How can SV Ayurveda help with the management of cellulite - if at all? Here’s how: we can delve deep into understanding the metabolism of tissues and associated imbalances, to see how toxic build-up may disrupt the functioning resulting in sagging and cellulite; we can get a full understanding of the fascia that play a key role in the formation of toxic skin layers and how detoxing and nourishing them can address cellulite; we can learn about the key role that “marma” points play in the supply and circulation of pranic energy and how they can hinder or allow for adipose accumulation and cellulite formation;  we can learn how to reset the body’s total metabolism through herbs and spices orally to support the healing and regeneration of healthy skin tissue; we can educate ourselves on the diet that’s best suited to our body’s needs to maintain optimal metabolic rate; and always more. I teach all these things in my current ongoing Cellulite Solutions Course. However, there is more. To fully address cellulite, we also need to have a topical transdermal application. 

This trinity of transdermal creams works together, as a team, for addressing cellulite, even though they may also be used independently one at a time. So, whether you have cellulite, or not, you can adopt the use of these transdermal creams for overall health and beauty.  These are the new SVA formulations:

¬CellulEX – Thermogenic Cream to Mobilize & Evacuate Cellular Toxins 

¬Bio CoQ10 – Synthesizes for optimal absorption and use of the Collagen protein molecules; Improves Skin Tone; Gives Energy to Overall to the Body

¬NutriFascia - Restores Firmness & Elasticity to the Fascia & helps Tone Sagging Skin

4 Properties of CellulEX - Transdermal Thermogenic Support

My new CellulEX formulation targets slow circulation and sluggish channels; it also addresses the build-up of amavisha (toxic free radicals) in the deeper layers of the skin.  The overall purpose of this cream is to create deep and sustained thermogenesis, especially for localized cellulite.   All the ingredients have been well researched by modern science and documented to show restoration to the normal structure of the dermal tissue.  This transdermal cream can be used safely at any stage of cellulite.  The ingredients work in four ways or have four functions.  

1)Open the srotamsi (micro channels) to allow toxins to be evacuated from the cellulite areas and to facilitate nurturing of the damaged tissues.

2)Bind, evacuate, neutralize and prevent amavisha - tissue damaging reactive free radicals.

3)Reduce lipogenesis (excess formation of fat) and promote lipolysis (breakdown of fatty deposits).

4)Restore the normal structure of the dermal and subcutaneous tissues.  

Topical Anti-cellulite Ingredients - 4 major groups

If you are looking to: 

• increase the microvascular flow and open the channels
• prevent or eliminate free-radical formation
• reduce lipogenesis and promote lipolysis
• restore the normal structure of the dermal and the subcutaneous tissue

Then the CellulEX cream is for you. Every ingredient I have used in this formulation carries up-to-date scientific research in terms of the effects it can have on preventing cellulite formation and supporting its reduction (find  complete research references at the end of this article).

Tube Size

Choose between 2 oz., 4 oz.,

Directions:  Perform the steps below twice day.  For best results, start early morning, at the beginning of your day, enhancing and improving circulation so it carries through the day; and then repeat again before going to bed.

Step 1: Perform a local dry massage on your cellulite areas with garshana gloves* (raw silk gloves)   Garshana is a traditional Ayurvedic dry massage that refreshes and stimulates the skin and lymphatic system, enhancing blood circulation and the release of accumulated toxins.  Learn how at Garshana Dry Massage. Garshan gloves will be availabe for purchase from www.chandika.com very soon.

Step 2:  Use the CellulEX cream on the local marma points most related to your specific area of cellulite.  Activation of marma points (energy centers) immediately delivers more pranic energy through the nadis (vibrational channels) to wake-up and re-establish the intelligence governing the skin.

Step 3: Spread a light film of the cream on the local cellulite areas.  Massage in and leave on.  Do not wipe or wash off.
