In Ayurveda, the term "health" refers to equilibrium and harmony in every Dosha, Agni, Dhatu and Mala. It is not only confined to the absence of diseases, but also to maintain a person's mind, sense organs, and spirit in a perfect state of equilibrium in order to give happiness and maintain the heathy body. Ayurveda provides several health restoration methods, such as Dinacharya, Ritucharya, Achara Rasayana, and Sadvrata. In Ayurveda, the concept of Dinacharya (daily routine) encompasses a number of conduct that are extremely beneficial to the skin. Snana (bathing) and Abhyanga holds a significant place in Ayurveda as part of the Dinacharya. Abhyanga promotes the healing and regeneration of skin tissues. Abhyanga facilitates natural elimination of toxins from the body through the skin. Detoxification is greatly aided by the drainage system, which is stimulated by the massage. According to Ayurvedic principles, Snana is not just a means of physical cleanliness but also a vital practice for spiritual purification. Snana helps in maintaining skin health by keeping it clean and hydrated.
