“Please provide medicine for eye floaters. I am 27 years old and facing this problem since last six months. It seems that there are many transparent ‘strings’ floating in both eyes.  The shapes of the floaters are like dark specks…. Thank you. Ashish”

Vaidya: Dear Ashish, I would first highly recommend you get your eyes checked. Go to a licensed optometrist to rule out any specific eye problems you might be having. Many different medical conditions can cause floaters in the eyes, so you will need to find out if any is affecting your health right now.

Otherwise, I have put together several SVA formulations to help keep our eyes refreshed and in balance daily. For overall support to the eyes, we have the new Soma Netra Eye Drops with Organic Rose.  This drop pacifies alochaka pitta, the fire/me

tabolic principle that govern the eyes. The drops also balance vyana vata, prana vata, and sadhaka pitta.  Alochaka aggravation contributes to the manifestation of floaters.  You may also be able to help this situation by doing my SVA Eye Marma protocol with the ALA Aroma-Free Cream. This will improve overall circulation to the eyes and supply more pranic energy.  You should also use my Triphala

Ghee – as directed – to nourish and lubricate the eyes.  SVA™ Self Marma Eye-Care with ALA Cream – Aroma Free & Why Use Triphala Ghee for the Eyes.  Lastly take care of your eyes by minimizing use of computers, cell phones, too much tv, etc. Or when you have to, for a reason or another, give youreyes a break every 45 minutes – find a distant point on the horizon and start at it to help relax the eye muscles. The Soma Netra Drops can also be used more frequently when you are doing intense computer work. Finally, protext from too much sun exposure – wear sunglasses whenever you go out in bright sunlight, or tinted anti-glare glasses even indoors if you wear reading glasses.

You can also do a wash with Triphala tablets – crush 1-2 tablets of triphala, add some warm water, soak in a piece of cloth or a small towel, and apply on your eyes and wipe. Repeat several times. Do this at night before bed to help relieve eye fatigue.

“Namaste Vaidya Mishraji, The Soma Netra Eye Drops are a boon. Just wanted to verify if a little bit of secretions by morning after putting a couple drops in the eyes at night before going to bed are considered normal.

Thank you,

Gaurav N.”

Vaidya: One of the primary actions of the Chakchushya herb in my Soma Netra drops formula is “netra prasadhana.” This means: it is cleansing (for) the eyes. When you apply the drops in your eyes, the formula not only soothes them but it gently detoxifies them. When you apply a drop or two at night and wake up with eye secretions, it means the combination of Rose and Chakchushya is doing its job of “nirmali karan” – gentle cleansing. Normally, the eyes secrete “akchi mala”-s, or eye waste products. This is an ongoing daily activity. If for any reasons the channels are clogged or there are any circulatory problems, the “akchi mala”-s will not get discharged, instead, they get to sit and accumulate. When this happens, and you use my drops, you will find that they will initiate the process of releasing accumulated eye waste and it will show up as secretions in the morning. The process of nirmali karan is releasing these akchi mala-s.

So, in conclusion: if an individual has a build-up of these malas, they will get released and may shop up as morning eye secretions. The eyes get toxic accumulation from many sources – environmental (garavisha or xenobiotics) from too much EMF exposure and or the use of sythetic chemical soaps and products; and local due to internal toxic build-up (amavisha). Toxins that get to sit without being evacuate create inflammation, lowering the immune system, and resulting in all kinds of eye problems.

It’s good that your eyes are secreting the toxic waste. However, if they stop secreting, it does not mean that your eyes are not detoxing any longer or the drop is not working. It may be that right now you are off-loading excess accumulation, and that eventually, the secretions will be minimal or null. It all depends on the individual, and the level of accumulation. It’s a case-by-case phenomenon.

Decades ago, in India, before before the industrial mass production for personal care and beauty products became the norm, women (and men) in rural or urban settings used to resort to either grandma’s secret home-recipes, or rely upon the village or town vaidya for hand-made natural herbal products to address their needs for personal beautification and maintenance.

Vaidyas have always held a front-and-center role for many aspects of personal care, in addition to fulfilling the role of healers. My ancestors, the vaidyas from the Shaka Vansiya Ayurveda lineage, were experts in formulating all kinds of products for personal care and beauty not just for laypeople, but since many were appointed personal ayurvedic physical to the royalty based on their wide-spread name and fame, they were called upon to formulate and develop uniquely effective beauty techniques to make the royalty of India look their utmost best.

