The skin forms a protective boundary between the body and its environment.

Skin
A living interface between
body, world & self.
body, world & self.
The skin is one of the largest organs in the body in surface area and weight. It protects, regulates and allows us to experience the world around us.
The living surface
More than a surface.
Beneath the skin lies the hypodermis, or subcutaneous fatty tissue. Together, its layers form a remarkable system of protection, regulation and sensation.
Regulation
It helps regulate body temperature through sweat and hair, while changes in peripheral circulation and fluid balance are also connected with sweat.
Sensation
An extensive network of nerve cells detects and relays changes in the environment, with separate receptors for heat, cold, touch and pain.
Skin & physiology
An organ that listens.
The skin regulates several aspects of physiology, including body temperature via sweat and hair, and changes in peripheral circulation and fluid balance via sweat.
It also acts as a reservoir for the synthesis of Vitamin D.
The skin contains an extensive network of nerve cells that detect and relay changes in the environment. There are separate receptors for heat, cold, touch, and pain.
Damage to these nerve cells is known as neuropathy, which results in a loss of sensation in the affected areas.
Patients with neuropathy may not feel pain when they suffer injury, increasing the risk of severe wounding or the worsening of an existing wound.

The Science of Balance
The term Ayurveda means "knowledge of life". Ayurvedic practice is used to restore life & balance.
Panch Bhuta
There are 5 elements (Panch Bhuta): Ether (Akasha), Air (Vayu), Fire (Agni), Water (Jala) and Earth (Prithvi). These five elements make up three key Doshas.
Each person has a dominant Dosha, known as their “Prakriti” or constitution that shapes their physical constitution and personality. It remains the same throughout life, but lifestyle, diet, stress & pollution can lead to a surge in other doshas, which can lead to skin conditions.
