 Living life in front of the camera was my dream since the day I learned the word ‘dream’ and when the moment finally came to realise all the moments I kept in the folds of my heart it all felt like a fairy tale.

But beyond the enchanting clicks and the flamboyant parties, glittery glamour and flashy life there lies a dark tunnel; the darkness of stress and fear, the anxiety of failure and mishaps, the mistakes of being bedazzled and carried away.

Climbing the ladder of my career, I didn’t even realise when stress and overburden silently crept into my life. I started working 18 hours a day, curbed my eating for getting that zero figure body, cut down on my sleep to accommodate my work and went into the trap of a sedentary life.

My life soon took a toll on my beauty. The rigorous styling of my face and hair wrecked my looks for good.  My hair is scraped back, gelled down, drenched in hairspray and ravaged with heated tools almost daily, making the quality, lengths and scalps suffer the wrath.

As they say, the lens bares the soul and captures it all. Soon, my ignorance gleamed through my face with the skin dull and dry and shoulder covered with flakes. Dandruff made me cautious and the itching made it difficult for me to hold on the pose for long. Many models suffer from scalp issues and dandruff and if not treated properly it can even mean the end of career.

On a bit research, I realised dandruff is a bigger complaint amongst models than dry tresses, lack of volume and split ends. I asked a few colleagues for the possible solutions and the maximum vote was for Ayurvedic treatment.

The combination of Dandrall oil and Brihatri anti-dandruff shampoo was voted as the best cure and indeed it was. My scalp became clear just after the first wash and after a couple of weeks there was no sign of flakes at all. The natural ingredients like tulsi, ginger, neem in brihatri anti-dandruff shampoo works wonder on treating scalp infections and dandruff.

The natural dandruff solutions are widely available at the Ayurcentral stores across the city. Check out their amazing range today!

Our skin is like a little toddler that craves for attention, pampering and coddling; and it never fails to throw a tantrum when left unchecked. While for some the skin can be generally well-behaved and self-maintained, for some it’s very sensitive. No matter what the skin type, inflammation, allergy, redness or puffiness can blanket the beauty any day.

I recently had my encounter of worse acne and eventually went overboard on acne treatments using all the harsh ointments and soaps thus banning my skin with red, peeling mess. Every cream, ointment or moisturizing lotion that I picked just made it worse and made me feel like the face is on fire. Loading up on chemical exfoliant and harsh acne treatment, I ruined my skin for good.

It was during one such episode of inflamed skin that I came across Brihatri moisturizing lotion. The calming nature and cooling feature of Aloevera and Green tea extracts immediately soothed my burning skin. Being an Ayurvedic product I had the confidence of its gentle impact and no adverse effects —which was my primary focus, as I can hardly imagine my angry face turning into a red monster by a side effect of some costly cosmetic.

Brihatri moisturizing lotion caught my attention for its natural contents, great reviews and perfect solutions to my skin problems. It inhibits the production of pro inflammatory prostanoids by blocking cyclooxygenase activity thus have a soothing effect on inflamed skin. Its anti-oxidants take the redness down a few notches within a day while the cooling effect calms the senses. It’s comforting scent and non-sticky gel just adds to the glamour.

Brihatri moisturizing lotion has been my go-to solution ever since, not just for inflammation but as a daily winter care that protects the skin from the winter chills or sun grills.

Pretty late in a winter evening, a tall, dapper gentleman reluctantly walked into my clinic. A middle-aged man tucked in a neat suit, a white shirt and golden cuffs with an unsettled face took the seat across the table.

He introduced himself politely, an IPS officer quite successful in his profession with great feats to his name sat numb with an influx of conflicting thoughts expressed subtly with a frown in his forehead; for he could not make his mind whether to speak and what to speak.

Looking across the room, he hesitantly opened up. He narrated his story about the glory of a successful career and a curse of loneliness that creeps him in the dark nights. Late in his thirties, the eligible bachelor fights his own battle with anxiety and depression.

