Description
This course will be available On Demand: September 19, 2012

Ayurveda is a major traditional system originated in India that encompasses all aspects of being. It includes total mental, physical and spiritual well being through life style, diet and treatments derived from herbs. It arose in India thousands of years ago; its principles are transferred from generation to generation and substantiation by trial and error. When it comes to skin care, Ayurveda distinguishes between three types of skin. These exhibit different properties and therefore require distinctive care regimen for cure and prevention. It advocates the use of specific mixtures of plant derived compounds to achieve balance in skin health. Nevertheless, when compared to Asian and European plant derived care, Ayurveda has significantly lower research conducted to substantiate traditional care with modern investigations.

With consumers of the personal care market’s growing demand to plant derived natural treatment, this 90-minuteaccredited online training course provides an opportunity to understand Ayurvedic skin care and review the limited research to substantiate it.
