 
See Also | The Five Limbs (Panchanga) of BalaListen, Virachamunda, to the characteristics of jiva. It is supreme, whole, eternal, consisting of nothing, stainless. It is the ultimate atomic particle, the Natha, it is supreme Shiva, all pervading, it is above all, it is Hamsa, the soul of Shakti. It is the mind, the breath, the buddhi and the chitta, residing in the inspiration and expiration of the breath of all living beings. - Kaulajnananirnaya, VI, 4-6.
This is the first English translation of the five limbs, or panchanga, of the aspect of Goddess known as Bala Tripura. Bala means "girl", this aspect of the Red Goddess is the most highly erotic of Her three aspects, as the 1,000 names show. Bala is an adolescent woman, Tripurasundari a mother, and Tripurabhairavi a woman in whom menstruation has ceased.
Bala's root mantra is aim klim sauh and variations of this mantra are used in her daily ritual. Many tantrik devatas have manuals structured along similar lines. The devata is first visualised as residing in the heart, then later drawn out through the breath and "placed" in the yantra. On installation or invocation, various ritual accessories are offered, and the 1,000 adjectives (names) of the particular deity recited. The Devi is then drawn 'back' into one's heart, and the ritual concludes with various elements "cleaning up" the area of worship.
The five limbs of a ritual panchanga are Patala, Paddhati, Kavacha (Armour), 1,000 Names, and Stotra. The first gives the unfolding of the mantra, usually in coded form. It also describes the meditation image and the yantra of the devata, as well as various optional rites. The second limb describes the ritual worship, including worship of the avarana or attendants of the devata, which are really aspects of the god or goddess. The kavacha is an "armour" used to ward off evil and which may either be recited or written and then worn on the body. The fourth limb consists of the 1,000 names, of which there are very many sets in the tantrik literature. The fifth, the Stotra, is the hymn of praise of the ishtadevata, the tutelary devata of a tantrik sadhaka. This particular manual comes from the Devirahasya, a large work which contains many other panchangas relating to different aspects of Shiva and Shakti.
Bala Patala
Seated on Kailasa Summit is Bhagavan, spouse of Uma, the God with a crescent Moon as His diadem, whose eyes are Sun, Moon and Fire, wearing an elephant skin, mighty, worshipped by the Gods, bowed to by hosts of Gandharvas, mighty Yakshas, and by gods and demons.
Having recited mantra, and having read sacred texts, rising up and bowing, Bhairavi questions the Lord.
Shri Bhairavi - Lord God, Ocean of Compassion, who reveals all Agamas, by Your grace I have heard of all the Vidyas, O Sureshvara. Now I would like to hear of Bala Tripurasundari. If this can be spoken of, declare the Vidya, O God Maheshvara.
Shri Bhairava -- Listen Devi, I speak of the five Limbed Manual (Panchanga) desired by sadhakas, (which consists of) Patala, Paddhati, Armour, 1,000 Names and King of Hymns. O Mahadevi, listen one-pointedly. Parameshani, Shri Bala is the Goddess bestowing both enjoyment and Liberation.
O Mahadevi, one may give away power, dominion, house and wealth. All these may be given away, but one should never give away this thing which is the best of all. In the Kali Yuga there is no other Vidya resembling this Vidya. It is said that Shri Bala Tripura gives siddhi quickly.
It should be passed on to peaceful disciples, and to those devoted to their Guru. One should not give this Vidya to the undevoted, O Parameshvari.
I will speak of the unfolding of the mantra, yantra, prastara, meditation, and the rites of the Devi, O Maheshvari. First, Deveshi, listen to the unfolding of the Mantra which bestows all fruit. It should be carefully concealed, whoever knows it becomes successful (Siddha).
One should place "Shakti" (Sauh) at the end of 'Vagbhava" (Aim) and "Kamaraja" (Klim), ending this with Namah. O Devi, this is the eight lettered Mantra of Bala. (There are) no obstacles, or impurity or restrictions attached to it, it causes one to become a Siddha, O Mahadevi, and is the King of Mantras in the Kali Yuga.