In this newsletter, I want to share two simple ways for you to enjoy and benefit from some of the ancestral royal secrets for beautification that were handed down to me from my lineage.  Both techniques are part of the SVA™ Transdermal Marma System™ (TMS), and cannot be sourced elsewhere, even though they use the science of Marma that is part and parcel of Ayurveda, the approach and practical methods are SVA™.

These techniques make use of the science of marma points – a fundamental aspect of ayurvedic vibrational healing, along with the correct transdermal application of specifically prepared herbal synergies.

In the SVA lineage, we learn that marma points on the face (and body) are energetic ‘switches’ that facilitate, support, and enhancing the reception, flow, and delivery of Prana to all organs, cells, and systems.  My TMS™ technique, or Transdermal Marma System™, is a practical application of ayurvedic marma therapy using unique herbalized SVA™ creams, mantra, touch, and pure aromas on specific marmas.

The following SVA™ marma protocols discussed below are designed to increase the flow of prana for overall health and beauty. One technique specifically targets the health and beauty of the eyes; the other is for overall bliss and facial beauty.

Eye Care: with SVA™ Marma and the Aroma-Free ALA Cream. 

For this marma technique, we use Aroma-Free ALA (alpha lipoic acid ) Cream.  Alpha Lipoic acid, or just Lipoid Acid is a well-known natural substance found in certain foods and also produced in the human body. Scientific studies have discovered its many health promoting properties:

• it plays a key role in the biochemical pathways responsible for energy production in the cells (citric acid cycle).
• it inhibits cross-linking of chemical bridges between proteins or other large molecules – cross-linking contributes to the aging process by causing hardening of arteries, wrinkling of the skin and stiffening of joints.
• it is an anti-inflammatory.
• ALA can help with the detox of toxic heavy metals
• Alpha Lipoic Acid is a powerful both lipid- and water- soluble antioxidant. Antioxidants are intimately involved in the prevention of cellular damage — the common pathway for cancer, aging, and a variety of diseases.

While the body can naturally manufacture enough lipoic acid for metabolic functions, supplementing orally or transdermally can allow more optimal levels to circulate in a free state.

In SVA, we use Alpha Lipoic Acid in distinct ways. I have formulated a cream to help support the health of the eyes. The beauty of this cream is that it improves circulation to the eyes’ nerves without causing or generating any local heat.  Why is this important?  We have learnt with Ayurveda that the eyes are governed by alochaka pitta, so they are an agneya organ (fire element predominant).  Consequently, we don’t recommend using any warming or thermogenic products to improve circulation. In general, as you know, thermogenesis is needed to enhance and improve circulation. So having a formula that has thermogenic properties without heating up the area is ideal! It’s like having your cake and eating it too!

Because the SVA™ ALA cream is water-based it gets absorbed immediately within the first and second layers of the skin, lubricating and hydrating the skin without clogging it.  Used as directed, the ALA cream, along with marma point massage relaxes not only the eyes but also the mind, even supplying relief from strain to the eyes caused by EMF (electro-magnetic fields) and overuse.

ALA cream along with SVA Marma can be used anytime of the day. But it can be particularly useful at night, to help with restorative sleep.  Why?  The SVA definition of nidra (sleep) is that sleep comes when the sense organs withdraw from the mind and objects of perception.  Using the ALA Cream on the eye marma points helps disengage the eyes from the mind and sense objects by supplying relief and relaxation. When the eyes relax, the mind settles, breathing slows down, and the other senses follow suit, inducing better sweeter deep sleep full of replenishing soma.

SVA Self Marma For-Facelift

On Sunday January 24, 2016, I taught a workshop on SVA Beauty and Marma Face-lift in Westlake Village – you can watch the video recording on my SVA Health YouTube Channel. In the tradition of SVA, we define beauty as:

These verses elucidate beauty in terms of “body parts” or “anga”s, and the concept of “shubhang” or auspiousness. This changes everything. It changes our understanding of beauty radically. Beauty is not a matter of external symmetry or properties or qualities, it becomes an integral aspect of one’s identity. In addition, as the verse also says, beauty depends upon, and derives from, three supporting pillars:

Rupam – outer beauty;

Guam —  inner beauty; 

Vayastag – lasting beauty.

