It then discusses skin types based on doshas (vata, pitta, kapha), causative factors for skin issues, and Ayurvedic treatments and routines for different skin types. Specific routines include cleansing, exfoliating, steaming, massaging and masking tailored for vata, pitta and kapha skin. Herbs and ingredients like aloe vera, turmeric, sandalwood, honey and multani mitti are recommended.

Ayurved is the ancient Indian system of keeping good health. Paradigm of ayurved is distinctly different from that of allopathy. While allopathy focuses on curing diseases at a profit, the central theme of ayurved is good health for all. Allopathy follows an analytical-mechanistic approach. Ayurved is a holistic system that takes every aspect of human living as well as the environment into account. Allopathy is based on the mindset of killing the enemy (in this case - micro-organisms like bacteria etc.). Ayurved emphasises harmony and balance.

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

increasing as latest survey displays that a
very large proportion of population

of
touch, pain, temperature pressure are felt by
it.
• Skin is the essentially largest organ in the
body. It covers & protects the underlying
muscles & organs. It acts as an Insulation.
It plays a major role in synthesis of
Vitamin D.

the easy entry of harmful chemicals and
invading organisms such as bacteria and
viruses into the body.
7. TWAK ACCORDING TO AYURVEDA
According to Ayurveda, SKIN is a mirror
to an individual's health.
Twak (SKIN) is a Matruja Avyava
i.e. derived from mother or having
maternal origin.
Twak (Skin) gives clue to one's Ayurvedic constitution
(DOSHA). This is usually understood by the type of skin
one has.
Twak is known as an Upadhatu (secondary tissue
product ) of the rakta dhatu (Blood). Hence it reflects the
qualities of rakta and rasa dhatu (body's plasma tissue).
8. TWAK
In Ayurveda according to sushrutha Acharya the twak has
seven layers namely :
AVABHASINI
LOHITA
SHWETHA
TAMRA
VEDINI
ROHINI
MAMSADHARA
These layers when get affected by imbalanced doshas ( vital
energetic forces of the body ) give rise to different twak rogas
( skin diseases )
9. DHATUS AND SKIN
RASA – PLASMA (Lymph, Avabhasini – Stratum Circulates nutrients,
blood plasma ) Corneum – external horny, makes skin smooth and

EPITHELIAL TISSUES
• Skin is made up of multiple layers
of epithelial tissues.
• The microscopic section of the
skin shows 3 distinct parts namely:
EPIDERMIS
DERMIS
SUB-CUTANEOUS TISSUE.
11. ANATOMY OF SKIN
EPIDERMIS : is the top most
and thin layer.
Melanocytes : melanin
DERMIS : It is the middle layer
of
the skin and is thicker then the
Epidermis.
SUB-CUTANEOUS TISSUE : It
is the lowest layer. It regulates the
body temperature.
12. WHAT SPOILS THE BEAUTY OF
SKIN? (NIDANA)

in drawing out excess heat from the skin and provide
nourishment to the tissues of the skin to withstand the changes in
temperature and helps in keeping skin clear and healthy.
22. PITTA TYPE SKIN CARE
• Also Triphala, Neem and Manjishta are helpful
for Pitta skin types as they purify the skin while
retaining the moisture and youthfulness of the
skin. Ayurvedic formulations for pitta skin types
include combining these herbs with soothing oils
that balance the pitta dosha.
• A particular herb called Flame of Forest helps in
protecting the Pitta skin types from the harmful
effects of sun rays. Should be used in combination
with other drugs.
23. PITTA TYPE SKIN CARE
I have extremely freckly, red, hot pitta skin and I
came up with this to cool off.
Lime evens out dry skin spots, discoloration, and
helps with pimples and excess oil; the rind will be
a mild exfoliant.
Squeeze the juice of 3-4 organic limes. Grate up
the rind with a small grate and add to the juice.
Pour your mixture into an ice cube tray –
distributing the rind evenly.. After the lime is fully
frozen you can rub it on your face – and take extra
time under your eyelids if they’re puffy.

