|
| Please tell me how to remove blackheads? | ||
| Himalaya Herbals' Acne-n-Pimple Cream may be helpful for getting rid of pimples and blackheads. | ||
| Do you have anything called a Mud Pack and what is its advantage? | ||
| Purifying Mud Pack is used for oily skin and helps in tightening skin pores. It is launched along with Refreshing Fruit Pack for dry skin. | ||
| I have darkish, patchy skin. Please advise? | ||
| Himalaya's Fairness Cream evens skin tone, making skin soft, smooth & toned. Blood Purifier Syrup & Capsules taken with it also helps skin glow, from within. | ||
| Do you have anything for pigmentation? | ||
| This occurs due
to uneven accumulation of melanin pigment in the epidermis. Sunlight
stimulates melanin production, which manifests as freckles on the
sun-exposed areas. Hyperpigmentation also occurs due to chronic inflammation,
especially following long-term acne and severe-grade acne.
Hyperpigmentation also occurs due to hormonal imbalance in the reproductive age.
|
|
|
| Are there any medicines for dark circles? | ||
| These may be just
due to lack of sleep, heavy work or exertion. Aging also produces
dark circles. Sluggish liver and chronic allergies also produce dark
circles.

| Hair Care | ||
| What is Dandruff? Does Himalaya have anything for dandruff control? | ||
| White scales in the hair on the scalp are called dandruff. Yes, we have Anti-Dandruff Hair Oil and Anti-Dandruff Shampoo. | ||
| I am losing too much hair. How do I prevent hair loss? | ||
| Hair loss occurs due to many reasons. Excessive emotional stress, lack of estrogen hormone in women, strong medication, low level of iron, vitamin B, protein and iodine in the diet are the major reasons. Heredity is also a factor. For good hair care and to prevent hair loss, Protein Shampoo for normal hair may be used along with Revitalizing Hair Oil for scalp massage. For dry/damaged hair, using Protein Shampoo for dry/damaged hair is good, along with Protein Conditioner. For oily hair in dry, winter conditions, Protein Shampoo for oily/greasy hair is advised. These products do not work in hereditary male pattern balding. | ||
| My hair is growing gray. Can you help me? | ||
| Gray hair is a sign of aging, and premature graying of hair is mostly caused by hereditary. The reason that hair turns gray is that the hair follicle looses the ability to pigment the hair with age. The age at which this occurs tends to run in families. Amalaki 1 capsule twice a day, may help to delay the process of graying. Good scalp massage with Revitalizing Hair Oil also helps. |

| Weight Reduction | ||
| How do I lose weight? | ||
| Loss of weight in terms of inches as well as pounds will be observed depending on the amount of superficial or deep-seated fat in the body. Each person's build varies and therefore the responses also vary. Sustained weight loss can only be achieved with a change in lifestyle. Any drastic weight loss is followed by the body gaining it all back over a period of time. What is most effective is to cut your food intake by 40 per cent, drink not less than eight glasses of water a day and go for some form of exercise at least 5 days a week. A brisk walk is something most people are able to stick to on a daily basis. Anything too strenuous is usually not advisable since your body just gets plain worn out and you tend to quit. As for the type of food, eat everything but with a 40 per cent reduction. Denial of certain foods only leads to frustration and eventual lapsing. If obesity is genetic, or due to metabolic disorders, the formulation Ayurslim Capsules may not be helpful. |
