Enhancing complexion (varnya prabhava) is one of the special properties of ashoka described in the ancient texts of Ayurveda. Ashoka gets this quality from two of its other properties. On the physical level, ashoka is vishasrajit (it removes toxins from the blood). Anything that removes toxins from the blood will naturally help complexion because the health of the skin is directly related to the blood.
Secondly, ashoka helps complexion because its most famous property is to remove grief from the heart. The name, ashoka, in Sanskrit literally means "no grief." "A" means "no" and "shoka" means grief. On a deeper level, "a" in Sanskrit represents consciousness because it is the most fully open sound the mouth can make.
The ashoka tree has a strong connection to consciousness. It is this "a" value of ashoka (its connection to consciousness) which removes grief. When the heart is free of grief, the light of the gem (soul) reflects fully on the face. In this way, ashoka helps to improve complexion from deep within.
Learn three other prabhavas (special qualities) of ashoka in Vaidya Mishra's 26 minute audio lecture: Ashoka - Learn About A Divine Herb For Removing Grief, available for instant download for $0.99. In this lecture you will also learn other important names and physical properties of this famous Ayurvedic herb directly from the Sanskrit verses.
Now you can enjoy ashoka's complexion enhancing property (varnya prabhava), delivered transdermally while you bathe. With this Ashoka Herbalized Soap, you will feel the subtle effect for removing grief right away, and the transdermally absorbed molecules of ashoka will also help to bind toxins in your blood.
Vaidya Mishra's herbalized soaps do not contain any harsh chemicals, preservatives (parabens) or foaming agents (sodium laurel sulphate). Any chemical in the formulation would destroy the subtle properties of this divine herb. In addition, harsh chemicals kill the friendly bacteria on the skin, and these chemicals ultimately make their way into the blood, liver, and other parts of the body. Now you can enjoy a wonderful aromatic soap with none of the detrimental effects of chemicals found in most soaps on the market today
Start your day with a soap that not only cleanses your skin, but helps to clean the light of your soul!

I am relying on all the Ashoka products to help me navigate emotional challenges. Currently using it for grief and trauma support as well as extra emotional flexibility. I use on my belly, spine and heart center. Truly a gift.
