Prevent Early Wrinkles with an Ayurvedic Diet!
I am sure you have heard about the multitude of benefits from Collagen. It’s sold often in pharmacies, supermarkets, health food shops … collagen bars, collagen powders, collagen drinks.
So, what is collagen? 
It is a protein that makes up a large part of our skin, our ligaments, muscles, tendons, and other connective tissue. Its even located in our blood 
This protein gives our skin the beautiful looks of youth, elasticity and firmness. In a healthy and balanced state, collagen will naturally repair and rejuvenate itself in our bodies.

Collagen is known for its beauty related benefits on the skin, hair health, nail health, preventing ageing, etc. However all of the marketed products including collagen are derived from animal products which may cause conflicting views for vegetarians and vegans.
So, how can you ensure sustainable beauty care as a vegetarian or vegan? Ayurveda offers ancient knowledge regarding beauty and rejuvenation therapy. These suggestions generally do not derive from animal products. Depleted collagen often results in arthritis issues, hair loss, joint pain and osteoporosis etc. From an Ayurvedic perspective we can relate this depletion from one aspect to depleted Sleshaka Kapha. Sleshaka Kapha is known for its lubricaiton of the joints and connective tissues.
Again, in a balanced state our bodies naturally produce and replenish collagen within the body. From an Ayurvedic perspective we will address the need to create balance within the body through Ayurvedic diet, herbs, lifestyle and skin products. See a few recommendations below.
