climate. Most common complains in cold days are rough skin and dry skin. We all
are well aware of Vata aggravation in this season.

symptoms of vata aggravation

Dhruti Kagrana: Ruksh & khara
Guna of Vata
Ayulink Ayurveda: There are internal as well external reasons
for skin dryness and roughness
Vd.
Pritam Bharat Veer: Dryness is because
of vat prakop Ruksh gun of vat increases. Internal also vat prakop And external
shit rutu eg varsha rutu
Vd.
Dhruti Kagrana:
External reasons: dry environment,
frequently washing hands, inadequate hydration, swimming in a chlorinated pool
or jobs that are rough on the hands such as mechanics or farming.
Ayulink Ayurveda: Internal causes are: Vata aggravating diet,
cold food, dry food, less consumption of sneha. aahar and vihaar are important
to understand...aahar plays a major role in internal factors
Vd.
Dhruti Kagrana: Internally Dry
skin condition may be caused by taking some medicines, as well. Some examples
are high blood pressure, high cholesterol, allergy, and acne medications.
Occasionally, a dry skin problem can be a sign of an internal medical
condition. For instance, aging may inherently make people more prone to dry
skin
Dryness - Rukshta is one of the pre-sign
(Purvaroop) of Panduroga /Anemia
Ayulink Ayurveda: There are many students in todays webinar...I
wish they can add here list of diet / food which can cause dry skin
Ayucafe 032019 79: Decreased snigdhata of rasa dhatu causes twak
rookshata
Dr. Madhura Phadtare: Atichinta also can cause rukshata of skin ? As
it causes rasa dushti
Dr Rahul shihire: Increase desh cold guna couse rushcta
Ayulink Ayurveda: yes, mano-daihik bhav are important to
understand
Vd.
Dhruti Kagrana: Dry skin often has an environmental cause. Certain
diseases also can significantly affect your skin. Potential causes of dry skin
include:
*Weather*: Skin tends to be driest in
winter, when temperatures and humidity levels plummet. But the season may not
matter as much if you live in desert regions.
Heat. Central heating, wood-burning
stoves, space heaters and fireplaces all reduce humidity and dry your skin.
*Hot baths and showers*: Taking long,
hot showers or baths can dry your skin. So can frequent swimming, particularly
in heavily chlorinated pools.
*Harsh soaps and detergents* :Many
popular soaps, detergents and shampoos strip moisture from your skin as they
are formulated to remove oil.
*Other skin conditions*: People with
skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis (eczema) or psoriasis are prone to
dry skin
Ayulink Ayurveda: excessive stress, anxiety, fear, crying are to
be considered for dryness of skin. This is more modern causes.....excessive use
of chemicals, exposures to pollution can make skin problems
Dr. Madhura Phadtare: Excessive caffiine consumption also can cause
dry skin
Ayulink Ayurveda: and herbal tea? or regular teas?
Ayucafe 032019 79: Yes, in atichinta chalatva and shookshma raja
guna increase , which impact on hrudaya wch is moolastana of rasa dhatu. By
this rookshata increase
Dr Rahul shihire: Low concumsion of water due cold couse dry Ness
of skin
Ayucafe 032019 79: Herabal tea won't cause sir. Anidra also one of
cause.
Ayulink Ayurveda: my question was for Tennins?
Vd. Dhruti Kagrana: Rukshta(dryness) & Kharata(roughness) always
together?
Ayulink Ayurveda: very interesting question. mostly dry surface
feels rough too. How to differentiate both? I think it is not compulsory to
have roughness - dryness togehter.
Dr Rahul shihire: Bcoz both are vatt Gunna...samanya vishesh
sidhant
Ayulink Ayurveda: Like mouth
/ oral cavity can be dry but
rough......intestine can be dry and rough both.....dryness will cause
constipation and furthermore when roughness will be there, it will produce
ulceration
lets discuss about the management of
rough skin and dry skin. most common - everybody knows : application of sneha
Ayucafe 032019 79: Abhynaga is most important treatment
Ayucafe 07 2019 16: Internal snehan
Ayucafe 07 2019 16: In diet
Ayucafe 032019 79: Like snighdha ushna taila
Vd.
Dhruti Kagrana: Yes. In winter
daily application of milk cream reduce dryness
Ayucafe 07 2019 16: Til tail abyang is best
Ayulink Ayurveda: again management can be from external and
internal - two types
Ayucafe 032019 79: Narayana taila, bala asjwaghadha lakshadi taila
maha masha, masha taila,
Ayulink Ayurveda: prevention is first step to remember. shamana
and brumhan snehan are good to understand here. shaman sneha will be for
asymptomatic relief - till the dryness removes or roughness removes
Vd.
Dhruti Kagrana: In winter we
eat - Adadiya, Khajurapaka, Halva - Snigdhadiet
Ayulink Ayurveda: That is brumhana snehan
Dr. Jayesh Patel: Less cosmetic uses......it's harmful to
skin......just apply coconut oil or tail is enough for external use.....
Internal use- take plenty of water, use
some ghreet with meal....& Uses
Purely home food
Ayulink Ayurveda: depending upon skin type - use of oil, ghee,
milk, milk cream, butter etc can be apply to the skin (also need to consider
the location of the skin too)
Dr Jayesh Patel: Rt .in oily skin can't use oil....just wash it
warm water......
Ayulink Ayurveda: due to dryness/ roughness cracks on heel (paddari), cracks on lips can
be there...but for both condition we can have different materials. on heels we
can apply ghee or castor oil......on lips we can use milk cream or coconut oil
or ghee.
Dr. Madhura Phadtare: Tea contains tannin which is astrigent in taste
...and kashaya rasa increases rukshata
but also does twaka prasadan(va.su.10/20-21) ....so it should not cause dryness
of skin ...please correct me if i am wrong...any difference of opinion are also
welcome
Ayucafe 032019 79: Internally ghee, payasa are good
Ayulink Ayurveda: please share payasa preparation.
Dr Rahul shihire: Use ropan soap for bath

