BENEFITS OF SHANKHPUSHPI

1. Anti-wrinkle

Aging, dry skin, and a lack of hydration all contribute to wrinkles. It is caused by an exacerbated Vata, in accordance with Ayurveda. The use of Shankhpushpi oil improves skin hydration and controls wrinkles. Due to its Rasayana (rejuvenating) effect, it also aids in reducing skin cell aging and acts as an anti-aging agent.

2. Acne

Acne and pimples may be more common in those with Kapha-Pitta dosha skin. According to Ayurveda, an aggravation of Kapha increases sebum production which clogs the pores. As a result, both whiteheads and blackheads develop. Additionally, red papules (bumps) and pus-filled inflammation are signs of Pitta exacerbation. Acne can be managed with Shankhpushpi application. It stops the creation of too much sebum, clears clogged pores, and lessens inflammation. This is as a result of its Sita (cool) and Ropan (healing) characteristics.

3. Premature greying and hair growth

Due to Shankhpushpi's Rasayana (rejuvenating) effect, hair growth, hair loss, and premature greying are all prevented.

4. Wound healing

Shakhpushpi reduces swelling, speeds up wound healing, and restores the skin's natural elasticity. Additionally, it aids in lowering skin inflammation. This is because of its Sita (cool) and Ropan (healing) qualities.

5. Poor Memory

Shankhpushpi's Medhya (increases intelligence) attribute helps with memory and attention.

6. Insomnia

Shankhpushpi's Vata balancing and Medhya qualities aid to alleviate stress and insomnia by calming the mind.