Dakshinamurti is the Seer, Pankti is the Metre for pronunciation, the Goddess if Tripura-Bala, "Aim" is the Seed, "Sauh" the Shakti. "Klim" is the linchpin. Its application is towards Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha.
One should do (six fold) Nyasa on the head, on the mouth, in the heart, on the feet, on the navel lotus and in all the limbs, O Devi.
One should do Nyasa according to the rules doing Seer, Hand and Limb nyasa, using the bijas of the mantra, O Maheshvari. Now I speak of Her meditation, advantageous for all sadhakas:
I meditate on Bala, clothed in red, with a digit of the Moon as Her ornament, effulgent as the rising sun, with three eyes, holding a book and a rosary, showing the gestures of removing fear and giving, seated on a red lotus.
Having meditated in this way one should repeat the mantra which gives success. A pure sadhaka should prepare (the mantra by reciting it) 300,000 times.
Now I speak of the unfolding of the Yantra of Mahadevi, the Giver of both Enjoyment and Liberation, which is very hard to get to know of for any sadhaka.
Bindu, triangle, eight triangles, eight petals, adorned with three circles and enclosed in an earthsquare. This circle of Bala (and Her attendants) is the Destroyer of Pain, O Mountain-Born One!
One should worship the Shaktis of the pedestal when inscribing the Yantra. The pedestal Shaktis are Will (Iccha), Knowledge (Jnana), Action (Kriya), Lotus-Girl (Kamini), Giver of Sexuality (Kamadayini), Sexual Pleasure (Rati), Loving the Bliss of Sexual Pleasure (Ratipriyananda), and Mind-Born (Manonmani) lastly. One should place these Shaktis round the pedestal using the mantra "Vyoma Parvata Tartiya Sadashiva Mahapadam Pitha Padmasanaya Namah". This is the pedestal Mantra. Having put, in order, these 16 syllables around the image (Yantra) one should recite the root mantra.
One should invoke Devi and worship Her with the ritual accessories according to the rules. Having invoked the desired Devi in the centre of the yoni, one should worship in the triangle, in a similar way Sexual Love (Rati) on the left, Pleasure (Priti) on the right, and Mind-Born (Manobhava) at the apex. One should worship the six Limbs inside the yoni (i.e. central triangle) starting from the South East.
Outside the central yoni one should worship, from the East, in a clockwise direction, the Arrow-Devis. In the eight yoni-triangles one should worship the eight Shaktis called Beautiful Bhaga (Bhaga=female sexual organ), Bhaga, Nectar of Bhaga, Bhaga adorned with Flowers, Primordial Sexual Pleasure, The Flower of Sex, the Girdle of Sex, the Bliss of Sexual Love - these are the eight Shaktis.
In the filaments of the lotus one should worship Brahmi and so forth, and in the petals themselves the (eight) Bhairavas. One should also worship, in the petal tips, from the East in a clockwise direction, the Sacred Sites called Kamarupa, Malaya, Kaulagiri, Cauhara, Kulantaka, Jalandhara and Oddyana -- the eighth being Devikuta.
In the bhupura one should worship in the cardinal directions Heruka, Tripurantaka, Vetala, Agnijihva, Kalantaka, Kapalini, Ekapada, Bhimarupa, Mala and Hatakeshvara. (Also) in the directions one should worship Indra and the others with the (various) weapons.
Outside of this, in the directions, one should worship Vatuka, the Yoginis, Kshetrapala and Ganesha. In the intermediate points one should worship the (eight) Vasus, the Sun, and Shiva. One should worship all the elements and then the weapons. First of all one should meditate on Bala in the embrace of Kameshvara in the centre; A Kaula should worship using the five makaras according to the rules of Kaulachara.
