Cosmetic effect of Dincharya procedures:
The word Cosmetics is defined as” the Substances of diverse origin, scientifically
compounded and used to cleanse, allay skin troubles, cover up imperfections and to
beautify”. Ayurveda emphasizes on both external and internal beauty and external
beauty is complimented by internal beauty. It is said that Kaanti, Chaaya, Varna
,Prabha of an individual is determined at the time of “Shukra- Shonitha Samyoga”
itself. The factors contributing to these are Matruja, Pitruja, Rasaja and Sathmyaja
Bhavas and also Mahabhuta predominance. These factors determine the Prakrithi,
Sara, Samhanana, Pramana and Twak of the individuals. Following are the
suggestions of Ayurveda towards beauty and health. For Physical beauty,
Dinacharya. For Internal beauty, Achara Rasayana, Sadvritta and control over
Dharaneeya Vegas. Dinacharya includes Mugha Sodhana, Abhyanga, Udvarthana,
Anjana, Keshaprasadhana, Vyayama, Nasya. Diet also plays an important role.
Charakacharya explains that by Rasayana, a person with dark complexion can have
fair complexion. He also explains about various Yogas and single drugs in Rasayana
which has cosmetic effect. By Sadvritta, by Samyak Yoga of Indriya and performing
of different actions after proper thoughtful analysis of his intelligence has all role in
maintaining internal beauty. By control of Dharaneeya Vega proper care of Physical

beauty is possible because any of the mental disturbances can have negative impact
over the skin which further hampers the physical beauty.
Role of dincharya:
Hygiene is as important as cosmetic application. Beauty is not achieved in one day,
but it should be enhanced or maintained by following the daily regimens mentioned
in our Classics. Various Charyas which need to be followed in our day to day life
which are very much essential for maintaining good health are mentioned in
Dinacharya( daily regimen) which are as follows.
Mukhasodhana- Danthadhavana (brushing), Jihwanirlekhana (cleaning of tongue),
Gandushadharana (gargling),
Mukhaprakshalana comes under this which helps in removal of foul smell, Prevents
lips from cracking, Tenderness of face. Chewing sugar free substances stimulates the
production of saliva and helps to clean the surface of the teeth. Smile is the person’s
ability to express the range of emotions with the structure and movement of the teeth
and lips. It can often determine how well a person can function in the society .So to
keep oneself confident, proper care of teeth and lips is important.
Abhyanga-Massage- Skin is the largest organ in the human body. It is the barrier
which separates individuals from the external environment. Oil gets absorbed by
pores of the skin and spreads to the whole body. Tissue elements of the body get
nourishment by this as the twigs and leaves of a plant grow by spraying water on its
roots. The effect of Abhyanga is many.
Abhyanga has effect on circulatory system. It increases the blood flow, encourages
the lymphatic drainage either shutting of toxins out so that more nutrients can travel
or it adds vitality to a dull complexion. It promotes nutrition to the cells; it helps in
the increased production of sweat thereby helping in the excretion of waste products
through the skin. Abhyanga includes- Sareera
Abhyanga (Body Massage), Pada Abhyanga and Siro Abhyanga (Head Massage).
It is best in graying and falling of hair, helps in growing of deep rooted long hair.
Pada Abhyanga induces good
sleep; it is best in cracking of foot. Studies have shown that this can be practiced by
individuals regularly since it is less time consuming and cost effective. This
procedure is not restricted to Sisira Ritu , it can be practiced in all seasons as a
preventive procedure to prevent the foot related problems and to get the other
beneficial effect from Pada Abhyanga Udvarthana- Smooth rubbing improves the
blood circulation which gives fairness and tenderness to the skin. When applied over
the face it makes the cheeks and face fleshy/corpulent, delicate like a lotus by

