Hidden hormones in make up.
Are they triggering early puberty? "

"Even though your mom is an Ayurvedic cosmetlogist why you are not using any beauty products?"

My daughter was talking to me.

"Mummy I wanted to use make up products.
Everyone in my class is using"

She is only 11 years old, so the reasons why I don't recommend make - up product to my kid.

" Mummy why everyone is getting periods at an early age? "

" Using makeup products can contribute to the development of early puberty.

So do you wanted to know the reasons?

📍Certain chemicals commonly found in makeup and personal care products can act as endocrine disruptor.

📍These chemicals interfere with the body’s endocrine (hormonal) system and may lead to health issues by mimicking, blocking, or altering the production of hormones resulting in early puberty.

📍Phthalates: Used to increase flexibility in cosmetics, phthalates are linked to hormonal imbalances, reproductive issues, and thyroid disruption.

📍Parabens: Often used as preservatives, parabens can mimic estrogen and have been linked to hormone-related cancers and reproductive toxicity.

📍Triclosan: An antibacterial agent found in some makeup products, triclosan is associated with thyroid and reproductive hormone disruption.

📍Heavy Metals: Lead, cadmium, and mercury can sometimes be found in trace amounts in cosmetics. These metals are linked to hormone disruption and can accumulate in the body over time.

📍Synthetic Fragrances: Fragrance chemicals are often proprietary blends that may contain EDCs like phthalates, impacting hormone function.

🎯 Early puberty is associated with a higher risk of conditions like obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular problems later in life.

🎯Children experiencing early puberty may face anxiety, low self-esteem, and difficulty fitting in with peers due to their advanced physical development.

How to know hair follicles are active or not?

 Many men during online consultation used to ask me  " How will I know, if my hair follicle is active or not? " Here are a few ways 👇 Observe Hair Growth: If you see fine, short hair (vellus hair) or longer, thicker hair (terminal hair) in the area, follicles are active. However, if the area is smooth and shiny without any hair growth, the follicles may be inactive. Examine Scalp Health: A healthy scalp, with adequate hydration and minimal flakiness, is more likely to support active follicles. Redness, inflammation, or excessive dryness can indicate issues affecting follicle activity. Check for Signs of Miniaturization: When follicles are active but weakened, they may produce thinner, shorter hairs. This process, known as follicular miniaturization, is often a sign of conditions like androgenic alopecia. Pull Test: Gently tug on a small section of hair. If more than a few strands come out, this may suggest shedding due to issues affecting follicle health, but it doesn’t ...

  Why Bread for Breakfast Could Be Sabotaging Your Health"🙄 A patient came to me five years ago complaining of back pain after his wife had been away for five days. He had been surviving on plain bread three times a day due to his desk job. As a doctor, I could easily see that his poor food choices had contributed to his discomfort." Bread, particularly refined white bread, can negatively impact digestion, energy levels, and overall health when consumed regularly, especially in the morning when the body needs nourishing and easily digestible foods to fuel the day. From an Ayurvedic standpoint, breakfast should support agni (digestive fire), which is not yet fully active in the morning after a night of rest. Consuming bread, especially with butter or jam, can overload the digestive system, as it is heavy and difficult to digest. This can lead to the formation of ama (toxins), which Ayurveda identifies as the root cause of many diseases. Refined bread, in particular, i...