There have been countless books written about inner and outer beauty, incorporating even different yogic protocols and approaches. But with SVA you can unlock the secret to your total beauty with simple daily practical steps. With only a few minutes morning and/or evening, you can unfold that inside-out auspiciousness that is the source of all beauty, re-aligning you with your inner core, giving you a beauty that emanates from re-establishing the inner peace that accompanies the full unimpeded flow of prana. With the SVA Self-marma face-lift, you can support and enhance all three pillars of beauty to give you the experience of inside-out beauty within minutes!

 How to Locate your Marma Points and Massage Them:

Explore the areas of the specific marma points shown on the diagram on your own face. Look for or feel for a subtle ‘dip’ in the areas shown on the facial photos, or some tenderness, or sometimes even some soreness. Marma points are the conjunction of various types of energies so you will feel the points when you touch them. Many times you may even feel the need to breathe deeper when you find and touch the points. Here are the general instructions and steps to do before either the SVA Face-lift protocol or the SVA Eye Care techniques. These

techniques make use of the SVA marma points. How do you locate the specific marma points? Since everybody’s face is somewhat distinct in its bone structure, marma points may be found at slightly different locations than what is shown on the diagram we use. For that, it is best to develop an experiential sense of where each marma point is on your own face.

After you locate the points,  apply a small dab of cream on the marma points. Lightly, and gently rotate the tip of your ring finger(s) clockwise – imagine that a clock is on your face, so someone looking at you will be able to tell time! Go in Light and slow circles, rotating the tip of your ring finger for approximately 7 times.  After circular motions, lightly hold the point (or point pair) 15-30 seconds.  You may do the temples and other pairs of points simultaneously with your left and right hands.  At all times, breath easy. Inhale when you first press down on the point gently, and breath out when you release the point.

SVA™ Self Marma Eye-Care with ALA Cream – Aroma Free

Step One:   Using the ring finger, apply a small amount of Aroma-Free ALA on your Sthapani marma and leave it there

Step Two:   Locate and apply cream on the pair of Urdhwa Netra Marmas

Step Three: Locate and apply cream on Aroma Free ALA on Adho Netra Marma points

Step Four:  Locate and apply cream on Apanga Marma set

Step Five:   Locate and apply cream on up-apanga set

Now that you have located and marked the marma points, go back to your first step and gently massage in clockwise motion with very gentle pressure. Keep doing the same for all points. Breathe slowly and gently. Breathe in and gently apply pressure on the point, and breathe out and release the point. Go through all the points and then spread out the cream onto the whole area evenly, wiping out any additional residues. And you’re done! This will take you only a few minutes. You can do it morning or at night before bed. You will get the cumulative benefits not only from applying the ALA cream that improve circulation in your temples and eye area, wiping off EMF build-up, but also enhanced pranic flow that will restore and rejuvenate your eyes. If you make an effort to slip into sleep by 10pm, dark heavy eye circles can also get improved with time.

SVA Marma Facial-Care

This protocol can be done by yourself or by someone for you. It will take approximately 25 minutes if you do all steps. You can also just do the full protocol 2-3 times a week, and then do a shortened version everyday. In addition, you can use any products your like, but here are the products I recommend to get full benefit from this full SVA protocol:

Samadhi Set: to open up the heart and engage pranic flow from the core;

Super Sport (Roll-on best): to activate physical circulation and unblock physical and vibrational channels;

Maha Marma Oil: to settle Prana Vata and the panic flow down the spinal column, without which any marma massage will not be optimal;  Any of the Lalita’s Age Defying™ Creams based on your skin type or preference: to further nourish, nurture, and rejuvenate.

Step one

Activate Siro Griva Marma with SuperSport™:  Before prana (from the sushumna nadi) flows down spine to the entire body, this sandhi marma softens the energy for the body to receive and make use of.  This step of the technique cleans the pranic energy flowing in the nadis (expressed in the nerves) governing the cervical spine. It eliminates the polluted vibrations of EMF and helps prevent further contamination by giving more power to your nadis.  After doing the cervical portion of the marma facelift, more prana is already going to the face and making the facial marmas more open and receptive when subsequently touched and activated.

