Abstract

Skin aging and disorders are related to environmental factors, genetic makeup, nutrition, and other factors, but Ayurveda emphasized the dietary etiologies for all types of skin disorders and skin aging. The concept of Jara(aging) is entirely dependent on the Prana(life energy force for circulation and respiration) supported by ojus and tejos. The digestive power (Agni) is very vital for skin disorders and aging. Undigested food residue(Ama) influences the occurrence of diseases in the body; like that, it influences skin aging and skin disorders. The particular rasa(taste dominant), dietary items, and dieting procedure for genesis skin disorders are described. Food items included or avoided in a diet for a particular skin condition are also narrated. There is a positive correlation between diet and metabolism in skin aging and disorders. Therefore, fruit and vegetable consumption, along with other polyphenols containing food items, exercise, and pranayama may represent the healthiest and safe method in order to maintain youthful skin and can prevent skin disorders aging.
