The skin works as an organ of elimination, naturally seeking to remove the excess pitta and toxins from the body. Psychologically, acne can have devastating effects on one’s self-image, negatively affecting self-esteem and often leading to depression. Ayurveda offers simple remedies and a natural approach combining a healthful diet, herbs, lifestyle recommendations, pranayama, and meditation to help soothe the body and promote clear, healthy skin.

It is often said that eyes are windows to the soul. But the most visible and expressive part of one’s face has its own set of problems like dark circles, pigmentation and puffy eyes, which when not taken care of could be a real turn off.

Dark circles are mainly caused due to improper blood circulation. Since the skin under the eye is very delicate, the capillaries around the eye are very thin. Blood cells passing through these capillaries often tend to ‘leak’ out into the surrounding skin. Enzymes in the body break these stray red blood cells, releasing blue-black components, which are visible through the thin and transparent under-eye skin.

Bad food habits, lack of sleep, tiredness, stress, heredity, hormonal changes could all contribute to dark circles. Deficiency in iron and vitamin B could also lead to dark circles.

Try these simple home remedies for your dark under eye circles:
*Drink at least ten glasses of water everyday.
* Eight hours of sleep is a must for all of us, especially for people having dark circles under their eyes.
* Close your eyes and cover your eyelids with slices of raw potato or cucumber for 15-20 minutes.
*Grate a cucumber, squeeze to take out its juice and refrigerate. Make a mixture of lemon juice and cucumber juice and apply around the eye for 10-15 minutes.
*Make a paste of grated cucumber, add it to fresh yoghurt and make a uniform paste. Apply it on the dark circles, keep it for 15 minutes and wash it off.
*Apply a paste of turmeric powder with pineapple juice for dark circles under the eyes.
*Applying crushed mint around the eye also helps.
*You can also apply almond oil under eyes.

Some of the worst culprits for causing built up of toxins in our system include:

*Salty foods which cause fluid retention and puffiness.

*Those made with refined sugar which cause increased blood sugar levels.

*Alcohol and caffeine which cause dehydration and lead to sluggish Liver function.

      
For our own body to perform to its maximum potential, toxins need to be flushed out. Fluid intake alone will not help. To purify our system, it is essential to restore essential Vitamins and Minerals. This can be achieved by following a regimen of fruit juices combined with healthy and balanced diet. Select foods with high water content like cucumber, celery, lettuce, etc. Grapefruits are good metabolic stimulants; grapes are high in potassium (essential in maintaining normal Kidney functions), bananas and avocados digest slowly, thus helping to maintain blood sugar in healthy range.

Foods to include for detoxification: 

*Fruits

*Fruit juice

*Vegetables

*Beans and lentils

*Sprouted pulses

*Oats

*Potatoes

*Brown rice

*Live natural yoghurt

*Fresh buttermilk

*Virgin olive oil and natural vinegar

*Garlic, ginger and fresh herbs

*Spices like cinnamon, cumin seeds, ground black pepper, etc

*Green tea

*Water-at least 2 liters a day.
