Dr Oz: Sandalwood Face Mask & Sandalwood Bark for Anti-Aging

Dr Oz did a segment called Alternative Health Secrets from Around the World: India to bring us some of India’s Health Secrets and Remedies that keep people in that nation healthy and beautiful well into old age.  Doctor Oz took everyone on a life-changing trip around the world to India and, for many of us who have not yet traveled to this part of Asia (me included!), this just made it even more tempting to try and figure out a way to plan a trip to India!  Dr Oz said that India is full of timeless beauty, exotic colors, extraordinary sights and sounds, and the oldest traditional Alternative Health Secret called Ayurveda Medicine.

Dr Oz: Ayurveda Medicine & Dr Kulreet Chaudhary

Dr Oz said that the main principle behind Ayurveda Medicine is that the body, mind, and spirit must all be in harmony.  So, a clean and simple diet is a must, along with medicinal spices, oils, meditations and yoga.  80% of Indians still rely on these holistic practices today, which allows them to look and feel younger well into their old age.  Dr Kulreet Chaudhary joined Dr Oz for this segment because she is an expert in Ayurvedic Medicine and Integrative Neurology.  Dr Chaudhary said that food is medicine and, before you develop a fully blown chronic disease, you can help to prevent it (starting today!) by eating certain foods and using certain ingredients.

Dr Oz: Sandalwood Powder Face Mask Recipe

Dr Kulreet Chaudhary told Dr Oz that Sandalwood Powder is great because of its Anti-Aging Skin properties.  Sandalwood is an anti-inflammatory ingredient that increases circulation to your skin and, as you improve the blood flow, you remove more toxins from your skin.  This Sandalwood Bark Face Mask can be tweaked for both dry skin (by adding Almond Oil) or for acne prone skin or rashes (by adding Turmeric).  You simply make a paste out of the Sandalwood Bark Powder and water.  Apply the paste to your skin and leave it on for an hour or even overnight.  Click here for the full recipe for how to make Dr Oz’s Sandalwood Face Mask.
