24 January 2019Ayurveda AfricaSecrets of Africa’s EastOne of my New Year’s resolution is to take better care of my skin. Too busy and frugal for spa facials, my goal is to find all-natural products that can be used at home, convenient and affordable. ??Washing my face more often with the best products will begin to make up for the many years that I’ve neglected to take care of acne scars and an overall uneven complexion. Taking care of one’s skin, thus improving your health is a tradition that dates back thousands of years. ?Ayurveda and Yoga, birthed from the womb of India, both are identical in its pursuit of good health, differ only in its approach. Ayurveda is the ancient science behind the body’s ability to function, measured by the practice of yoga. It addresses a person’s diet, exercise regimen and even choice of personal care products; anything that goes in or on the body.At the root of Ayurveda are the three categories or “doshas” that people fall within: Vatta, Khapha and Pita. According to one’s dosha, diet, exercise and even skin regiments may be prescribed. For example, my dosha is Vatta, which means that I need to make a more conscious effort to increase daily fluids, to work against irregular eating habits and in terms of skin, avoid products with a drying effect, for example rubbing alcohol. Matching your base in accordance to your dosha is a unique way to blend Ayurvedic principals with East African health and beauty products. Thus, a great combination to add to my daily facial cleansing.?Abish is a seed extracted from a legume native to Africa and India. When stripped of its shell, it provides nutrients to the skin and works much like a walnut-like paste in that the skin is exfoliated with each use. Abish is the Ethiopian word for what Westerners refer to as Fenugreek, a supplemental seasoning often found in cooking recipes. However, for the purposes of healthy skin, it can be ground into a paste for a facial mask. One of the supplementary benefits of Abish or Fenugreek, when digested, is that it lowers a person’s blood pressure, cholesterol, controls sugar levels and minimizes heart disease.? Therefore, using Abish as a seasoning is a smart and healthy choice for the body and is equally beneficial to the face.?Abish seeds are also full of Vitamin A, needed for the repair of damaged skin pores. In addition, using facial products with Abish or Fenugreek removes dirt and bacteria from pores allowing for a natural glow. Working as an astringent, its rough dexterity refines skin. Incorporating the use of Abish as part of a daily routine leads me to my next new habit of 2019 –?Weekly Honey Masks?An excellent base for fellow Vatta (s) would be honey, blending it thoroughly with the Abish.Don’t know your Dosha? Here’s a link to an online quiz: wine and beer are many of the signature Ethiopian products emerging from a deep?appreciation for the golden royal jelly. Applying honey on the face mixed in with a blend of Abish, allowing it to set for 20 minutes, and then washing the face completely removes blackheads, lightens acne scars and gently nourishes the skin as a moisturizer. Other skin care remedies call for the seed to be mixed in dairy products such as milk and yogurt.Let’s make 2019 a year for careful self-care!Stay tuned for more health tips!Please share with others,EboniCoptic Yogi ................
