AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON DULL / GRAY SKIN

Skin may become lusterless and dull when
  • Circulation to the skin is poor
  • Toxins (ama) in circulation are released through the skin

Poor Circulation

Poor circulation causes the skin to appear lifeless. Lusterless skin is often present in those with heart conditions. Poor circulation can be due to cold weather as well, which causes vasoconstriction of capillary beds in the skin. In this case, diaphoretics can warm up the skin, revitalizing it. A hot bath or sauna can open up circulation to the skin, making it appear fresh and new.

Toxins from the Colon

Alternatively, skin may appear gray and lifeless when ama (toxins) are present. The grayish color specifically indicates toxins from the colon, often due to constipation. A laxative, and liver support, are often the best remedies for this type of lusterless skin.

Heating foods like chili pepper, stimulate your body and increase metabolism. For 'Dull / Gray Skin', you should select foods with the following biocharacteristics.

HOW TO ADDRESS ISSUES IN STAGE OF DISEASE #2

DULL / GRAY SKIN IS IN STAGE OF DISEASE #2 - AFFECTING BLOOD & EMOTIONS

Affecting Blood: Initially, imbalances are localized, often in the digestive tract. As an imbalance grows, it starts to affect your body systemically, via the blood. If you have symptoms in this category it means that your imbalances are starting to spread, have entered the bloodstream, and are now systemic. Pay particular attention to the biocharacteristics, tastes, and doshas out of balance systemically, so you know how to strengthen your body as a whole, and reduce physical stress on your organs. At this stage of imbalance you will begin to experience generalized discomfort, imbalanced emotions, and may develop sensitivities to temperature. It may take several weeks of strict adherence to a specific remedial diet to clear blood level imbalances. Blood cleansing herbs may reduce symptoms. A several day cleanse may shorten the recovery time.

If you notice a biocharacteristic or dosha appears next to many of your symptoms, it helps you establish a pattern that may be systemic.

ARE YOU WONDERING HOW AYURVEDA CAN HELP YOU?

WHY IS AYURVEDA THE RIGHT SOLUTION?

Ayurveda strengthens the body while opposing disorders. It takes a holistic, systemic approach that looks at the whole body. Ayurveda shows how to interpret signs and symptoms of imbalance, and how to address them using diet, lifestyle adjustments, and herbs. It shows a person how to optimize their health on a continual basis. You can't take the doctor home with you, but you can take Ayurveda home with you. Ayurveda is the most advanced and easy to use home system for self healing.

HOW DOES AYURVEDA WORK?

Ayurveda starts by identifying your body type, which identifies certain tendencies in your body to get sick (as well as identifying your strengths). It uses body type to determine the likely root causes of your disorders. Next, Ayurveda analyzes the nature of your disorder. It fits all your signs and symptoms into a pattern, expressed as a combination of biocharaceristics (gunas). For example, you may have a heat disorder, a cold disorder, or an oily disorder, etc. This simple categorical approach shows you how to correct systemic imbalances and strengthen your body as a whole.

On Joyful Belly, we've created an extensive categorization of food so you can easily match food to your imbalanced biocharacteristics. By eating an optimal diet that balances your biocharacteristics, your whole body is strengthened and the conditions that created the disorder are removed. Once the root causes of the disease are removed, the disease lessens in strength or disappears altogether. Additional remedies - such as herbs and lifestyle practices - focused on the specific disorder, can greatly enhance your healing.
