Surya Shanti is one of Vaidya Mishra's best selling-creams, specially for heat-sensitive people (high Bhrajak Pitta) and also during the Summer time when temperatures soar!
Use it whenever you feel hot or your skin is hot is also hot to the touch.
The Sanskrit word, surya, mean "sun." And shanti means "pacification." The Surya Shanti Cream may help pacify heat in the body that has resulted from overexposure to the sun.
This cream may be used as an "Ayurvedic sunscreen;" however, please note: it has not been tested by the FDA and it does not meet the FDA standards nor does it contain the ingredient requirements for sun ray blocking/protection.
It balances bhrajaka pitta, the pitta located in the skin. It helps cool off hot burning sensations on the skin, whether caused by internal toxins, like amavisha, or by sunburn, or by touching hot objects. Because it cools bhrajaka pitta effectively, iyou may apply it on all body parts (including the face) as an aid in shielding from the sun. Try it on a section of your skin and expose to sunlight to see how well it works for you. If you wish to replace your regular sunscreen with Surya Shanti, please not that it will not work the same way, and you may need to reapply several times during exposure. In addition, this cream is not waterproof.
Sunlight heats the skin dramatically. If your skin is cooled by this cream prior to sun exposure, your skin's own natural resistance to sunburn is strengthened. It is also great to apply after sun exposure. Many of our customers have reported that it helps with redness and heat caused by sunburn in just a few minutes. We invite you to test it for yourself.
The formula contains no chemicals or preservatives and delivers deep cooling soma to the skin. It not only cools the skin, but opens the skin's reception to soma in the environment.
This cream will not block the good things you need from sunlight. Your skin will still recieve what it needs to make Vitamin D from sunlight without getting imbalanced by the sun's burning quality. Get Vaidya Mishra's three hour course on Vitamin D to learn more about the importance of how you treat your skin if you want to get maximum Vitamin D from the sun.
If you are a high pitta type, you may experience burning sensations anytime for no apparent reason! This cream can be useful for restoring balance quickly. You may want to apply it on the neck or even the scalp whenever it starts to burn or feel hot. It can also be helpful for cooling the body before sleep.
This product comes in two variations: regular cooling potency (Surya Shanti) and strong cooling potency (Surya Maha Shanti)

I have been hampered by hives and other hot skin issues for the last 5 months. A friend told me about the Surya Shanti cream, which I now apply to hot spots and red bumps that still happen on occasion. The treated skin settles down very quickly and the bumps start to disappear within minutes. It's the best product I have found to treat my fiery skin.

I enjoy putting this wonderful cream on my face and neck. It feels like you are putting real cream on. It is rich but not too rich not giving me any little pimples which I get from oily creams. In the summer it is particularly nice as the humidity in Iowa makes it so you don't want a heavy cream on. Nice mild scent and some sun protection.

I put this on my chest and neck to keep the redness down. I also use it on shoulders, back, etc before going out in the sun for a couple of hours. It seems to do the trick (I always avoid noontime sun, of course).