3 little actions to follow:

1- Apply Super Sport on Siro Griva

2- Swipe down from Siro Griva to C7 on the neck seven times using the Super Sport

3- Starting at C1, use your ring fingers to swipe outward from the center of cervical spine to outside edge of the neck posteriorly, with medium pressure.  Continue swiping C2 through C7.  Again swipe down with more SuperSport™ 7 times.  Finish by lightly massaging the back of your neck top to bottom.

Step two 

Samadhi Set – Consisting of three herbalized creams (or roll-ons) the Samadhi Set is applied on specific marma points to open the heart to support and coordinate the functioning between mind, heart and soul. Discover how to use the Samadhi Set at https://www.svayurveda.com/?s=samadhi+set

Step three

This is the most involved step, as the first 2 steps are preparations. When you are short on time you can skip the other 2 steps and just start with this. This step addresses the Adhipati and  12 facial marma points

Adhipati – Found at the center of the head (Anterior fontanelle), Adhipati is considered the ‘master’ marma.  Using the SVA Maha Marma Oil, perform this

step immediately after the Samadhi Set for optimal results.  Activating this marma increases the marut predominant flow down the entire spine and then to

whole body.  It will also impact and open the ida and pingala nadis right away.  Additionally, this step makes the facial marmas more open and receptive.

Facial Marmas: Facial marmas are very powerful! Ajna marma, for example, is connected to the Bhramarandhra – this is analogous to a filter whose epicenter is the adhipati marma, Bhramarandhra filters the reception of cosmic energy so it does not overwhelm the human physiology. When you clean and awaken ajna during your self marma facelift, you actually enhance your connection to the cosmic intelligence of the universe.

Actual Steps: Refer to the accompanying facial chart.  Use the Lalita’s Age Defying Cream of your choice.  http://www.chandika.com/lalitas-skin-care. Since ALL of the SVA creams are free from chemical preservatives, it is best if you do not use your fingers to scoop out the cream. You can use a clean Q-tip, or a little spoon just for that purpose.

Use the same technique as for the Eye Care protocol, applying the cream on the points to mark them, then using one or both hands, for points that are on either side of your face, gently touch, then go round in circles and gently press down. Inhale and exhale.

What does each marma point correspond to and what does it do

1)    Sthapani – Balances the coordination between the mind and the senses.  It helps ‘turn’ the mind inward to the satwa, the light of the soul.

2)    Ajna- Connects the satwa, the light of the soul, to the Bhramrandhra.  Ajna is at the location of the third eye.

3)    Apanga – Relaxes the eyes and enhances the coordination between the eyes and the mind

4)    Shanka – Removes stress and relaxes the eyes that may be narrowed or shrunk due to stress

5)    Urdhwa & Adho Karna – Here we have a set of points on the ear.  First do 5a then 5b.  Both points relax the mind.

6)    Phana – these points are lateral to the base of nose. They help open and support the ida and pingala nadis.

 7)    Urdhwa Austha – Improves pranic flow to the oral cavity and the lips

 9)    Madhya Austha –  supplies prana to the lips 8)    Adho Austha – Improves pranic flow to the oral cavity and the lips

10)  Chibuk – Provides pranic flow to the whole jaw, nourishing all the nerves that run all the way up to the eyes, ears, brain

11)  Madhya Chibuk – Provides pranic flow to the whole jaw, nourishing all the nerves that run all the way up to the eyes, ears, brain

12)  Kanth – This marma is a reservoir of prana.  Activating Kanth marma supplies more prana to the heart as well as to the head area. It is a cross-roads marma point where the exchange between the head and the rest of the body occurs. Women tend to hold on to a lot of emotional stress at this point. It is a very powerful point to activate. It may carry a lot of toxins, so go very gentle on it.

Whether you give yourself this self-marma massage or somebody else does it, you will feel very relaxed as the body gets an opportunity to discharge accumulated stress physically, mentally, and emotionally. Make sure to give yourself the time to relax after a marma massage. Have a glass of water at hand to rehydrate. Lie down and take it easy for 15-20 minutes. Or if you have done this at night before bed, you are ready for a blissful night of restorative sleep

Vaidya’s Lalita’s Skin Care Line has been women’s best friend for more than 10 years. His recent Navratna Celestial Radiance Cream was a celebrated addition. But now you have even more choices to address the very specific needs of your skin. In the mood for some Pearl Bhasma? How about the vibrational charge of planetary gems combined with Rose Absolute for added balancing and glow?  You could also add traces of pure gold, silver, “thousand puti” mineral ash? What do all these ayurvedic ingredients have in common besides being key for total radiant health? This: you can now order your own jar of facial cream with any – or all – of these ingredients, and we at SVA will make it from scratch, just for you, when you place your order! Every single ingredient that Vaidya adds to his formulations have a distinct purpose. Even the aromatic flowers such as Rose or Jasmine have specific skin nourishing and glow enhancing properties. To address the growing needs of the SVA following, we now offer more creams to complement the existing family of Lalita’s Age-Defying Facial Creams.