The sadhaka skilled in the mantra should worship Mahadevi in the bindu (of the yantra) with scent, unhusked rice, flowers, incense, flame and liquid oblation. This is called Layanga.
Listen to the rituals, O Parvati. Whosoever skilled in mantra who does this gains a share of success swiftly, it is certain. The (eight rites) are Paralysing, Deluding, Killing, Attracting, Subjugating, Driving Away, Peace Making and Healing.
This sadhana is the Quintessence, invisible, Dear One. One should not give this to those undevoted to Devi, and should keep it concealed and secret from pashus.
(1) On the first day of the Waxing Moon, Devi, having bathed and done the daily rite, one should go to a deserted place at midday. There one should do sacrifice by a 10th part using ghee, curd and so forth. One should do oblation to the Goddess, then immediately one is free to paralyse, this is certain.
(2) At dusk, in the cremation ground, one should recite (the mantra) on a seat made of owl feathers. One should do much sacrifice and by a tenth part of this give ghee, wine, grain, shoots and lotus seeds. Then one may delude the world.
(3) Having gone in the morning or at night to the place of Ghosts and Elementals (Cremation Ground), the mighty Hero should recite the Vidya of 16 letters in front of a cremation pyre. The mantrin should do much sacrifice of ghee, fragrant gums and hairs of chandalas in the burning funeral pyre. (In this way) one kills an enemy.
(4) On an eighth day of the Bright Fortnight the sadhaka should recite (the mantra) in secret. Having recited a myriad times using the root Vidya, and having meditated, O Charming One, one should do sacrifice of a 10th part giving ghee, lac, flowers, menstrual blood, wheat and bamboo shoots. (Then) one may attract women.
(5) Dearest, on a ninth day the ritualist, having bathed and done the daily rite, should offer much ghee, fish, eggs, lotus, pearls, and hair of deer. Doing sacrifice in this way, O Lady of Heroes, one is able to make people slaves.
(6) On the fourth Lunar Day of a Dark Fortnight one should recite the mantra at the arising of the Moon, Dearest. On a riverbank, seated in Shirsha Asana, the Hero should recite the mantra many times. One should sacrifice a 10th part of this, giving ghee, blue lotus, cloves, black pepper and tamarind. Then one may cause an enemy to flee.
(7) On a fifth night, O Deveshi, one should recite the mantra a myriad times. One should sacrifice a 10th of that and should offer ghee, fish, sugar cane and camphor - thus one may calm down great disputes, wars and adversities. (8) On a great eighth day (of the dark Lunar fortnight) a person1 having bathed, should do sadhana on the best of pedestals. The hero should recite (the mantra) 10,000 times and should sacrifice a 10th part of that, giving ghee, camphor, grapes, many betel leaves, goat flesh and blood. Then one causes healing to occur.
This thing which is secret is the form of all, my very Self, O Deveshi, Secret. One should conceal it in the Kali Yuga. On Sundays etc. one should recite the mantra 10,000 times. Then one becomes Siddha, there should be no doubt about this! This celestial chapter is revealed because of Your love. Hide it! It should be concealed, hide it as You would conceal Your own yoni.
Shri Bala Paddhati
Now I will declare the Paddhati in its spoken form - the essence of Shri Bala Tripureshvari, the Giver of Happiness. Having done morning acts those who are devoted should worship Devi. This puja is fruitless for those impure at the Three (Twilights).
