In the age of the Indus Valley, the tribe celebrated fullness and considered the full moon a symbol of peace and prosperity. They marked its advent with a customary ghee-making ceremony, believing ghee to symbolise soma, the source of nourishment, nectar, and bliss. The ghee, infused with magical gifts by Chandra came to be a vitalising ingredient and they used it as a face mask giving it a divine potency that would leave skin satin-soft , supple and glowing.

The Indus civilisation magicked a wide array of ointments, oils and remedies that performed miracles on its people. One of their greatest, most valuable cures, however, was yashada bhasma - zinc oxide. It was hidden deep in the Indus basin, and held glorious properties that instantly healed wounds, calmed the eyes and worked as a shield against the sun. Before long, the Indus people created the first potent salve, pushpanjan.
