Dr Sonica Krishan, Ayurveda consultant & holistic healthcare expert, Herboveda, Chandigarh.
Natural Choice
Dr Krishan feels that natural therapies for enhancing beauty are much sought after by all age groups.
Complete Overhaul
There is an array of Ayurvedic therapies sans side-effects that can work well. “Herbal massages and detoxifying therapies such as Shirodhara, Abhyanga and Panchakarma help cleanse the body inside out. Not only this, these natural therapies also remove ama (toxic matter) build up,” says Dr Krishan.
Perfect Antidote
Dr Krishan says that skin problems such as rough and scaly skin, acne, wrinkles and blemishes, hair fall, premature ageing and weight gain are quite common. The doctor adds that ayurveda works on improving the quality of one’s skin and health by taking care of one’s innate mind-body constitution.
Stay Fit
She believes in following a natural lifestyle, while taking to herbal healthcare options for her skin and hair, and sleeping at least 7 to 8 hours a day.

Tips
1. Apply aloe vera on your skin to retain its moisture and 10 to 20 ml of freshly extracted juice may be taken as an oral supplement.
2. As for having fresh and healthy skin, mix 2 tsp of rose water and a few drops of glycerine and 1/2 tsp of lemon juice. You can then apply it on the face.
3. Turmeric or haldi mixed with gram flour (besan) and sandalwood powder applied to the skin makes it soft and glowing. And this also helps remove blemishes.
4. Neem or margosa tree leaves are natural cleansers. You could easily consume 10 to 20 ml of freshly extracted juice of neem leaves for clear skin.