Extending from the base of the spine to the top of the head, like a lotus stem, a brilliant, white, slender thread, one should meditate on Devi, Giver of Subjugation, Great Good Fortune and Eloquence; as surrounded by a swarm of black bees; with braided hair garlanded with flowers; with a face marked with a jewel as her forehead mark; her mouth sweetly smiling, wearing a beautiful diadem; her head adorned with pearls and diamonds; with a slender crescent Moon as crest gem; her three bright eyes effulgent as a swarm of sapphire bees; with jewelled coiled earrings, the chief of which is as bright as the Sun: ornamented with shining pearls and gems of dazzling appearance; around her throat a necklace like a line of bees, beautiful and bedazzling, surpassing nectar in its beauty; adorned with beautiful and resplendent garments like the white water of the Ganga in flood; beautiful, sinuous graceful limbs, scented and sweet like creeping vines; covered in gold and by other precious metals, and by glistening jewels, glittering and bright; her beautiful feet and toes like red lotuses with their petals; as bright as the circle of the starry realm (Nakshatras); adorned with pearl-like blossoms; with her lower left hand holding a book and her upper right hand dispelling the fears of sadhakas; in her two right hands holding a rosary and bestowing boons; She herself being of the dazzling whiteness of snow, milk or the Moon; gracious and charming.
Armour of Shri Bala Tripurasundari
Shri Bhairavi said - Devadeva, Mahadeva, expander of devotees who please You, the Armour of Devi is hidden. Speak of this to Me!
Shri Bhairava -- Listen Devi, I speak of the Armour difficult to get even for gods. One should never reveal this high secret, which gives the wished for siddhi to a sadhaka. The Seer of the Armour is Dakshinamurti. Pankti is the Metre. The Devi is Tripurasundari. Its application in puja is the four aims of Mankind. She wears a pearl diadem, coiled earrings, armlets, a necklace of gems; pearl finger rings; effulgent bracelets and other jewels; a golden hip girdle, glittering anklets; her navel is adorned with a ruby, and she has a bracelet of shells, with a Kala of the Moon on her forehead. She holds a noose, a goad, a book and a rosary in her upper hands and the other hands.
May the Vagbhava Aim protect my head, and the Kamaraja Klim my heart! May the Shakti Bija Sauh protect me in my navel, genitals and feet!
May Aim Klim Sauh protect my face, and Bala shield me in my siddhi! May Ha Sa Ka La Hrim Sauh Bhairavi shield my throat, and may Sa Ka La Sundari shield me in the region of the navel!
May Mahatripurasundari shield my brow, and the point between my eyes! Subhaga protect my forehead! Bhaga shield my throat! Bhagodevi protect my heart! Bhagasarpini, shield my belly!
Bhagamala, shield my navel! Manobhava, protect my penis! May the auspicious Lady, the Queen of Queens, the Mahadevi, shield my anus!
Mother of the Cosmos (Jagad Ambika), form of Consciousness, protect my feet! Narayani, protect me at night! Shubhankari shield me in all my actions!
May Brahmani protect me in the East, and Vaishnavi in the South! May Varahi protect me in the West, and Maheshvari in the North! May Kaumari protect me in the South East, and Mahalakshmi in the South West! May Chamunda protect me in the North West, and Indrani in the North East!
Mahamaya, protect me in Water! Sarvamangala, shield me in Earth! Varada, protect me in Aether! Bhuvaneshvari, protect me everywhere!
This Armour is called "Names of the Goddess" and is hard to obtain! The pure person with concentrated mind should arise and recite it at dawn.
Whoever does it knows no fear or disease. Nor is he afraid of death or anxious about sin. He is never poor, nor is he vanquished by death. He dwells in the realm of Shiva, O Devi. I say to You that this is most certainly true.
O Auspicious One, whosoever should recite this Armour having not been initiated into Shri Vidya gains no fruit, but is struck by lightning.
The 1,000 Names of Bala
Shri Devi - Shri Natha Shankara, Bliss-Maker, speak! O Lord God, how may one obtain the yoga-power of full devotion, O Ocean of Wine 1 If You have compassion for Me Shambhu, reveal that which is well-hidden!
Shri Bhairava -- By devotion to Shakti one comes to know the entire vermilion ocean of Bliss, the hidden essence of Bala. Dear One, I will speak to You of Her 1,000 Names. One should well hide it, O One with Thighs like Plantain Stems, it is revealed out of deep and amorous affection for You. Whoever meditates on how Devi is hymned immediately gains the whole mass of happiness, and is the cause of Knowledge.
