Introduction

Nutrients & micronutrients  for skin

1]Macronutrients (carbohydrates,  proteins and lipids ) and micronutrients (vitamins and nutritionally essential minerals ) work together to maintain the barrier functions of skin in the face of everyday challenges.

2] Nutrients in foods that benefit skin also tend to benefit other body systems and overall health.

3] An anti-aging diet rich in variety of antioxidant-rich, nutrient-dense foods such as; fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes,  nuts, and seeds is the easiest and most gratifying way to protect your skin from the inside out.

4] Antioxidants are chemicals that protect cells by neutralising the effects of factors such as the sun, pollution, wind, temperature, emotions, metabolism and excess oxygen.

5]Common antioxidants are vitamins A, C, E and beta carotene.

6] The special function of antioxidants is to protect your cells by fighting free radicals. They engulf free radical cells, thereby counteracting their attacks and eliminating them from the body.

•Vit A : Reduces wrinkles, increases blood flow, decreases sebum production and treats acne brilliantly, promotes a healthy cellular membrane ,prevents dryness, rebuild skin tissue. e.g. Green leafy vegetables, Carrots, Pumpkin, Sweet potato, Dried apricot, Papaya etc.

•Zinc : Anti-oxidant, improve wound healing, DNA synthesis, and cell division, anti-inflammatory and protects against UV radiation. e.g.   fresh oysters, pumpkin seeds, ginger, nuts, oats, and eggs.

•Vit C: Antioxidant, Anti-inflammatory, reduces  wrinkles  and preventing sagging skin by improving the elasticity, protect from UV rays, wound healing.  e.g. Citrus fruits like oranges, grapefruit, strawberries, cabbage, cauliflower

•Silica :  Reduced skin elasticity, wound healing , vital for healthy skin. Silica deficiency can result in reduced skin elasticity.   e.g.  green beans, strawberries, cucumber, mango, celery, asparagus.   

•Vit  K : Reduces the dark circles.  e.g. Spinach, Peas, cabbage, sprouts, soybeans, Grapes, Kiwi, fish, eggs 

•Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Anti- inflammatory, reduce the risk of skin cancer,  whiteheads,  blackheads. skin repair, because the body cannot produce its own EFAs, they must be obtained through the diet. e.g. cauliflower, spinach, grape leaves, strawberries

•Selenium:  Antioxidant mineral responsible for tissue elasticity,  prevent skin cancer,  protect the skin from damage from excessive ultraviolet light. healing burn injuries, acts as anti-aging, to cure acne, anti-inflammatory.e.g. wheat germ, seafood, garlic, nuts, eggs, brown rice, and whole-wheat bread

•Vitamin E: Antioxidant, moisturizer, prevent skin cancers.  reduces the appearance of wrinkles, and, when applied topically, soothes dry or rough skin, wound healing, anti-aging, effective in sunburn, cleansing agent. e.g. Wheat germ oil, sunflower seeds, sunflower oils, almonds, spinach, peaches, tomatoes, cabbage, asparagus.

ABSTRACT

Medicinal plants mentioned in Charaka Samhita many centuries ago are recorded with complete understanding of various dimension reflected to their usage. Mahakashaya is important source from which we can get various drugs options for day to day practice and can use it effectively in simple manner. Kasahar Dashemani is recommended by Charak in the management of Kasa (cough) Vyadhi (disease). The aim of the present study was to investigate the presence of physicochemical & preliminary phytochemical test of Kasahar Dashemani Choorna (Powder). Pharmacognostic studies of Ayurvedic compound formulation i.e. Choorna (Powder), Kwath (Decoction), etc. ensure standardization parameters which will help and prevents adulterations. Such studies will help to ensures reproducible quality of herbal products which will lead to safety and efficacy of natural products. The present investigation reveals standardization of Kasahar Dashemani Choorna which includes determination of loss on drying, total ash, acid insoluble ash, water extractives, alcohol extractives and T.L.C. The study divulges presence of certain chemical constituents like carbohydrates, saponins, proteins, alkaloid, glycosides, terpenoids, tannin, steroids, flavonoids.
