Ayurvedic Skin Care in the Cold Season

Or Vata season.  Dr. Pratima Raichur is the author of Absolute Beauty, to me the bible of Ayurvedic health.  I discovered her nearly 10 years ago and gave her book to all my friends who came and celebrated my birthday with me in 2003.   And I had the honor of meeting her finally this past June when I was in NYC.   Her clinic in Soho is amazing and I enjoyed some health promoting treatments there.

The Ayurvedic calendar says October through February is a time when our bodies—and skin—are plagued by imbalances and change, says Dr. Raichur, who has made skin health her specialty.

If you're lucky enough to live in NYC you can see her at Pratima Spa, 110 Green St, Suite 101, Soho
