Did you know that cold weather not only gives you dry, itchy, flaky skin, but it actually ages your skin by depleting its friendly bacteria? Enjoy this balanced blend of herbs and plants to hydrate, replenish, and protect your skin against the cold drying impact of Fall and Winter weather. Pacify vyana vata by warming and rehydrating the cell walls; pacify bhrajak pitta through deep intra-cellular moisturization and cooling; and pacify shleshak kapha by relaxing and dilating the circulatory channels. Ideal for all skin types: dry, sensitive, or oily.
With seasonal changes, our doshic imbalances shift to reflect the new temperature conditions. In the Autumn and Winter time, vyana vata, bhrajak pitta, and shleshak kapha can go high,
Vata
Vyana vata gets aggravated in the winter time due to 2 reasons:
our physical circulatory channels shrink due to the cold weather, and end up getting blocked. When they get blocked, moisture and the shleshak kapha in our cells is unable to move. When shleshak kapha is not free to circulate it cannot complete its task of lubricating the body;
drying cold wind creates even more dryness externally, killing the friendly bacteria that live in the skin, further depleting our skin, and bringing about premature wrinkling and sagging.
In this Tridoshic lotion, Vaidya uses many aromatic channel opening essential oils, such as: Peppermint; Camphor; Ajwain; Sage; Rosemary. These help dilate the circulatory channels, so the Shleshaka can move freely through. In addition, Vaidya uses Aloe and Vegetable glycerin to further moisturize the body from within, without clogging the channels. These ingredients help keep vyana vata in check.
Pitta
Bhrajak pitta gets aggraveted in the cold weather, particularly for pitta type predominant people, because the circulation of heat also gets obstructed due to the shrunk channels. Due to the blocked or poor circulation, their skin becomes more sensitive to the sun. This is further aggravated by the lack of shleshak kapha, which is also slowed down or blocked due to lack of circulation. Vaidya has added lemon to his lotion to help reduce photosensitivity to help with pitta sensitive skin. In addition, the Aloe, Vegetable glycerin, and the Neem, all 3 together, help pacify and nourish bhrajak pitta.
Kapha
Shleshak kapha gets blocked and accumulated due to shrunk channels. In order to be balanced, it needs plants and herbs with agneya, or warming, prabhava, - ultimate action. Vaidya has added Holy Basil, whose mildly warming properties, along with Peppermint, Rosemary, Calendula, and Citronella, relax our channels to let the shleshak kapha flow through and moisturize and lubricate our channels.
The overall, in-depth cellular nurturing effect and efficacy of this balanced tridoshic lotion helps in long term use. This lotion will get absorbed fast into your skin, traveling deep into your cells, and it will retain, supplying moisture and hydration leaving you with a supple smooth skin. Regular use of the lotion will also help support the immune system of your skin, nourishing all the friendly bacteria by supplying them with prebiotic - Aloe and Vegetable glycerin support their growth. In addition, many of the essential oils used in the formula have scientific research showing their anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties, which makes this lotion great to use on your feet, to help prevent local fungal infections, as well as keep your hands sanitized when you are out and about in the world during “flu season!” Keep the bad bacteria at bay and harness the power of the friendly bacteria for youthful skin!

I wanted a light lotion to use on my hands after hand-washing this winter so I tried this. I thought it would simply make my skin less dry and parched, which it definitely did, but there were two unexpected results that really WOWED me.
1) this was the first time in several years that the skin around my thumbnails didn’t crack during the winter. For those who can relate, this is huge. It has saved me a lot of pain and discomfort.
2) somehow it makes my fingernails stronger, to the extent that manicurists are always telling me what strong nails I have. When I go without using it for a week or so, my nails get a bit on the brittle side. The difference is incredible and unexpected but I’ll take it!
I never want to be without this product. I wish it came in greater quantities!

Love the results but not wild about the fragrance.