All of the new custom-made products have the ingredients of the original formulas and carry the beautifying properties of the original products.  But now you can order Lalita’s Age Defying Facial Cream or Navratna Celestial Radiance Facial Cream with either Rose Absolute, or Sambac Jasmine. Rose and Jasmine carry distinct properties for the skin.

We now also offer the option of Lalita’s Age-Defying Facial Cream with Natural Pearl Bhasma (nano particles of natural pearl).  Or Lalita’s Age-Defying Cream infused with the transformational power of Abhrak Bhasma. These can come with Rose or Jasmine – the choice is yours.

What is Abhrak Bhasma?

Abhrak Bhasma is an ayurvedic Maha Rasayana. A supremely rejuvenating substance that requires years to make through the controlled process of the repeated ‘burnings’ of mica – a shiny silicate mineral with a layered structure, found as minute scales in granite and other rocks, or as crystals. In Ayurveda, a very special type of mica is used to make the bhasma. It is black mica,  called “krishnabhr.”

Vaidya Mishra’s Abhrak Facial Cream contains extremely high potency Abhrak – Sahasra Puti: burnt a 1000 times.  Sahasra means one thousand.  Made by one thousand steps of repeated burnings. The burning process is a massive purification process, as each time the mica gets burnt, it is processed with different herbs, and burnt over and over again one thousand times. in this process of making the ash, or the bhasma, the mica interacts with the rejuvenating herbs so this bhasma carries the intelligence of those herbs. The process of burning the substance again and again makes the molecules finer and finer. This process yields a powerful bhasma,or ash, that is know for its rejuvenative properties for the cellular system, nourishing the skin by directly enhancing the intelligence of the gaps (sandhis) that govern the transformational vibrational energy of all seven layers of the skin.  By enhancing the ultimate vibrational energy flowing through gaps, the Abhrak Bhasma Facial Cream immediately increases the Prabha (glow of the aura) of the skin! You can choose between a cream that has Abhrak Bhasma and Rose or Abhrak Bhasma and Jasmine. Abhrak Bhasma is a rare item highly prized for its overall health supporting properties. It has never been used as an ingredient in a facial cream until now. With Vaidya’s unique SVA formulations, now you can enjoy the age-defying properties of Abhrak in your daily facial care protocol.

Abhrak Bhasma, on its own is a maha rasayana in Ayurveda, because it can travel up to the sixth level of the skin and rejuvenate all the layers, resetting their natural metabolic intelligence – the intelligence of transformation between the gaps of the skin. In addition, however, Abhrak Bhasma Sahastra Puti is also the fastest and most efficient yogvahi – a catalyst carrier. What does this mean? It means that it has the ability to carry along any herbs that accompany it, and make sure that the properties of those herbs are activated and put to use. So when Abhrak Bhasma is combined with the age-defying herbs, all the macromolecules of all the herbs in this cream get delivered faster and more effectively to all the 6, or 7 (depending on whether we follow the Charak Samhita or the Susrut Samhita) layers of the skin resulting in immediate nourishment and cleansing.

Who should use Pearl Bhasma?

Three bio-chemical categories made up of the 5 elements of nature (fire, water, earth, air and space), known as “doshas” run our bodies, Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Each individual carries a unique signature mixture of these three categories. And each individual’s skin is also unique based on their doshic make-up.  Each of these has an additional 5 sub-categories.

