ABSTRACT

A healthy body always reflects beautiful, glowing skin and hair. The skin is the boundary between our external environment and us. It responds to environmental changes and reflects internal changes in our body. Melasma is the most common pigmentary disorder in society, and 90% of patients are women. In Ayurveda, vyanga is a disease that decreases the glowing complexion of the face. The clinical features of Vyanga are similar to Melasma. Natural cosmetics are more beneficial to our health and more effective than synthetic alternatives, and people today are beginning to demand total natural body care.
