A Gift from the Past ✨
Charaka Samhita’s Eternal Wisdom
"कदली मधुरा स्निग्धा शीतला स्थैर्यकारिणी।
पित्तं वातं च संधार्य बलपुष्टिकरं परम् ॥"
(Charaka Samhita, Sutrasthana Chapter 27)
This Sanskrit verse celebrates the Banana’s Natural properties—sweet, nourishing, cooling, and rejuvenating. According to Ayurveda, Bananas balance the Pitta (heat) and Vata (air) doshas while enhancing strength, vitality, and stability. In modern skincare, these qualities translate into hydration, anti-aging, and calming benefits for the skin.
Today, let’s take this Ayurvedic insight into our modern routines and pamper ourselves with easy DIY recipes featuring ISHVA Banana Powder. Are you ready for glowing, healthy skin? Let’s get started! 💛
