Ayurvedic Treatment On Acne, Urticaria and Other Skin Disease (As Well as Overall Protection of the Skin)

Preface The skin is the natural covering of the body. Skin performs different functions - It protects the underlying organs from external factors such as dust, breeze, heat, cold, cosmic rays, etc. The skin is the sense organ of pleasant-painful touch, feeling of high-low temperature. It maintains the body temperature through the medium of sweat. Sunlight helps the skin to manufacture Vitamin D, which is linked to cholesterol because we need cholesterol in our skins cells to make Vitamin D from sunlight. Skin has close bonding with the mind. An angry individual's face becomes red, whereas a terrified individual's face turns white. Continuous worry leads to skin diseases.
