A1 vs A2 Milk — What’s the Difference (and Why It Matters for Your Skin)?
 
Most supermarket milk contains A1 casein, a protein that breaks down into a compound called BCM-7 during digestion.
👉 BCM-7 can irritate the gut lining, slow digestion, and trigger bloating, inflammation, and even skin flare-ups in sensitive people.
 
A2 milk, on the other hand, has a slightly different protein structure (proline instead of histidine at one spot in the chain).
That tiny difference means no BCM-7 is released, making it much gentler on digestion — especially if you have a weak gut or inflamed skin.
 
💡 Ayurvedic view:
A2 milk is closer to the original, sattvic milk described in ancient texts — nourishing, grounding, and easier to digest when your Agni (digestive fire) is balanced.
A1 milk acts more tamasic — heavy, dull, and clogging when digestion is weak.
 
🩵 Takeaway:
If dairy gives you gas, bloating, or acne — try switching to A2 milk or A2 ghee from traditional cow breeds.
You might discover it’s not dairy itself that’s the problem — it’s the type of dairy and the state of your digestion.
 
✨ Pro tip: Always drink milk warm, never cold, and spice it with turmeric, cardamom, or cinnamon to make it lighter.

This is especially for skin that is:
✨  starting to wrinkle.                 
✨ inflamed
✨  dry
Instead of only treating the outside, Ayurveda starts with digestion. Bitter ghee works by calming fire, reducing dryness, and feeding your skin from within.

⚡Probiotics are NOT step one for clear skin.
If your gut lining leaks, they can actually make inflammation worse.
 
👉 Step 1: Heal the lining
👉 Step 2: Support bile flow
👉 Step 3: THEN probiotics
 
That’s why Ayurveda for digestion and skin is so powerful — it respects order.

🌿 Ayurvedic Food Guide for Dry, Inflamed Skin 🌿
 
This guide is especially for inflamed skin conditions that tend to be on the drier side—like acne with dry cheeks, dry-type eczema, or psoriasis with dryness.
 
These skin issues often come from a Vata excess (excess dryness, gas, bloating, sensitive digestion, nervous system disturbance) combined with a Pitta imbalance (heat in the body and mind, inflammation, redness).
 
✨ 3 tastes that reduce both Vata and Pitta:
✔️ Best: Sweet taste foods (not sugar!) → grains, oils, nuts, dairy, eggs, and sweet fruits
✔️ Salty taste in moderation → helps retain moisture
✔️ Bitter taste in moderation → greens and herbs like spinach, kale (cooked), arugula, cilantro, aloe vera gel, and bitter herbs gently cooked in ghee
 
🔥 3 tastes that aggravate the Vata-Pitta imbalance:
❌ Sour foods (sauerkraut, tomatoes, sour citrus) are heating—avoid especially on an empty stomach
❌ Astringent foods (raw celery, cranberries, unripe fruits) are too drying—better to cook them instead
❌ Pungent foods (powdered garlic, chili, cayenne, hot spices) are both heating and drying, which worsens Vata and Pitta together

🥬 Are you sure celery is good for your skin?
In Ayurveda, celery has drying and slightly heating qualities. That means it can:
❌ Worsen Vata imbalances – dry skin, gas, bloating, constipation.
❌ Aggravate Pitta on the dry side – inflamed or irritated skin.
✔️ Help with Kapha excess – puffiness, water retention, oily skin.
👉 For Vata + Pitta, cook celery with ghee or add it to soups.
👉 For Kapha, enjoy it raw or in smoothies to “scrub” toxins.
✨ Don’t just follow food trends. Use celery the Ayurvedic way for your unique skin type.

Fall is the best time to cool fiery skin conditions like rosacea, acne rosacea, inflamed psoriasis, and eczema without dryness. In Ayurveda, these are signs of excess Pitta dosha—too much internal heat and toxins (Ama).

🔥 My 3-step fall Ayurvedic cleanse calms inflammation, soothes digestion, and supports glowing, healthy skin:
✔️ Bitter herbal ghee (ghee cooked with herbs for liver gallbladder)
✔️ Kitchari reset with cooling greens
✔️ CCF tea  with meals
 ✔️Licorice or Slippery Elm  tea to hydrate the gut and calm down inflammation there)

✨ When you clear the fire inside, your skin reflects it outside.

What if the cure for your skin heat was… letting blood out? 🩸🔥
Sounds shocking, but Ayurveda has used Raktamokshana (bloodletting) for thousands of years to calm excess Pitta — the fire behind inflammation, redness, and breakouts.
Traditionally, leeches did the job. 🪱 In the U.S., a modern alternative is blood donation — a quick way to release heat.
✅ Pro: it’s safe, filtered, and helps others.
❌ Con: it’s not Ayurveda’s precise, tailored therapy.
Ayurveda always treats you — your constitution, your imbalance, your skin story.

🔥 Kombucha isn’t the universal “gut health” miracle it’s marketed to be.
✔ For Vata types, a little acidity can spark sluggish digestion.
❌ But for Pitta types—with acid reflux, burning indigestion, acne, or rosacea—it fuels the fire.
➡ Acid + 6 to 9 g sugar per cup = more heat, more inflammation, more breakouts.
 
✨ Ayurveda teaches: what heals one person can harm another.
Know your dosha (energy) imbalances and tendencies, protect your skin.