(Of this 1,000 Name-Hymn of Shri Bala Sundari, Bhargava is the Seer, Anushtubh is the Metre, Shri Bala Tripura is the Devata. Aim is the Seed, Sauh is the Shakti, Klim the linchpin. The application by reading it are the four aims of Mankind.
Rishi Nyasa :Hail to Bhargava the Seer on the head; Hail to Anushtubh the Metre on the mouth; Hail to Shri Bala the Devata in the heart; Hail to the Seed Aim in the genitals; Hail to the Shakti Sauh on the feet; Hail to the Linchpin Klim on the navel; Hail to the Application on all the limbs.
Aim hail to the thumbs; Klim obeisance to the index fingers; Sauh hail to the middle fingers; Aim hail to the ring fingers; Klim hail to the little fingers; Sauh to the front and backs of the hands hail Thus the heart and other Nyasa are related. Meditation-)
Wearing red clothes, with a Kala of the Moon as Her ornament, effulgent as the rising Sun, holding Book and Rosary, bestowing boons and banishing fears, I meditate on Bala on the Red Lotus.

[1,000] Thus the celestial cause of Supreme Bliss has been declared, the Salt Vermilion Waves of Bala giving all satisfaction. O Parvati, of all sets of 1,000 names in the tantras, this is the quintessence.
Dearest, this hymn may be recited at all times, at night, and during puja in the morning. When Bala, the Giver of All Dominion and Happiness, is pleased, She bestows jewels of various kinds, wealth, and (answers all) requests. O Parameshvari, She bestows whatever desires a person has, and sons and daughters are born if one wishes it.
Enemies are destroyed, ailments are alleviated. If in a difficult situation, things are eased, medicines are bestowed on one. This bestows beautiful palaces, pictures, and all dominion. For a person, agriculture bestows rich harvests, and the heavenly cow seems to dwell for him on earth. His country prospers, and his state is not afflicted with calamities. Great elephants shower him with streams of nectar.
He dwells happily in palaces, surrounded by gems and horses. His offspring become rulers, free from strife, ministers of the king. Those known to him please him, he becomes noble and very beautiful, wealthy, always in a good position, alluring. Spoken speech and verse musically flow from him, like the Ganges in flood. He becomes able to expound the various meanings of various verses, becoming skilled in the entire essence of all, successful, his speech like gracious blossoms.
Shastras unknown to him are constantly revealed. Those with faults who would attack him become fearful, they sing adoringly of him, like slaves before a king. Swords and missiles hurt not his limbs. Women of all classes become completely subjugated by him. Poison becomes like wine-nectar for him. The host of opponents are paralysed, and his enemy crushed, if the knower of Yoga should continually practise for a period of nine nights.
If he should recite day and night, without idleness, he becomes peaceful of mind, and all created things in all the worlds become subject to him, there is no doubt of it.
If one should perform the yoga continually for six months, one becomes the (very essence of) Yogamaya, without question. Whosoever reads this ultimate hymn whilst meditating on Kamakala has women in a state of subjugation seeking him, intoxicated with sexual desire, beautiful, mad with lust, with beautiful enraptured eyes. He knows satiety of love through feminine desire, in this act of subjugation.
On a fortunate day, having written the yantra of Devi on birch-bark, colouring it with rochana, kumkum, lac, red dye, or sunflowers, making the womb of the yantra (=triangle) of gold or silver hue, very alluring, one should awaken Bala, having worshipped and established Her. If one should then carry this on one 's head, throat, shoulder, or near to one's heart or navel, one becomes wealthy, victorious, and gains love.
There is nothing greater than this in the three Worlds for protection, most certainly. Planets, diseases, and so forth, anxieties, are all banished, one gains happiness and health, it is the cause of strength and virility, and destroys cruel elements and enemies.
