Not only will making diet improvements help get rid of the melasma, but overall, your skin will be much healthier, heal a lot quicker, have less redness and texture, and improve the signs of aging. Eat real food   Melasma is an inflammatory issue deep inside your skin. What causes inflammation is anything that irritates or stresses your body, or throws it off balance. Junk food, processed food, factory-made food, artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, food coloring, and chemical additives are not supposed to be in our natural diet. We are made to eat real, natural, nutritious, fresh food. But, somewhere along the way we started eati...

Banana A banana tree is very pious and symbolizes Lord Vishnu who is believed to be “the savior”.  In the same manner, it is said that a person who cannot offer any Dakshina to a guru is advised to give a few Banana fruits in the place of cash or gifts. At the time of Grihapravesa, marriage and other functions in the house, people usually keep two Banana plants on each side of the entrance as an auspicious symbol. Though Banana is not technically a tree, yet it is considered one because of its structure and size. Offering prayers to the Banana tree is something which has been carried out since time immemorial. Since life cannot exist without trees, as a symbol of gratitude and gratification it is planted during Vaisakha, Magha or Kartika Shukla Chaturdashi as a tradition. It is said that worshipping the tree with flowers, fruits, etc. assures the welfare of the family. It not only brings health benefits to the family but also brings prosperity and happiness in t...

Coconut    Importance of Coconut:         When you lift a whole coconut you will see that it has three marks on one side. These three marks are considered to be the three eyes of Lord Shiva himself. This is why the fruit is used in almost all pujas.           It is said that coconut can help to full fill all the desires of the person worshiping  it. You will often notice that the coconut is placed on a pot before puja is done. This is done as some consider the three marks on coconut as the marks of Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh. When you place the coconut the tridevs are requested to be a part of the puja. Unless these three gods become a part of the puja, no puja can be successful. They come and they bless your household. As long as the coconut is in the house these deities bless the household.  Actually we will study about Tridevs in a separate article but they represent the three forms of nature – creator, preserv...
