			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fashion, glamour and beauty have a symbolic relationship and cannot be separated, as both grow together at an increasing speed and with greater awareness these days. As the complexities of modern living leave us little time for personal grooming, more and more men and women are turning increasingly to professionals for treatments that enhance and maintain looks. Also, as a larger number of women begin to work, the need to appear well-groomed and attractive has assumed greater importance. This has turned beauty care or cosmetology into an Rs.1, 200 crore industry. But do we realize how these cosmetics harm our skin. They only leave us with a beautiful skin outside with lots of side effects for future.</p>
<p>If a thing of beauty is a joy forever, people who use cosmetics are going to experience this joy like no one else. As King of Natural products Ayur, lunched its new range of natural color cosmetics, under the brand name “WOMSEE”. Ayur herbal brand has more than 55 variants available in the market. Keeping in mind, the needs of consumers’ WOMSEE’S products are made with extracts of pure herbs without using any harmful chemicals. The main purpose of these natural cosmetic products is to give and to enhance the natural and external beauty of a female. Masses prefer to try different colors and shades in life to make the life more colorful and lively.</p>
<p>According to Mr. Dilvinder Singh Narang, Managing Director, Ayur Herbal Cosmetics, said that “Today, awareness of beauty products, treatments and grooming is at an all time high, that’s why we introduced our new brand “WOMSEE”, a range of natural colour cosmetics to the consumers. Cosmetic Industry in India is booming and considering the fact our products are mainly targeted to the premium segment of the stratum”.<br />
<span id="more-178"></span></p>
<p>From the ancient times herbs are friends of man and the human body. Natural remedies, natural skin care, natural beauty products are not frowned upon, as they are safe, and have negligible side effects. This gift from nature is highly potent and is used to treat skin and hair problems. Natural beauty products have their origin in the ancient system of medicine called Ayurveda. And ‘Ayur’ has been a pioneer name the making of natural beauty products.</p>
<p>Who doesn’t want to look beautiful? With so many young Indian girls hitting the top spot on the beauty charts, looking beautiful is just not the concern of a privileged few but has become one of the fastest growing sectors in the country. The art of looking good is turning out to be a big business as the race for looking better and different continues. Ayur helps beauty to come in a natural way with its new range ‘WOMSEE’.</p>
<p>Easily available especially in India, which is home to many herbs, many people are switching over to these safer and equally effective alternatives.

According to the CII the ayurvedic herbal care products market comprising skin care, toiletries, hair care and body care was estimated to be worth around Rs 2,500 crore and the herbal cosmetics market was valued at Rs 450 crore.</p>
<p>Ayur was born with the sole objective of providing consumers the 100% natural yet powerful alternatives to mass produced, synthetic chemical cosmetics. Fortunately, nature has provided India with an abundance of plants, roots, flowers &amp; herbs rich in vitamins, enzymes, proteins, minerals &amp; other biologically active compounds that have been used in the care of the body, skin &amp; hair for centuries.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From time immemorial, people in India have relied upon Ayurveda, the science of life as the means of therapy.</p>
<p>In Sanskrit language, &#8220;Ayur&#8221; means life and &#8220;Veda&#8221; is scientific scripture. Though Ayurvedic medicines are herbal-based, there are many other formulations that are organic in their composition. However, modern medicines and therapies from the West, Allopathy, in particular, have almost eclipsed the traditional concept of Ayurvedic medicines.</p>
<p>The City Corporation of Pune, considering these facts, with an objective to create mass awareness on the relevance of Ayurveda and related medicinal plants, has earmarked a park exclusively to nurture Ayurvedic herbs.</p>
<p>There are over 300 species of Ayurvedic plants grown exclusively in this garden and the authorities intend to bring in more of medicinal plants. Visitors to the park are also enlightened about identifying the plants so that if such herbs exist in their backyard garden or the neighborhood, these will be taken care of as ready means of home remedies.</p>
<p>&#8220;This medicinal or Ayurvedic garden is been developed with the aim to make people aware of the various medicinal plants that can be used in our homes from day to day. We&#8217;ve planted many medicinal plants that can help cure ailments at our home like sore throat, upset stomach, gastritis problems and many more. People using these plants need not visit a doctor but cure the diseases at their homes. Here there are over 300 species of Ayurvedic herbs planted here,&#8221; said Santosh, Assistant Garden Superintendent, Herbal Garden, Pune.<br />
<span id="more-166"></span></p>
<p>Ayurvedic medicines have the capability to cure many diseases. One of such plants is &#8220;Guggal&#8221; which possesses a wide range of medicinal values including the potential to cure diabetes.</p>
<p>The horticulture wing of Pune City Corporation has plans to plant around 500 Ayurvedic herbs in this garden. The project cost is estimated to be rupees 10 lakhs (a million rupees). Also, a spacious premise has been set up in this garden and plans are afoot to prepare Ayurvedic formulations from the grown herbs, under proper supervision. &#8220;For future, we&#8217;ve constructed one hall at the garden. So that we can install a manufacturing plant here where we can use and process these plants to make medicines. Apart from this, to provide information among the masses we&#8217;ll maintain a library with relevant and authentic reference books on medicinal plants and their benefits,&#8221; said Santosh, Assistant Garden Superintendent.</p>
<p>In cooperation with the Ayurvedic Vaids (doctors), the plants will be documented for ready cross-reference in the books at the library. The corporation authorities believe that this will be extremely beneficial for the people. While this Ayurvedic Park may be regarded as a feather in the cap of Pune&#8217;s local administrative body, it is worthwhile to mention that the Corporation has also developed several other parks dedicated to varieties of flora and fauna.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>THRISSUR: The Thrissur Corporation and the district unit of the Ayurveda Medical Association of India will jointly organise an eco-friendly and bio-medical method of disease prevention by fumigation of herbal drugs prescribed in Ayurvedic texts &#8211; dhooparaksha &#8211; at Swaraj Round here on Tuesday afternoon. Thousands of people from all strata of life &#8211; students, scouts, NCC, teachers, employees, politicians and common man &#8211; would take part in the dooparaksha programme.</p>
<p>Programme coordinator K G Viswanathan, who is the superintendent of Thaikkattussery Ayurveda College, said that dooparaksha is an effective method of mosquito eradication prescribed in Ayurvedic texts and it was practised by several generations.</p>
<p>He said that since Kerala is facing new threats from vector-born diseases, especially through mosquitoes, it is the need of the hour to find effective ways of mosquito eradication by incorporating the modern and ancient knowledge.</p>
<p>Viswanathan said that as per the programme planned 100 tables would be placed throughout the Swaraj Round. On each of these tables, a mixture of Ayurvedic ingredients kept in earthen pots would be burnt to generate fume.</p>
<p>He said that the Ayurvedic ingredients in the mixture are: neam leaves, Gulgulu, Vayambu, mustard and nalmugha pullu. He said that as per Ayurvedic texts fumigation of this mixture on alternate days would eradicate mosquitoes from the area totally.</p>
<p>For the programme on Tuesday, the state owned Oushadhi provides free-of-cost the required ayurvedic ingredients. He said that dooparaksha programmes in all the 52 divisions are under consideration of the Thrissur Corporation .</p>