It gives sons, daughters, increases a host of qualities, gives wealth and grain. In whichever city this best of sadhaka dwells, whilst bearing Her, wealth is gained. In whichever dwelling this stotra is placed and written out, O Varanana, there I - Shiva, Hari and Kamala always dwell, and it is as if all the sacred waters spring from this place.
If the best of sadhakas should recite and read this devotedly he knows Knowledge, Bliss and Unity. O Deveshi, by reading this hymn, one gains the fruit of worship. One should recite it very carefully having established oneself in the six fold Nyasa. In the best of all tantras is the puja of Bala. There the 16 letters are the greatest thing. This, the best of all hymns, is found there.
O Sundari, one should never give this to those who are not pupils, the impure, fraudulent, indolent, who make no efforts, the undevoted, those deficient of Vishnu bhakti, the unstable or the stupid. It should be given to those who are devoted, as it is the cause of liberation, and augments devotion. O Varanana, whilst engaging in sexual intercourse (Latayoga), one may read the hymn. One becomes like the Aeon Creeper (Kalpalata), and the fruit of one's desires are achieved.
If a sadhaka should steadily recite this whilst in Latayoga, offering blossoms to the gazelle-eyed (partner), he is blessed with the results of 100 sacrifices (Yajna). O Deveshi, Brahma and the other (devatas) worship his feet, he himself becomes like Shiva -- that discriminating person who is attached to devotion to Bala. He becomes one with the Bliss of the Absolute, Jyotsna, in the state of Sadashiva.
Shri Bala Stotra
Shri Bhairava said - Parvati, now I speak of the Hymn of Devi Bala. Having heard the secret Panchanga, one should always conceal it.
(Dakshinamurti is the Rishi of this stotra-mantra of Shri Bala Tripurasundari; Pankti is the Metre; Shri Bala Tripurasundari is the Devata; Aim is the Bija; Sauh is the Shakti; Klim is the Kilaka; its application when reciting it is pleasing Shri Bala.
(Meditation:)
Like the coloured red rays of the Sun shining brightly through red dust, the colour of the Japa rose, holding book, dispelling fear, and in Her other hands giving boons and holding a fully blossomed white water lotus. Thus one should establish in one's heart the eternally beautiful form Bala.
One should recite Aim, O Tripura Bhavani. One becomes greater than God or Guru, and has dominion and so forth of the partner of the Lord of the Mountains.
Within the course of one day, one should recite the King of Your Mantras known as the triple syllable Kamaraja, that of Kameshvari. The person initiated in Kula should worship the earthly and most beautiful and alluring courtesan.
One should recite Sauh, O Tripura, Mother of the three Worlds! You Who Manifest, Play, and bring all to Completion, the core of the Absolute (Brahmapada), Self-Existent! One should worship in the rectangle, the circles, the eight petalled lotus, within the city of the lotus of six petals, worshipping Bala in the Bindu Pitha, in order to become greater than Shiva.
Whosoever should recite this hymn of Tripura, which consists of mantra, at night or at dawn, becomes garlanded (praised) on earth, and in three days becomes equal to Shukra, Saura and Lakshmi.
Thus this stotra of Devi Bala, consisting of ultimate Mantra, is revealed. One should not give it to the undevoted, and should conceal it as if it were Your own yoni.

Body Skin Care
Body Skin Care
Download free e-book about acne and pimple remedy
Fair , healthy and glowing skin attracts everybody's attention. Ayurveda has many solutions to have a fair , healthy and glowing skin.
According to ayurveda skin has seven layers . When imbalanced doshas affect these layers different type of skin diseases arise. Doshas may get imbalanced in body and locally on skin.
Vata dosha is dominant in skin . The qualities of vata dosha are Cold, Light, Dry, Rough, Hard and Mobililty.
When vata dosha gets aggravated the skin becomes dry, cracked, rough, dark, dull, lifeless, fissured and scaly.
As vata dosha is only one dosha which has a capacity to move in nuke and corner of body and also has a deeper penetrating power. Vata when get imbalanced vitiates other to doshas i.e pitta and kapha.
