I thought this one was interesting because of the holistic explanation she gives, but also because I haven't heard much about sesame oil. We use every other one, but not that one. I might have to try it now though!
Skin Care Tip: Ayurvedic moisturizing secret
submitted by Wendy, Sydney, Australia
Tip description / details:
I recently came across information on the oldest holistic health program in the world, called Ayueveda. Here is a little background on it. At the end I have stated a great skin tip from this health system. Ayurveda, literally the "science of life and longevity" in ancient Sanskrit, is the oldest healing system in the world in continuous practice. It dates over 3000 years, with roots going back even further. It is the worlds first holistic system of health maintenance, based on lifestyle, diet and herbs. It was discovered that the taste of an herb determines its action: cleansing, balancing or rejuvenating. Generally, bitter tasting herbs clear and cleanse, whereas sweeter herbs tend to be nourishing and rebuilding. In contrast, vitamins therapy assumes there is a deficiency, if one does not exist, they are simply excreted by the body. Ayurveda states that using pure sesame oil on your skin is moisturizing and antiaging. I bought a bottle (very cheap) and have been using it all over my body and face then showering the excess off. My skin is glowing and definitely more hydrated. Great stuff.
Ingredients:
Organic Sesame oil
How to prepare:
Buy a bottle from the supermarket or health shop
How to use:
Apply generously to your whole body and face, then shower as normal.
Results (observed by submitter):
Smooth moisturized skin after only a couple of weeks. Costs involved:
minimal
