herbal ingredients according ancient Indian medical therapy, which makes you
look younger. “For example, studies indicate that raw turmeric and ginger - two
herbs used in Indian medicine can reverse wrinkles” - by Shyam Gupta, Ph.D., a
chemist cum founder of Bioderm Research company. In addition, several studies
also demonstrated that grape seed extract - also a medical material from Indian
medicine - which resists cellular aging much more than C and E vitamins.
Note: You
can use moderately herbs such as ginger and turmeric, but do not overuse them
in your diet when not determine exactly what dosha your skin is.
Alkaline diet
Some studies indicate that acid can destroy
the body, so it's better if you add a high alkaline foods (less acidic) such as
fruits or vegetables, they will help slow down skin aging process.
There are no studies to prove this
hypothesis because our bodies have the ability to adjust the acidity of the
diet. However, there is a real story that “The patients eat food containing 80%
alkaline realize their skin have less dry and less wrinkle than through the
week” - according to nutrition expert Kimberly Snyder.
Note: Diet
does not directly reduce wrinkles, but eating more vegetables and fruits will
complement your skin health and wellness.
Skin acupuncture
This treatment does not hurt you as you
think. You will use an instrument that cover much of the small needles and
gently rub the surface to create tiny incisions in the skin in a short time, it
helps promote the treatment, bring relaxation state for skin.
Dermatologist Kathy Fields, MD, who has developed
acupuncture tools at home for Rodan & Fields, said that this device has the
function of promoting the collagen production for skin and increased
permeability of anti-aging compound, which has been absorbed before. However,
because there is no study to prove the effectiveness of this instrument when
used at home, Dr. Stuart recommended that patients should acupuncture in
company office with advanced equipment to achieve expected results and safety.
Note:
acupuncture before you absorb any product with vitamin A. Home acupuncture
tools help the skin to be smoother, but it also has the same functionality as
the food rich in vitamin A.
The detoxification
Many experts think that some temporary
restraint in diet (such as the purification of the body, water drink regime to
lose weight, or the body detoxification plan) can help your skin glow and be
brighter.
“Most people's skin are improved after
detoxification process because this process will remove the toxin inside the
body - the source of many symptoms of the skin, including rosacea, acne, and
pre-aging”. - by Frank Lipman, MD, general practitioner and founder Eleven
Eleven Wellness organization. Although it is ideal if there is a nutrition
expert guide thorough detoxification process, you can also get the benefits of
detoxification in your way. Dr. Lipman advised you to avoid drinking caffeine,
sugar, dairy products, gluten, meat in a few weeks to promote your body
condition. Some researches also add to this theory by pointing out examples
such as rising levels of gluten will lead to some not good symptoms for the
skin or use too much milk products will cause acne.
However, Mary Lupo. MD, dermatologist cum
member of the Prevention's consulting, said that no study to prove the
temporary detoxification can reduce the inflammation of the cells or bring the
rich source of protein for skin.
Note: The
process of detoxification can rejuvenate you, but eating less sugary foods or
starchy foods will make you healthier in the long run, because these foods can
disable glucose blood and accelerate the aging of organs, including skin.