Growing up in an utterly dysfunctional family witnessing the ugliest face of a couple, the concept of marriage and relationship took a bitter shape in his mind. Now in his late thirties, the feeling of being unsettled and the anxiety about the passing age is creating a turmoil in his head. Added to that is the stress of his demanding job that’s taking a toll on his sleep and his peace.

The anxiety of missing out on life kept him awake all night and the stress of balancing a thousand thoughts made him even more drained. He wanted a life, a family, but the scars of his childhood hazed every frame of his happily ever after story.

After listening to his woes and worries, I empathized with his thoughts and understood his agony. I counseled him that every individual is different, so are their perceptions and experiences. For his stress and anxiety, I prescribed Mentace tablet for 3 months.

Along with the medicines, I strictly advised him to start meditation and yoga and join regular counseling sessions to take the fears imprinted in his character out of his mind. I explained him that being chained to the dark past, one cannot weave a free future.

Following the instructions, taking the medicines regularly and with right counseling, the deep wounds of the past were all healed.

Parents often fight, shout and argue in front of their children without even realizing how deep that can damage the little heart!

Ritika, a 30-year-old corporate lawyer, cried out for help for her recent inability to fall asleep. The trouble began four months ago when she started to wake up at 3 a.m. every morning and she was unable to fall back to sleep. Consequently feeling “out of it” during the day. Thinking of it as a passing phase, Ritika stuck to the home remedies and suggested solutions continuing her struggle for days and months.

Exhausted and burned, Ritika would drag herself through the day with extreme tiredness and fatigue. Her performance suffered and confidence quivered. She was forgetful, absent-minded and missed quite a few important leads in her cases. The meticulous girl who never made a mistake in her career is now failing to type even a simple document correctly.

Her concerns fed fuel when she stayed awake for three days straight without even a short nap of peaceful sleep. Worrying about losing her sanity or dying of sleep deprivation she rushed to the nearest AyurCentral clinic to seek help. Worried about the repercussions of the sleeping pills or the artificial aids, she opted for Ayurveda to find a natural remedy.

The Ayurvedic doctor listened to Ritika attentively, asked her a few questions and eased her anxiety with his confidence and calm. He prescribed BrihartiAshwagandhadiLehyam to combat her anxiety and sleep disorder and taught her a few yoga techniques to boost sound sleep. 

AshwagandhadiLehya is a potent herbal revitalising tonic that work wonders in relieving stress and combating anxiety. Its safety is proven and effectiveness is stamped by several researches. Its anti-oxidant properties and mild tranquilizing effect reduces tension and irritability, relieves anxiety and relaxes muscles , thereby inducing sleep.

The prescribed dosage is 1 teaspoon full to be taken along with milk twice daily. A few days of the Ayurvedic dose rebooted her life back to track.

The secret of Rapunzel’s hair

In modern day fairy tales we can hardly imagine someone with a mane like Rapunzel. For in today’s time keeping the locks lustrous is merely a farfetched dream.  Fortunately, the princess lived in times when the forests were lush, the air was clean, and life was fairly uncomplicated.

The problem with hair today is that it is besieged by enemies of all kinds. How long, after all, can a delicate strand withstand assault from mighty foes like ageing, hormones, heredity, trauma, autoimmune disorders, thyroid disease, prescription drugs, pollution etc.

No doubt scientists and product researchers are fighting back valiantly. Every month, if not every day, a new product is launched, a new drug researched, and a new finding announced. The effort worldwide is to keep hair from falling, thinning, greying, or even dulling.

As such the shops are inundated with anti dandruff shampoos and oils, medications and preparations. But more often than not these chemicals just add on to the damage of the strands.

The expensive products come at the cost of dangerous side effects causing temporary or permanent damage to the mane robbing the lustre of beautiful tresses.

Digging deeper into the secret book of Rapunzel we discovered the mysterious Ayurvedic tricks to keep the hair healthy strong and shinning.

 The solution for most hair problems lies in the books of nature.

The perfect blend of neem, ginger and tulsi clears the scalp, fights harmful microbes, nourishes the scalp and strengthens hair from within.

