Each ingredient in Panchamrut possesses unique therapeutic properties, including cleansing, moisturizing, exfoliating, and rejuvenating the skin while addressing Vata, Pitta, and Kapha imbalances. The process incorporates cleansing, exfoliation, massage, and masking, followed by toning to enhance skin health and appearance.This article delves into the theoretical and practical aspects of the Panchamrut Facial, discussing its relevance as a rejuvenative therapy for modern dermatological concerns. Additionally, it highlights the therapeutic effects of each ingredient and their synergy in achieving optimal skin health. By examining textual references and scholarly articles, this study underscores the efficacy of Panchamrut as a viable and sustainable skin-care modality in Ayurveda. The concluding section emphasizes the integration of traditional Ayurvedic treatments like Panchamrut Facial into contemporary wellness practices to achieve comprehensive health and well-being.
