Cosmetics
and Ayurveda
The
function of Ayurvedic herbs is to purify skin & eliminate vitiated
Doshas from the body, as they are mainly responsible for skin disorders &
other diseases. Several herbs have been mentioned in Ayurveda, which can be
used to obtain healthy skin & glowing complexion.
Aromatherapy
It
is the use of aromatic essential oils to benefit the body - in emotional and
physical health and beauty. Science has discovered that our sense of smell
plays a significant role in our overall health. Essential Oils are volatile,
aromatic substances, which have a long tradition of use in natural medicine,
perfume, incense, skin and health care. Using the Essential Oils for
therapeutic purposes is known as Aromatherapy and has been practiced for
thousands of years. Aloe vera, Apricot kernel, Rose hip oil, peach kernel,
Mango and lime aroma,
marigold extract are few of the essential oils Mother
Herbs supply in the manufacturing of cream bases, conditioners, shampoos,
bathing lotions, deodorant and other cosmetics.
An essential oil is inhaled and directed by the olfactory system to the
limbic system of the brain. In turn the brain responds to the particular
scent affecting our emotions and chemical balance. Essential oils are also
absorbed by the skin and carried throughout the body via the circulatory
system to reach all internal organs.
Essential Oils
Essential
oils are widely used in making perfumes to add fragrance to skin care
products, to prevent cold or simply to freshen the air. In baths, foot
baths, or hand baths, to warm or relax cold limbs or, when slightly colder
water is used, to create a stimulating effect, to cool sunburn massage oils
and other skin care oils, to increase blood circulation. By carefully
choosing one or more oils, you can experience beneficial effects promoting
overall health - and even specific targets. Benefits depend upon the unique
nature of each person's response to an aromatic stimulus.

Creams
Creams
are mixtures of oils or fats with water. Since water and oils are not
miscible, it is necessary to add an emulsifying agent that avoids their
separation. Creams are therefore stable emulsions of oils or fats. Medicinal
properties are added to creams when they use or are made with tinctures,
infusions, oil infusions, essential oils or decoction. Creams are permeable
allowing the skin to breathe and sweat. Their water content and some
additional hydrophobic agent like Glycerin promotes the hydration and
cooling of the skin.