Dhruti Kagrana: I do not use
chemical cosmetics in my clients for facial. I use milkcream based herbal kit
for facial & other beauty procedures.
Dr Rahul shihire: In case of dryness skin
Ayucafe 07 2019 16: Excess intake causes dryness
23268:
For Vat shaman = external & internal snehan ( abhyang with hot oil &

external use. Internally snehapan has one side effect....it may increase
weight.. please share any classical formulas, if you suggest
Ayucafe 07 2019 16: If properly taken,ghee or oil never increases wt
Ayulink Ayurveda: kansa bowl massage on feet is now becoming
popular in west. instead of feet, now they give massage to different parts of
the body too. I have seen kansa massage toold - very small size to give massage
on face too.
Dr. Madhura Phadtare: If cause is rasa dushti then Praval pishti will
also useful to decrease dryness .

kapha prakopak ( like haridra yukta snehan kashay RAS Pradhan )

Dr. Madhura Phadtare: What is proportion of lye and oil ?
Ayulink Ayurveda: Have any one applied locally mustard oil for
dryness of skin. Krushara massage is also now getting popular in west for good
skin. krushara (khichadi) made with some herbs and oil or ghee - applied warm
like sarvang abhyang / svedana
Dr. Madhura Phadtare: Pinda sweda also will be useful then for
glowing skin ?
Ayulink Ayurveda: I think that has some reference in books, but
in India, we hardly see such kind of treatment
Dr Poornima: Application of
Coconut oil+tila taila+
erandataila+grita
together helps alot in extremely dry
skin
Ayulink Ayurveda: Yes, pind sveda with rice, with herbs - deeped
in oils are always good. But this krushara massage is something new for
marketing of ayurveda - not in India

photo of it...offered by one of the best (5 star) hotel in Europe

based...This krushara massage is semi-liquid lump / paste form with oils. I am
