Healthy skin, hair, and nails reflect far more than surface care—they reveal the state of digestion, inflammation, circulation, hormones, and detoxification beneath the surface. In this four-part series, K.P. Khalsa and integrative dermatologist Dr. Raja Sivamani explore natural, herbal, and lifestyle-based approaches to beauty and dermatologic health from both traditional and modern perspectives. Students learn how chronic skin conditions develop, why they persist, and how to address them at the root using diet, herbs, topical strategies, and Ayurvedic principles. This series offers a comprehensive, whole-systems framework for supporting radiant skin, resilient hair, and strong nails at any stage of life.

Beauty is not superficial—it is physiological. In this in-depth four-part course, K.P. Khalsa and board-certified dermatologist Dr. Raja Sivamani present an integrative, systems-based approach to skin, hair, and nail wellness that bridges herbal medicine, Ayurveda, nutrition, and modern dermatologic science.
Rather than focusing on cosmetic fixes, the series examines why chronic skin conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, pigmentation changes, hair thinning, and brittle nails develop—and why they are often resistant to treatment. Students gain insight into the internal drivers of dermatologic imbalance, including inflammation, oxidative stress, hormonal shifts, digestive weakness, liver congestion, immune dysregulation, and toxic exposure.
Each part of the series focuses on a specific aspect of beauty and dermatologic health:
Facial skin and aging, including wrinkles, pigmentation changes, and loss of vitality
Hair wellness, with emphasis on scalp health, shedding patterns, and regrowth support
Nail health, addressing brittleness, weakness, and structural integrity
The hair–skin connection, including Ayurvedic insights into what hair patterns reveal about systemic imbalance
The course also integrates topical and internal strategies—demonstrating how herbs, foods, oils, minerals, and lifestyle choices work together to restore balance. Students explore how to reduce inflammation, support detoxification, nourish connective tissue, and protect the skin from environmental stressors, including sun exposure, without relying solely on pharmaceuticals or cosmetic interventions.
Drawing on decades of clinical experience and research, Khalsa and Sivamani provide a rare, balanced perspective that honors both traditional wisdom and evidence-informed dermatology. The result is a practical, empowering framework for lifelong beauty rooted in whole-body health.