The skin is governed by 3 sub-categories or sub-doshas: Pachak Pitta; Vyana Vata; and Shleshak Kapha. Individuals who are more Pitta by nature, who carry more fire in their biochemical constitution, tend to have a more active bhrajak pitta subhdosha. In other terms, their skin tends to be more sensitive to developing rashes and imbalances due to heat, overexposure to sunshine, or it can also be triggered by spicy food, emotional challenges as well as mental stress. In addition, because Pitta skin tends to be more prone to acidity, and acidity induces inflammation and kills the friendly bacteria of the skin, Pitta individuals need specific skin care addressing their highly sensitive constitution. For this group of people who tend to have more sensitive skin, Ayurveda offers specific help with Pearl Bhasma.

Pearl bhasma is highly somagenic and cooling because when the macromolecules of pearl (bhasma) combine with the proper yogvahi, or carrier, the soothing benefits of the pearl will penetrate up to the 4th layer of the skin. The herbal syerngy of essential oils that Vaidya uses in his creams are meant as intelligent yogvahis. In this situation, bhrajak pitta gets pacified up to the 4th layer, offering inside-out relief.

The micro-molecules of the pearl bhasma are highly alkalizing for the deeper levels of the skin.  Long-term use of the Pearl bhasma cream helps create a good environment for the friendly bacteria of the skin, and helps to fight against inflammation created by any external or internal factors. In particular, pearl bhasma with rose is great for somebody going through emotional challenges or someone emotionally sensitive in general. Rose is known for its great property for sadhak pitta pacification, while Jasmine helps unify all the layers of the skin which get separated due to acid induced inflammatory situations.

Vaidya’s facial cream contains that contain Pearl Bhasma are specially formulated for high-pitta skin types that need deeper cooling and deeper nourishment for their skin.  Pearl Bhasma is the best for such skin conditions, because it’s highly Somagenic – very rich in the cooling, nurturing, replenishing vibrational energy of the Moon.  Pearl Bhasma is also firming for the skin.  You can now chose between a facial cream that carries Natural Pearl Bhasma with Rose, or Natural Pearl Bhasma with Jasmine.  Or, you can try them both!

Why Add Rose?

Do you know why emotional stress directly impacts the glow and health of your skin? When your emotions are on the rocks, your sadhak pitta and sadhak agni go off. This impacts all your other pitta subdoshas, stripping your skin of its luster, and slowing down its healthy metabolism. If you are under constant emotional stress, and your skin looks dull and flaky, no external application will help unless it address the heart of the matter, your emotions. Unless, that is, you use a prana-infused cream that contains Rose! Transdermal Rose can uplift the emotions by balancing sadhak pitta and sadhak agni right away– the sub- doshas and the flame that govern the emotional heart. Rose strengthens the emotional heart so it can better handle emotional challenges. Not only does rose pacify sadhak pitta – even as it balances sadhak agni – it also carries a “somnasya jana” or bliss-enhancing property. All sub-doshas are inter-connected. Any of Vaidya’s creams can be custom-ordered containing 100% pure and organic Rose Absolute. If you are experiencing emotional challenges right now, then you should go with the Rose Aroma.

But Rose also carries additional amazing properties confirming it as the Queen of flowers in the plant kingdom! Did you know that Rose is also known for its “vajikarna” properties? It supports the hormones and is a wonderful additional to any romantic setting – making it a Valentine Day’s favorite. But rose is also beneficial for individuals who experience heat or burning sensations in their limbs or their body overall. Regular transdermal use of rose cleans the sweat inside-out, neutralizing its pH, so that when it is released through the skin, it does not cause irritation. Rose in your facial cream can be especially beneficial if you are a vata or pitta or a mixture of both in terms of your overall constitution and particularly in terms of your skin type.

How does Jasmine help the Skin?

Did you know that jasmine not only uplifts and inspires but supplies deep age-defying support to the seven layers of the skin? This fragrant little flower carries a very special property, as explained by the ayurvedic texts, that restores the youthful glow to our skin. In our youth, the 7 layers of our skin are naturally bio-chemically connected to one another. As we age, due to the accumulation of toxins, internal and external stressors, the layers of our skin gradually lose integration, resulting in heavy, sagging, dull and flakey skin.  Jasmine is renowned for its Sandhaniya (unifying) and purifying effect on the skin.  In addition, the aroma and the transdermal absorption of Jasmine supports mental bliss by re-establishing the connection between “dhi, dritti,” and “smritti”: the power of your brain to gather, store and recollect information. When these are working in full coordination, your mind feels clear, strong, and you are ready to undertake anything! Jasmine thus maintains the elasticity of your skin and your brain, supporting both together.
