Ayurveda Skin Care Products For All Skin Types Introduced

April 29th, 2011

Market Press Release – Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of healing, has been providing treatments for various maladies successfully for thousands of years. Ayurveda works very well for skin care too.

Modern-day treatments just treat the skin as another organ of the human body. But according to Ayurveda, the skin is a “Panchendriya,” or one of the five essential sensory organs, and therefore, treats it as extremely important. Apsaraskincare.com has delved deep into the ancient Ayurvedic principles, done thorough research, and developed some very good Ayurveda skin care products that are providing fantastic results.

Though the practices and knowledge of Ayurveda was lost for generations as modern treatments and medicines became popular, but there has been a revival of sorts in the last decade. Almost all modern-day medicines and treatments cause harmful side effects, and these side effects are often more pronounced than the main issue. Therefore, many people now want to try out alternative remedies that not only provide very good results, but are safer too. Today, a lot of research is being carried out on this ancient healing system, and as a result, we have some very good Ayurvedic products that are reportedly providing very good results too.

The Ayurveda skin care on offer from Apsara includes facial cleansers, facial toners, face lotions, face serums, face masks, and massage oils. All products are developed after extensive research and testing, and all of them are based on the ancient practices of Ayurveda that have been proved to be effective. All Ayurveda skin care products from Apsara are completely safe. The products on offer are for normal skin, dry skin, acne-prone skin, and combination skin.

Apsara’s products are made with some of the best herbs and natural products for the skin. Some of the ingredients used are neem, turmeric, rose dew, root of vetiver, carrot seed, eucalyptus, lavender, sweet almond, papaya, and olive. There are many others too. Often, many of these ingredients are blended together in just the right mix to bring out a product that is just perfect for the human skin. As a result, Apsara’s Ayurveda skin care products are known to provide a young and vibrant look, remove the signs of aging such as wrinkles and dark spots, get rid of acne, and make the skin appear glamorous. Many products are also known to detoxify as well and bring back the lost health.

Balan Natural introduces Amla and Brahmi juice

March 29th, 2011
Bangalore based Balan Natural Foods Ltd. (BNFL), a leading integrated juice and processed food producer, has introduced two new wellness juices- Amla and Brahmi. These are available across markets (in all leading retail chains) such as Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Delhi (NCR) and Gujarat.
“As the name, Bnatural indicates, the purpose is delivering food products from natural ingredients without removing or altering their flavour and the nutrition they provide and adding to the way they taste and look. Thus, the products are not just health but tasty to have and a lot more fun,” said a company spokesperson.
Introducing these two products, Arunachalam Nandaakumar, Chairman Bnatural, said: “Human wellness is our purpose and our task is to deliver that nourishment in the original tastes and flavours that each fruit, vegetable, herb and grain offers with least possible distortion in processing and packaging.”
The Amla fruit is considered to be bestowed with Rasayana Properties. A rasayana herb in Ayurveda is one which boosts immunity and scavenges the free radicals from the body by detoxifying the blood and other tissues in the body.The fruit contains nearly 20 times as much as vitamin C as orange juice. Every 100 gm edible fruit provides 470-680 mg of vitamin C (as per the nutritive value of Indian foods – icmr 2004). This along with tannis present in it imparts the antioxidant benefit to the body when taken regularly.
Ayurveda recommends Amla for improving the digestion, blood purification and building the resistance of the body against various infectious diseases. Regular use of Amla also helps optimize liver functions to ensure that one gets sustained energy throughout the day. Modern researches have proved that regular use of Amla also helps smooth cardiac functioning. Amla is specifically known for its benefits to combat common cold and sore throat.
For many centuries Brahmi has been used in Ayurveda as a brain tonic to improve memory and concentration. Brahmi improves receptive and retentive capacity of mind and is known as the Neuro and Cardio tonic.
Now scientists using modern scientific tools have studied the herb and attributed these benefits to its active constituents.
Its active constituents help calm the mind by reducing the stress. By virtue of its anti-stress activity, Brahmi also helps optimize the blood pressure in people who suffer from hypertension. It rejuvenates the nerves and brain cells and therefore plays an important role in ayurvedic therapies for the treatment of cognitive disorders of ageing.
In Ayurveda it is considered as best brain tonic and is very widely given in improving memory and concentration. It is unique in its ability to invigorate mental processes whilst reducing the effects if in stress and nervous anxiety by inducing a sense of calm and peace.

Show Your True Colors with R-U-VED’s Dosha T-Shirts

March 17th, 2011

  • Are you imaginative, on the go and have an active mind? Try the “vata” T-shirt.
  • Do you consider yourself right most of the time and could be considered opinionated, competitive and ambitious? The “pitta” T-shirt is just the right fit for you.
  • If easygoing, reliable and patient describe you, the “kapha” T-shirt will suit you just fine.

To take the dosha quiz, click here. Dosha T-shirts are available in unisex sizes small through large from R U-VED at http://www.ruved.net for $10.99 each.

ORGANIC INDIA Launches New Immunity Supplement

March 8th, 2011

ORGANIC INDIA announces the availability of Immunity, a new herbal formula designed to boost the immune system.

ORGANIC INDIA’s new Immunity formula provides powerful immune support in the face of free radical damage, environmental toxins and stress. Immunity helps boost the immune system function, combining the benefits of deep rejuvenation with natural detoxification. Abundant in antioxidants, Immunity helps relieve stress, supports the liver and strengthens immune response. Much of its profound activity is mediated through antioxidants.

Immunity contains two of Ayurveda’s strongest herbal allies – Tulsi-Holy Basil and Katuki. Tulsi-Holy Basil has been used for centuries and is one of the strongest adaptogens available. Revered in India as “The Queen of Herbs,” Tulsi-Holy Basil helps return out-of-balance physiological functions of the body to a normal state. Immunity contains two types of Tulsi-Holy Basil: Krishna Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum) and Vana Tulsi (Ocimum gratissimum).

Katuki (Picorrhiza kurrooa) adds powerful antioxidant action to Immunity, which is excellent for combating free radicals. Katuki also excels at protecting and rejuvenating the liver and lungs. ORGANIC INDIA’s Katuki is sustainably cultivated in the wild at altitudes of 10,000 feet or more.

Many immunity-supportive substances are simply anti-pathogen and are based on germ theory. ORGANIC INDIA’s Immunity formula is based on terrain theory, and creates an environment that is strong and resilient to illness. Terrain theory postulates that disease occurs when metabolic processes are out of balance. Tulsi-Holy Basil and Katuki, both adaptogens, help the body rebalance these processes.

ORGANIC INDIA’s Immunity formula is available at http://organicindiausa.com/_product_5842/Immunity and in retail stores.
