How can SV Ayurveda help with the management of cellulite - if at all? Here’s how: we can delve deep into understanding the metabolism of tissues and associated imbalances, to see how toxic build-up may disrupt the functioning resulting in sagging and cellulite; we can get a full understanding of the fascia that play a key role in the formation of toxic skin layers and how detoxing and nourishing them can address cellulite; we can learn about the key role that “marma” points play in the supply and circulation of pranic energy and how they can hinder or allow for adipose accumulation and cellulite formation; we can learn how to reset the body’s total metabolism through herbs and spices orally to support the healing and regeneration of healthy skin tissue; we can educate ourselves on the diet that’s best suited to our body’s needs to maintain optimal metabolic rate; and always more. I teach all these things in my current ongoing Cellulite Solutions Course. However, there is more. To fully address cellulite, we also need to have a topical transdermal application.
This trinity of transdermal creams works together, as a team, for addressing cellulite, even though they may also be used independently one at a time. So, whether you have cellulite, or not, you can adopt the use of these transdermal creams for overall health and beauty. These are the new SVA formulations:
¬CellulEX – Thermogenic Cream to Mobilize & Evacuate Cellular Toxins
¬Bio CoQ10 – Synthesizes for optimal absorption and use of the Collagen protein molecules; Improves Skin Tone; Gives Energy to Overall to the Body
¬NutriFascia - Restores Firmness & Elasticity to the Fascia & helps Tone Sagging Skin
NutriFascia - Nurturing Cream with Collagen for the Body
Restore Firmness & Elasticity through the Fascia & Support Cartilage
Many of you have are already using and benefiting from my new Lalita’s Facial Creams and Facial Oil enriched with active collagen and beta-carotene - I’ve been receiving great feedback from users. The collagen cream for the body is similar to and contains the same active micro-molecules of collagen derived from free-range fowl bones but in a more concentrated form. This is a multi-functional cream for people with or without cellulite. With regards to cellulite, it feeds the fascia of the skin with active collagen. Second, anyone with ageing or sagging body skin can use this cream to restore the natural firmness, tone, and suppleness of their skin. Third, this cream can be applied directly on the major joints (knees, elbows, wrists, ankles, shoulders, and hips) to supply adequate collagen to nurture the joint cartilage - a connective tissue. People with cartilage damage commonly experience joint pain, stiffness, and inflammation and/or swelling. Although cartilage is a tough and flexible material, it is relatively easy to damage. Anyone with joint conditions can benefit from the transdermal ‘feeding’ of their cartilage with this cream.
Collagen – Why You Need it and More of it
Collagen is a type of protein, and works with keratin to provide strength, smoothness, elasticity and resilience to the skin. When you are young, you have an abundance of collagen in your body, this is one reason children and young adults have shiny sturdy hair and smooth skin. Collagen is often referred to as the ‘cement’ which holds everything together. As we age, our body’s production of collagen and other structural proteins starts to slow down, our skin starts to lose its elasticity and, sadly, we start to notice sagging skin and wrinkles. Collagen is only found in animals and there is no plant source for collagen. It is the main structural protein in the extracellular space in the various connective tissues in animal bodies (including humans). As the main component of connective tissue, it is the most abundant protein in mammals. Many readers and SVA followers contacted us, confused, as to why I am using ingredients derived from animal source. As you all know, non-violence towards animals and the world is a central precept of Ayurveda, however, when the well-being of human life is at stake, Ayurveda allows the consumption and use of animal-derived ingredients and products, making sure they have been obtained sattvically and prepared according to specific guidelines. Ayurveda is a science first and foremost, and it prizes human life above all, as humans then have the duty and responsibility of maintaining and helping other creatures that populate the world. This is why, when needed, we are advised to resort to animal-derived ingredients, always only when the need is crucial.
In this context, I have had innumerable requests from followers to address different conditions and have thus brought in variations on my creams: with or without collagen. Those who prefer not to use the collagen creams can still choose the full vegetarian version. However, please keep in mind the CellulEX has collagen as a primary ingredient and this cream can not have a fully vegetarian version.
As we age collagen production decreases. Modern research on collagen documents a sharp decline in collagen in people forty and over. But nowadays I have seen the signs of collagen depletion in young vegans and vegetarians. Even non-vegetarians can go low in collagen due to bad or dumb protein, or due to digestive problems affecting the production (synthesis) of collagen.
In cellulite conditions, amavisha (free radicals) damage the structure of the fascia disturbing its strength and flexibility. To repair that damage and to rejuvenate the skin giving more power to maintain its normal structure and shape in the future, we must feed the skin collagen. However, this is easier said than done, because collagen generally does not get readily absorbed by the skin, since it is quite a large molecule, it does not penetrate the skin but stays idly on top and then gets washed off. This is why most collagen creams on the market do not work.
But, with my ayurvedic expertise, and the herbal skills my father imparted to me, I have successfully put together an herbal synergy that activates teh collagen so it does get absorbed and used up by the skin.
My cream contains an active form of collagen derived from domestic fowl bones. I have added Gotu kola to activate the micromolecules of collagen and support their synthesis and absorption into connective tissue. This cream targets skin restoration in cellulite areas. Centella asiatica (Gotu kola) extract asiaticoside is well-known to promote skin connective tissue repair and wound healing. My father, with whom I interned after graduating from college, called this herb a ‘maha twaga’ rasayana – a great rasayana for the skin. Discover the research on this remarkable herb for collagen synthesis: Gotu Kola for the Skin – The Ancient Healing Herb for Anti-aging.
Last but not least, this cream is formulated with Crocin (from Saffron) to prevent the collagen from oxidizing during synthesis. Crocin from saffron is a great anti-oxidant particularly for the skin. This precious thread helps prevent oxidation, whether from toxins inside the body or substances floating in the environment. Amavisha (reactive toxins) creates inflammation of the skin layers and between the layers, causing pre-mature aging of the skin. The ‘active ingredient’ of Saffron – Crocitin or Crocin – has high anti-oxidant value. Crocin – An Overview.

I tried this cream with a little apprehension as I wonder about topical formulas that can actually make a difference. I have had the cream for about one month now, and use it on various parts of my body. The first place I tried it was actually on my hands, as they are the most aging part. I couldn't believe how beautiful my hands looked. Thanks to all who at Chandika.com