removing the dark spots and pimples. It imparts Kaanthi, relieves itching, it is
indicated in skin diseases like Vyanga
Anjanam- Ancient scriptures like Abhijnana Shakunthalam and Meghadootam of
Kalidasa and many mythological epics encompass the reference of cosmetics like
Kajal, which itself show the importance of Anjanam regarding the application of
Anjanam in our classics.
Application of Rasanjana (a sort of collyrium prepared of Berberis aristata) once in
every 5 to 8 nights helps in lacrimation of eyes, which helps in of all the
Mahabhutas, Tejas dominates in eyes so they are specially susceptible to
Kapha.Therefore Anjana which alleviates Kapha is good for keeping eyes clear. By
the use of Collyrium, the eyes become bright like the moon in the clear sky.
Susruthacharya explains about the importance of Netra Prakshalana with Lodhra
kashaya (Symplocos racemosa) or with Amalaka (Emblica officianalis) Swarasa or
with cold water. He states that it is beneficial in removing the dryness of
face,diseases of Raktha and Pitta.
Kesaprasadhanam - Hair is a vital parameter of external beauty. One commonly
overlooked facet of society is the length, colour and texture of the hair on one’s
head. Everybody is concerned with its appearance and disorders. It is said to be a
byproduct of bone metabolism. Amino acids have an important role for maintaining
healthy hair. Glutamine is the most commonly occurring amino acid, which is
produced naturally by the body, but the production of it decreases with age.
Glutamine is build from Glutamic acid. This builds the hair by delivering Sulphur
which is necessary for hair growth. Methionine contains Sulphur which can
considerably strengthen the hair structure and nails. It can also help against hair loss.
Vaso dialatory effect of Arginine promotes hair growth as the Nitrogen oxide
generated from Arginine opens the Potassium channels of cells. The blood supply to
hair root is then improved which in turn stimulates hair growth .Zinc is involved in
the building of Keratin, which is one of the main component of hair. Zinc facilitates
the necessary cell division which makes the growth of hair possible. Hair loss is one
of the signs of Zinc deficiency, which can be , improved through Zinc
supplementation36. Iron deficiency leads to damage of hair structure which can
cause hair loss.
Vyayamam (Exercise)- In Chanakyaneethisastram, it is said that “Wealth should be
enjoyed economically, climbing a mountain is to be practiced slowly, Learning and
Practice of religion ought to be acquired deliberately and Exercise should be
practiced smoothly. Similar to Abhyanga, Vyayama also has effect on almost all
systems of the body. By this the force and rate of heart beat enhances, enhances the
circulation of blood. It increases the perspiration, thereby the wastes are excreted.

Nasya which is devoid of any complications and can be administered at any time. It
has effect on mental disorders also. Has effect on both skin and hairs.
Bhojanam (Diet) -To keep oneself fit and healthy diet also play an important role. …
Mind and Skin
More than just a cosmetic disfigurement, dermatological disorders are associated
with a variety of psychopathologic problems that can affect the patient, his/ her
family and society together. A growing field of integrative medicine called “Psycho
dermatology”, addresses the interaction between Mind- and Skin .It is a relatively
new discipline in psychosomatic medicine. Psychiatry is more focused on the
“Internal non visible disease” and Dermatology on the “External visible disease”
The two disciplines are interconnected at the embryonic level through the ectoderm.
The Brain and the skin have many interconnections – the skin has a vast neurologic
and vascular network. Therefore “chemicals made in the Brain in response to stress
travel to the Brain”. Whatever the emotional trigger- Work pressure, relationship,
depression and even stress can even cause these trouble making chemicals, called
neuro peptides to flood your skin. They can cause inflammation, widen blood
vessels; generate excess moisture all of which can exacerbate skin problems. Mind
body relaxation like Yoga, Meditation etc. reduces the flow of neuropeptides leading
to less reactive skin. As the skin is an organ that has a primary function in tactile
receptivity and reacts directly upon emotional stimuli, dermatological practice
involves a psychosomatic dimension.
