Ayurveda teaches that the face mirrors internal health, revealing early signs of imbalance in doshas and organs.
Mukh Pariksha (Ayurvedic face mapping) observes facial zones to identify digestion, stress, hormonal, and emotional patterns.
Not a medical diagnosis, but a holistic guide to understand the body’s signals and support healing through lifestyle, diet, and balance.
