Ayurveda views the human body very differently from modern wellness trends. According to Ayurveda, everything in nature, including the human body, is made from a combination of five elements — space, air, fire, water, and earth.
These five elements combine in different ways to create three constitutions or energies called Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Every person has all three, but in different proportions, which makes each individual unique.
Vata is connected more with space and air qualities and may show up as dryness, roughness, and delicate skin.
Pitta is connected more with fire and water qualities and may show up as warmth, sensitivity, redness, or reactive skin.
Kapha is connected more with earth and water qualities and may show up as thicker, oily, or congested skin.
Ayurveda understands that skin health is not “one size fits all.” What works beautifully for one person may not work for another because each person’s constitution is different.
Ayurveda focuses on understanding these natural tendencies and supporting balance through appropriate lifestyle choices, herbs, foods, oils, and natural ingredients.
I’ll be sharing some simple handmade Ayurvedic skincare preparations inspired by these traditional principles on May 30th Hindu Temple Fair from 4 pm onwards.
Look out for these handmade Ayurvedic preparations at The M-Effect stall on May 30th at the Hindu Temple Fair.
Since these are handmade in small batches, quantities will be limited.
