Features & Benefits

• • Derangement of the tridoshas, namely Vata, Pitta and Kapha are easily manifested in the skin. Aggravated Kapha causes excesessively oily, thick, scabby discolored skin easily given to infection, itching and allergies. Pitta aggravation results in acne prone, sweaty, ruddy skin easily affected by climatic changes, prone to inflammation and breaking out in pustules and blisters. Vata on the other hand manifests as dry, cracked sallow skin with no resistance to infection and disease.

• • Detoxifying action – With potent ‘vishahara’ drugs as ingredients, it draws out and expels toxins from insect bites and the like, as well as endotoxins. Endotoxins or products of faulty metabolism are often the causal factors for chronic disorders of the skin. Regular abhyanga with Eladitaila remedies this aspect.