Brihatri’s natural Dandrall oil and anti-dandruff shampoo is an amazing cure to fight dandruff, hair fall, split ends and ageing of the strands.

No side effects, no staggering expenses, no transplants or artificial fixes to restore your crowning glory. Just some basic lifestyle tips along with dandrall oil and Brihatri anti dandruff shampoo is enough to turn heads with gorgeous mane.

Dandruff is one of the most trivial problems that has clutched us by the hair and twirled our life around the cycle of embarrassment, awkwardness, low self-esteem and social agony. The white flakes are a nightmare caused by fungal infections, poor hygiene, poor diet, and several other factors.

Though it might need special treatment like that of using Ayurvedic Dandrall oil o for complete clean up of the scaly dandruffs, a few lifestyle alterations can greatly help in washing off the unwanted flakes.

Brush Your Hair Regularly 
Though detangling the enmeshed hair might seem a tedious job, but brushing is indeed a boon for the flicks.  Brushing keeps the dirt away, boosts blood circulation, spreads the natural oil and prevents dandruff.

Get A Little Sun 
Exposure to sunlight can improve scalp health and help treat dandruff. Just a few minutes of fresh sunbath in the early morning can do wonders to hair and skin.

Dietary modifications
The type of food that goes into the plate reflects on your skin and hair, and this is especially true when it comes to dandruff.  While sugar and processed foods are a cannon for dandruff, diet lacking in zinc and B vitamins can also trigger the condition.

Special food for fighting dandruff:

1. Ginger and Garlic

2. Green Tea

3. Apple

4. Banana

5. Neem leaves

6. Apple cider vinegar

7. Coconut oil

8. Lemon juice

9. Curd

10. Baking soda

Reduce Stress 

Stress is the greatest foe for our health. High levels of stress can cause a lot of damage to all organs from the heart to the skin. Though stress does not directly cause dandruff, but it impacts our diet and routine.


Anti-Dandruff Shampoos are not bad


Though most people believe anti-dandruff shampoos tend to make the hair brittle and lifeless, but choosing the right product can spell magic in your tresses. The classic Ayurvedic combo of Dandrall oil and Brihatri anti-dandruff shampoo is the best to treat dandruff while caressing for the strands.


Dandrall oil and Brihatri anti-dandruff shampoo are easily available in any of the Ayurcentral stores spread across the city. Check out your nearby store today.

Winters can be a dreadful nightmare for those with dry skin. Dead cells, flakes and dry itchy skin not just steals your glamour away but it makes you look pale and lifeless. However, with a good moisturizing lotion, you can enjoy the winter chill without going through its drill.

A perfect moisturizing lotion need not be the most expensive bottle pitched at the front of every rack, it can be wrapped in one of the humble packages of Ayurvedic lotions. Here are a few tips that would surely help you sort down the heap of lotions and find out your perfect match to guard the winters.

Check for the following attributes in your moisturizing lotion:

* No Parabens

* No Petroleum distillates

* No sulfates

These constituents not only cause skin irritation and allergies but can cause potential damage to the skin and body in the long run.

Check the natural ingredients of your moisturizing lotion. Aloevera based moisturizer works particularly well for dry skin. It not just soothes the skin but also provides ample benefits in uplifting the quality and look of the skin.

My personal favourite comes from the Ayurvedic racks as the very concept of no chemicals gives a sense of safety to my skin and my recent obsession has been Brihatri moisturizing lotion. Its moisturizing action increases the water content making the skin look fluffy and alive almost instantly.

As hydration smoothes the skin by flattening the “valleys” between the skin contour ridges, its moisturizing effect makes the skin soft, and more extensible. Being a natural charmer its effect lasts for 6 to 8 hours under the sun.

With my outdoor shifts that come handy to me as I always carry my wet wipes to wash off the dust and dirt, cleanse my exposed skin and reapply the moisturizing lotion for better benefits. My skin has improved in texture and quality and that is a big plus for me that keeps me going back to Brihatri moisturizing lotion.
