Like all things, Ayurveda takes a holistic view of your skin, skin conditions, and your skin's health. As one of the 4 main detox organs, your skin's appearance and overall health may reveal deeper lying imbalances within your body. In this episode, we talk about:
1) the stages of life from an Ayurvedic perspective and how these stages mean certain skin conditions are more common for certain age groups (example: acne, eczema, large pores, etc.)
2) an overview of the classes of Ayurvedic herbs used to support and balance the doshas (energies) within your body
3) a layered approach to viewing your body, with your blood being the foundational layer that supports all the other layers
4) what detox really means... we're mostly talking about the metabolic exhaust created during normal cellular processes and also real toxins like fragrances and fumes from your environment
5) how overburdening your body's natural detox processes can gum up the works and result in your skin bearing the brunt of these taxed systems
6) how to support your body's natural detox processes
