I Started Using A Customised Ubtan And I've Never Looked Back
In this day and age, we’re all about quick fixes. Got a headache? Pop a pill. Can’t sleep? There’s a medicine for that. Problematic skin? There is a plethora of OTC tubes and products that are full of chemicals to help you out with that. We have forgotten our roots while living in a modern lifestyle. Ayurveda, an ancient Vedic practice, has been followed in our culture for more than 5000 years.
When I visited the Forest Essentials store, I met the in-house Ayurvedic expert, Dr Akanksha
- Vatta: The Vatta dosha is ruled by the air elements. Those who have a Vatta dosha are creative and energetic. Their skin tends to be dry, dehydrated and prone to wrinkles.
- Kapha: The Kapha dosha is ruled by the water and earth elements. Those who have a Kapha
I found out that I am governed by the Kapha dosha and hence we made the ubtan according to this analysis.
2. Making The Mixture:There was a vast variety of Ayurvedic powders to chose from while making a customised ubtan
- 3 tsp of Base Ubtan: This powder was made with a mixture of over 52 herbs and lentils.
- 1/2 tsp of Neem Powder: Neem is a great anti-bacterial that helps unclog pores and keep oily skin at bay.
- 1 tsp of Multani Mitti: This powder is an alkalizing clay which helps control excess oil production in the skin.
After having my very own customised ubtan, I was excited to use this concoction. Dr Akanksha advised me to use this ubtan to wash my face, twice a day. All I had to do was take a little bit of the mixture into the palms of my hands and mix in some rose water to form a paste. I used this paste to cleanse and mildly exfoliate my face.
