This illustrated
monograph (with 40 colour plates of medicinal plants) describes a novel approach
to understanding the physio-pathology of skin as also its practical application
for beauty care and use in skin diseases. It synchronizes the wisdom of
Ayurveda and Unani-Tibb with present day scientific knowledge in a
dispassionate manner. Utilization of body's own resources and natural products
for healthy glowing skin is the underlying theme. The coverage includes concept
of blood purification, normalization of disturbed elemental balance, use of
plant, animal and mineral origin drugs for cosmetic and dermatological
practice and special chapters on leucoderma and leprosy.
