Honey Sehgal – clearing mind and skin
The Hari Mandir in Amritsar, Punjab, known popularly as the Golden Temple, is the holiest shrine in Sikhism.
Although the building itself has great historical and architectural interest, it is the Golden Temple’s great spiritual value for Sikh believers, like Honey Sehgal, that is most meaningful.
“You can say it’s like heaven,” she says of a visit to the Hari Mandir.
Honey Sehgal has set herself up in a small New Market street establishment in Georgetown called the “The Radiant Touch.”
She has a photo of the Hari Mandir conveniently placed above the entrance to the massage bed in the tiny room where she works to improve the condition of the body’s largest organ – the skin. In a sense, she wants to bring that deep spiritual experience to her clients.
On a shelf in the visitor’s area there are several Himalaya herbal products such as Neem face wash, which, the label claims, gently cleanses the skin by removing excess oil and impurities.
The bacteria fighting Neem, Himalaya claims, when combined with turmeric, effectively controls acne and pimples.
The Himalaya products are said to combine the best of Ayurveda with years of dedicated research. Honey Sehgal recommends the Himalaya products, but she also finds her remedies in the juice extracted from local fruits such as papaw, cucumber and orange.
Honey Sehgal came to Guyana a few years ago, and she is using the “simple living, higher thoughts” mantra her parents inculcated in her to apply it to her practice.
Her background is in information and communications technology, but she also studied skin care and cosmetology.
Honey Sehgal
When she came to Guyana, she spoke to a few people about what could get rid of their skin problems, “and they were very pleased.” She decided to give it a try, working on a few clients, “and I started seeing results.”
In 2007, she opened Radiant Touch, working mainly on clients with problems of acne, blemishes, dark circles, double chin, fat reduction and pigmentation. She also deals with hair problems, including premature graying and “rough hair.”
Of every 100 clients, Honey Sehgal boasts that she sees results in 95 of them.
“I am very focused in my work. When somebody has a problem, I try my best to correct it.”
She says the biggest problem facing Guyanese is exposure to harmful ultraviolet rays. To help patients, Sehgal mixes her own herbal therapy, using local products as well as imported ingredients used in skin care products.
She suggests that there are simple things Guyanese can do to take care of their skin. This includes drinking lime juice and drinking a lot of water.
Sehgal is also a strong believer in yoga and its power to develop in a person’s physical and mental stamina.
As a result, she is also embarking on a programme to empower individuals – from professionals to housewives – to bolster their self-confidence.
Honey Sehgal is therefore not focused on making you radiant from the outside only.
