  AYURVEDIC BEAUTY TIPS FOR SUMMER Summer is here and with the Summer Solstice, it’s that time of the year when the energies change and lots will start to happen. It’s a new phase and a new beginning. And before I proceed any further with my article, I would like to wish you all a very Happy International Yoga Day. 21 st  June 2018 was celebrated in many places as International Yoga Day. Thanks to technology and internet, I was overwhelmed to see thousands of people gather in various parts of the world. I hope that each and every Yoga enthusiast that I know of, celebrated this day.

In Ayurveda we also say that once you get to know the answer for “WHY”, ...
