What are wrinkles telling you about your health?
Botox Freezes. Ayurveda Revitalises.
|
“Instead of paralysing muscles, Ayurveda rejuvenates tissues, supports collagen, and builds inner vitality.” Botox may smooth wrinkles quickly, but it works by paralysing facial muscles and blocking acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter vital for memory, mood, and learning. Research also shows botulinum toxin can migrate beyond the injection site, potentially affecting nerves, muscles, and the brain’s detox pathways. Ayurveda takes a different path: it restores circulation, balances vata dryness in your body, and nourishes ojas, the essence of immunity, radiance, and longevity/ |

Ayurvedic Alternatives to Botox
1. Nasya (Nasal Oil Therapy)
Supports sinus and brain detox pathways, clearing ~ 3 kg of waste each year and leaving skin nourished.
2. Facial Abhyanga (Massage)
Improves circulation, lifts and tones, stimulates collagen-producing cells.
3. Pranayama & Deep Breathing
Lowers cortisol (a collagen-damaging hormone) and pumps lymph for skin repair.
