Ayurveda Properties
Walnut Shell (अखरोट का खोल), or Akshota Tvacha (अक्षोटक त्वचा) in Sanskrit, is a natural exfoliant (प्राकृतिक स्क्रब) revered for its ability to gently remove dead skin cells (मृत त्वचा कोशिकाओं को हटाना) and improve skin texture (त्वचा की बनावट)। This eco-friendly scrub promotes a radiant complexion (चमकती त्वचा) and boosts circulation (रक्त संचार)। Perfect for Ayurvedic-inspired formulations, Walnut Shell is a biodegradable (जैव-अवक्रमणीय) alternative to synthetic exfoliants, ensuring effective and sustainable skincare.
Although not traditionally used in Ayurvedic texts, Walnut Shell aligns with Ayurvedic principles of Kapha balancing (कफ संतुलन) by detoxifying (शुद्धिकरण) and stimulating the skin (त्वचा को उत्तेजित करना)। Its grounding properties make it ideal for rejuvenating dull skin (निस्तेज त्वचा)।
- Ayurvedic Alignment: Its rough texture aids in skin cleansing (त्वचा की सफाई) and detoxification.
- Key Properties: Exfoliating (उत्तेजक), detoxifying (शुद्धिकरण), and revitalizing (पुनर्जीवित)।
