Maintaining glowing, healthy skin can be difficult to achieve in our modern world. Life moves fast, creating stress and anxiety, which negatively impacts the skin - not to mention the levels of pollution that we come into contact with on a daily basis.
In Ayurveda, the quality of your skin can be a very accurate indicator of your state of balance - or imbalance! Along with taking internal herbal formulations, if necessary, it's also important to maintain a regular daily routine, eat warm, cooked food and practice abhyanga (self oil massage) to help heal and strengthen your skin from the outside in.
Our classically-formulated Eladi Coconut Skin Oil, manufactured by Arya Vaidya Sala, is an Ayurvedic tailam used externally to support the treatment of eczema, dandruff and other skin disorders. It is also known as Eladi Keratailam and is widely used in abhyanga.
