Ashwini Kumaras are the twin gods - First physicians/healers of heaven and earth. The word 'ashwini' means horsewoman in Sanskrit, and the word 'kumara' denotes eternal youth. Sanjna (Lord Surya's wife) was wandering around the Universe in the form of a mare in the absence of her husband. Lord Surya saw through her disguise and assumed the form of a horse. Ashwini Kumaras are a result of this union.
 
Ashwini Kumaras are associated with the lunar constellation Ashwini, which is related to healing and eternal youth. They are depicted as twins with the head of a horse, and a human body. They are regarded as the embodiments of knowledge and speed. Ashwini Kumaras also represent the fleeting moments between night and dawn (speed), and herald dawn (knowledge).

 In addition to Ayurveda they learnt 'Madhuvidya' the science of restoring the dead to life from sage Dadhichi.

Skin

The skin is a complicated structure with many functions.
It is commonly known that there are three primary layers of skin on a human body:
1. Epidermis: outermost layer of skin that provides a waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone.
2. Dermis: contains tough connective tissue, sweat glands and hair follicles.
3. Hypo dermis or Subcutaneous: made up of fat and connective tissues.

According to Acharya Sushruta in Ayurveda the skin has seven distinct layers, each with its own structure and function, providing support to the layers above it.The skin as a whole is able to perform its overall functions effectively when all the layers and healthy and balanced.

SKIN LAYERS:
1.Avabhasini: As the outermost layer, it is the source of complexion and reflects the quality of the Rasa Dhatu (primary nutrient fluids) in our body. This indicates any inner health or disorder that we may have and whether the body’s physiology as a whole is balanced or imbalanced. Devoid of its own color, it reflects the colors of inner layers and the aura of the individual. When affected, pimples,acne, dandruff etc arise on the body. It resembles the color of molten iron.

2.Lohita: This layer supports the outermost layer. It indicates the quality of Rakta Dhatu (blood). If there is ama (impurities) in the blood, it impacts the aura of the outer layer and accentuates sensitivity to the sun. The color of this layer resembles molten iron.

3.Shweta: This is a white layer, and it provides balance to skin color, lightening the darker colors of the inner layers.

4.Tamra: This layer nurtures the upper layers of the skin. It supports the immune system. This is the layer that helps the skin perform its function of being a "barrier." Skin infections reflect an imbalance in this layer. It is copper-colored.

5.Vedini: This fifth layer sensually links the skin to the rest of the body. It is the center for transformation of sensation-feeling of pain, for example.

6.Rohini: This layer supports healing and regeneration. Imbalance in this layer retards healing and the disappearance of scars over time. A balanced diet, rich in nutritional value, supports the rohini layer.

7.Mamsadhara: This innermost layer is the platform for the skin's stability and firmness. When this layer is in balance, the skin looks young and supple. A skin product that has a vayasthapana effect nourishes this layer to help retard the aging process.

Ayurvedic formulations for the skin, both internal and external, seek to combine herbs to positively influence multiple layers of the skin. Turmeric, for example, impacts the avabhasini layer because it is a complexion-enhancer, the lohita layer because it helps purify the blood, the tamra layer, because it is an immunomodulator, and the rohini layer, because it is an anti-inflammatory. That's why turmeric is found in many ayurvedic formulations for the skin.

We can balance our doshas by following proper ahara and Vihara (diet and life style modifications) .This makes our skin healthy

Vriksh

Vrukshayurveda, the science of plant life and also a 10th-century treatise of that title on the subject ascribed to Surapala, dealt with various species of trees and their growth. Verses 9-23 from this text indicate how mystical beliefs and conservation of ecology was inter-connected.
A person is honored in Vaikuntha for as many thousand years as the days he resides in a house where tulasi is grown.
And if one properly grows bilva, which pleases Lord Siva, in his family, the goddess of riches resides permanently passes on to the sons and grandsons
He who plants even a single asvattha, wherever it may be, as per the prescribed mode, goes to the abode of Hari.
He who has planted dhatri has performed several sacrifices. He has donated the earth. He would be considered a celebate forever.
He who plant a couple of banyan trees as per the prescribed mode would go to the abode of Siva and many heavenly nymphs will attend upon him.
After planting neem trees a person well-versed in dharma attains the abode of Sun. Indeed! He resides there for a long period.
By planting four plaksa trees a person doubtlessly obtains the fruits of Rajasuya sacrifice.
He who plants five or six mango trees attains the abode of Garuda and lives happily forever like gods.
One should plant seven palasa trees or even one. One attains the abode of Brahma and enjoys the company of gods by doing so.
He who himself plants eight udumbara trees or even prompts someone to plant them, rejoices in the lunar world
He who has planted madhuka has propitiated Parvati, has become free from diseases, and has worshipped all deities.
If one plants ksirini, dadimi, rambha, priyala, and panasa, one experiences no affliction for seven births.
He who has knowingly or unknowingly planted ambu is respected as a recluse even while staying in the house.
By planting all kinds of other trees, useful for fruits and flowers, a person gets a reward of thousand cows adorned with jewels.
By planting one asvattha, one picumanda, one nyagrodha, ten tamarind trees, the group of three, viz., kapittha, bilva, and amalaka, and five mango trees, one never visits hell.[5]
Typically, sacred groves are associated with the concept of a presiding deity. Often these sacred deities are numerous nature spirits and guardians associated with HinduJain and Buddhist deities, such as nature spirits known as Yakshas (numerous nature spirits), Nāgas (serpent guardians) and guardian tutelary deities (like ayyanar and amman) are also known. There are over 1000 deities associated with sacred groves in the states of Kerala and Karnataka alone.