Ayurvedic facial treatment kit
A complete ayurvedic approach to treat your facial skin at home
Treat pimple, acne, wrinkles, black circles black patches at home.
Now a naturally smooth, fair and glowing skin is yours.
When vata vitiates pitta the skin will get rashes, burning sensation, eruptions and other allergic manifestations. The sweat will have a bad odor .
When kapha gets vitiated due to imbalanced vata oil secretion increases, acne and pimples erupt. The skin becomes dull and luster less.
For a healthier skin the vata should be always in normal balanced condition. The balanced vata keeps all other tissues and remaining two doshas in healthy condition. The imbalanced vata vitiates the tissues of skin and leads numerous skin problems.
There are two ways to balance vata and maintain a healthy body skin.
1.
Massaging body with medicated oil.
2.
Expelling toxins regularly which get accumulated in body .
Benefits of Oil massage .
Massaging body daily with ayurvedic herbal oil has innumerable benefits. This process is called as “Abhyanga". In great ayurvedic classic Ashtanga Hridaya it the benefits of herbal oil massage has been mentioned as follows.
" Abhyanga aachare nityam sa jara- shrama – vataha | Drushtihi prasada pushtyaahu swapna sutwak daadarya krit ||”

Treatment for Pimple, acne, moles, dark circles:-
Balance your doshas by adopting the modified diet and life styles. Take rejuvenating herbal drinks .
Apply a face pack containing
masoora, kushta, kaaliyaka etc later
Following this procedure for seven days makes your face pimple ,acne and dark circle free.
Accumulation of toxins in body which affect the skin:
The inner physiological processes like digestion, metabolism, elimination of waste products etc directly affect the beauty of skin.
The process of digestion is carried out by agni or fire which is present in our digestive system.
(Agni is the body fire, which is responsible for transformation of one substance to another. It breaks down the food substances, eliminates toxins and wastes, maintains body temperature, and resists the invasion of microbes by maintaining strong body immunity.
The body fire, which is assisted by balanced doshas, digests the food completely to form Pakwa Anna rasa (the liquid form of food which is completely digested by digestive enzymes), which is ready to get absorbed by body tissues. According to ayurveda Pakwa Anna Rasa nourishes the body and its components to keep the body devoid of diseases. But when body fire is impaired there will be an incomplete digestion of food forming Apakwa Rasa (indigested food). The indigested food fails to nourish the body components leading to lowered body resistance. Due to indigestion toxins start accumulating in body.)
An unhealthy diet and life style imbalance doshas and the imbalanced doshas impair agni. Due to impaired agni toxins accumulate in body. These accumulated toxins affect the health of skin and the skin loses its luster and glow, acne and pimples start appearing, wrinkling of skin starts in an early age. Hence a well nourished diet, a healthy life style and regular detoxification is very important to keep our skin healthy.
Detoxification at home
The herbs amalki , haritaki, and vibhitaki can be used for detoxification. They act as body cleansers.These herbs when used in proper proportions expel toxins , which have accumulated in body.This herbal combination also act as a best rejuvenator.

It is thought, the saponin glycosides might be responsible for inotropic effects of Terminalia, while the flavonoids and OPCs provide free radical antioxidant activity and vascular strengthening. A dose-dependent decrease in heart rate and blood pressure was noted in dogs given with Terminalia intravenously. No toxicity has been documented.

Coronary flow was measured on the isolated perfused rabbit heart after administration of different doses of the Terminalia arjuna extract ( 1 to 1024 micro gm ) at time 1,3 and 5min. The results show coronary flow was significantly enhanced with the higher doses of the extract. The results show antianginal activity of Terminalia Arjuna NSL. 2.Effect of Terminalia Arjuna on coronary flow, an experimental study. Bhatia J.; Bhattacharya, S. K.; Mahajan, P.; Dwivedi, S.
