There have been plenty of new-age beauty brands promising you the world, but here are very simple, elementary old-age rituals that Indian queens of that “Kingdom Era” used to follow :

• Use a face scrub from milk mixed with crushed almond, crushed walnut kernels, and bengal gram powder. Suggested Use : 2-3 times a week.
• A natural body lotion made from rose water, glycerine and lime juice is very good. Apply it all over your body to hydrate it.
• Mix Sugar granules, honey and orange rind and it will give you a natural homemade body-scrub to keep your skin soft and supple.
• Fresh Cream mixed with lemon-juice and honey can be used as a face pack (15 mins). Cream is very good to moisturize the skin.
• Massage your whole body with olive oil mixed with aloe-vera gel (Ghrit Kumari)
• To relieve a sunburn - use a face-mask by applying Plain Yoghurt (Curd). It will soothe and repair the skin.
• Rub the skin of the Papaya , OR the orange pulp on your face. It maintains the pH balance. Cucumber Slices also work wonders for your eyes.
• Simple Rose water - when sprayed over your face, gives you an instant refreshing feeling.
• Lastly, to give yourself a dose of antioxidants and vitamins, do not touch those pills - Instead, try a glass of mix-fruit smoothie.

I hope you like this, Follow any one of those - and you are set !

There has been a huge uproar recently, and in the past about presence of lead, mercurial compounds in some of the Ayurvedic medicines. Our customers have become concerned about what could happen, and if the product that they take, could contain some of it.
While I want to assure you that our products do not have any metallic compounds or derivatives thereof, I just want to bring light to an article by Dr. Pratap Chauhan (I consider him an authority in Ayurveda and I hope he does not mind copying this at all).

He wrote this after the news first appeared in Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA). Read more »