turmeric help in balancing the kapha dosha in
the skin. Apart from nourishing the skin, they
TURMERIC
also help in detoxification. They also adds up
to [tag]skin brightness[/tag] and clarity and
balances the oiliness of the skin.
26. KAPHA TYPE SKIN CARE
Bananas ( ripe) and almonds are both
heating foods – heating is good for Kapha.
Because kapha tends to accumulate
ama (toxin) build-up easily, you’ll want
to make sure and wash this off thoroughly after you’re done.
For this scrub you’ll need 1/4 cup sea salt, a handful of
almonds, and 1/4 of a ripe banana. With a pestle and mortar
or food processor, grind almonds until coarse and set aside.
In a bowl mash the banana until smooth, and add almonds
and salt & stir. The trick to this mask is that it is exfoliating
so when you apply it to your face, scrub with vigor for 3-5
minutes. Wash thoroughly and apply an astringent.
27. FOR COMBINATION SKIN TYPE
You’ll need 2 medium carrots, 1/4 cup of
organic unbleached sugar (for pitta) or sea salt
(for vata/kapha), and 1 TBSP of honey. Carrots
are a wonderful source of anti-oxidants and
Retinol; honey is a sacred substance in
Ayurveda, called “Madhu” in Sanskrit and
according to the ancient texts it is scraping, dry, and astringent
– all great for scrubbing the skin. You can use sugar if you’ve
got pitta skin (because sugar is cooling), and if you’ve got vata
or kapha skin use sea salt (because salt is heating). In a bowl
mix the sugar and honey together and set aside. Blend your two
carrots into a pulp using a food processor. Mix the carrots in
with the honey and sugar. Apply to your face, wait a few
minutes, and wash off.
28. FOR COMBINATION SKIN TYPE
Aloe-Vera has the ability to provide
essential nutrients, kill bacteria, viruses,
fungi, yeasts and reduce inflammation.
Aloe Vera is a natural anti-inflammatory
that is much more delicate on the human
body.
Aloe Vera is comprised of approximately 99% water
Li-gin – This cellulose substance is found in the gel has no
known medical properties except it posses the property of
penetrating the human skin.
29. FOR COMBINATION SKIN TYPE
HONEY is having the properties
antimicrobial, antioxidant, and hygroscopic
which means when exposed to air, it naturally
absorbs moisture in from the air. it helps keep
skin hydrated and fresh and prevents drying.
It contains an enzyme that produces
hydrogen peroxide which is believed to be the
main reason for the antimicrobial activity of
honey
30. SKIN CARE ACCORDING TO SEASON
When climate is hot and humid the skin
feels sticky due to sweat. Microbial activity
increases on wet skin.
Bathe daily to keep the skin clean and
lower the microbial activity.
Use a mixture of soap nut powder, besan
(gram flour) and sandal wood powder to
scrub the skin.
Drink plenty of water to compensate the
loss of fluid through sweat.
31. SKIN CARE ACCORDING TO SEASON
• When climate is cold and dry the moisture level
of skin lowers and skin becomes dry and it tends

32. Treatment for skin disease:
The holistic management of health problems
in ayurveda comprises the three fold scientific
approach towards diseases through diet,
lifestyle and medicine.
Ayurveda has stated that skin diseases occur
primarily due to sluggish liver function,
which leads Pitta and Kapha Dosha dysfunction when toxins build up
and the liver is overwhelmed, then the impurities show up in break-
outs and other skin problems.
Another vital factor that contributes to healthy appearance is the clean
bowel: hence the need for regular and complete bowel evacuation. In
order to achieve this, a mild laxative like Trifala and a light diet are
advisable if one suffers from constipation.
Also, be sure to drink lots of water throughout the day to help flush out
the impurities. In spring you can sip hot water to help melt the ama
(digestive impurities) that have accumulated.
33. Treatment for skin disease:
Scientifically treatments have been
classified as shodhana & shamana.
Sodhan Chikitsa:
When doshas are vitated in large guantity & disease is chronic
then shodhan chikitsa should apply first.
Acharyas have classified shodhana as Basti, Vaman,
Virechana, Raktamokshana (Blood letting) & nasya.
34. Treatment for skin disease:
Shaman Chikitsa:
When doshas are minimally imbalanced & the ACACIA
body is weak. Shaman Treatment is more CATECHU
important.Shaman treatment can be classified
as external & internal.
Administration of proper food, medicines by
mouth is internal treatment & the application
of medicated oil, lepa (ointment), etc is external

40. MY PERSONAL SKIN CARE TIPS
• Take organic Aloe Vera every morning on an
empty stomach. It is known as ‘kumari’ in
Sanskrit which means ‘princess’ or ‘young
maiden’ as Aloe Vera is known to keep you
looking healthy and young. It helps to clear
excess pitta, to nourish plasma tissue and to
clean the liver.
• Take organic rose water as a most delicious drink to rejuvenate the
skin. Put one teaspoon of organic rose water in a glass of pure mineral
water- pure heaven
• Another good idea is to wash your face in organic rose water; its mild
astringency tones, cleans and strengthens the skin and you smell
fantastic afterwards.
41. MY PERSONAL SKIN CARE TIPS
• Ayurveda recommends a daily oil massage
using sesame, coconut or almond oils.
This leaves your skin feeling soft, supple
and nourished. The skin actually absorbs
the oil and nourishes the tissues.
• Don’t wash with soap too much,
its just too drying.
• If you suffer from dry skin and have a tendency to feeling nervous
use organic sesame oil as it contains calcium and it is warming, heavy
and calming.
• If you suffer from a light skin prone to sunburn and rashes use
organic coconut oil. This can help to clear some of the heat toxins that
are building up under the skin.
• If you suffer from acne try taking 2 organic Neem capsules 3x/day.
Use the leaf of the Neem tree that is very bitter and cleansing for the
skin. It flushes heat and inflammatory toxins from the body.

43. CONCLUSION
Just as with one’s diet and daily routine,
knowledge of the doshas is the answer to your skin
questions. Naturally, the health and radiance of
our skin depends as much on our general health as
what materials we use to wash and moisturize.
• Your skin is your protective barrier between
your world and the outer world. The quality of your skin reflects
inner
your inner vitality and health.. Look after your skin so that you are
protecting yourself as well protecting your world.
No amount of bleaching, chemical creams or application of make-
up through dexterity of a skilled beautician can hide the shallow
look if the skin is unhealthy.
