Skin is the first “line of defense” against the outside world, and it’s also a mirror of everything that happens within us. The condition of the skin is a clear indicator of the finest processes taking place in the mind and the body. Skin can tell a person a great deal, and no cosmetics can disguise skin problems. The seventh book of the series talks not only about Ayurvedic methods for treating skin diseases, but also touches on questions of beauty, happiness, and spirituality. It describes the use of both Indian and Chinese herbal preparations and plants from our latitudes. The book is written as simply as possible and is easy to read; it will be interesting not only for doctors and Ayurvedic specialists, but for a wide range of readers as well. Applying this ancient medical system can yield fantastic results. Ayurveda is holistic and universal: it always searches for spiritual causes of illness, uses an individual approach, and emphasizes lifestyle and nutrition. This science was used thousands of years ago, is used more and more now, and will be used in the future. Ayurveda’s strong points include cleansing programs, rejuvenation of the body, treatment of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, blood vessels, joints, skin, and the reproductive sphere.
