Normal varna of an individual has to be considered under two headings: Sahaja (the colour and complexion, which is since birth, falls under this category) and Jatottara (due to exposure external factors like sun-exposure, hot atmosphere, humidity, pollution, etc sometimes the complexion of an individual becomes different from the one he was born with). </span></li>

<li style="font-weight:bold">The concept of varna an Ayurvedic prospective<ref name="ref16">Brahma S, Sharma MK (2018). The Concept of Varna An Ayurvedic Prospective. World Journal of Pharmaceutical Research, Volume 7, Issue 18, 450-460. ISSN 2277–7105.</ref><br/><span style="font-weight:normal">Apart from other factors, this article also discusses the relation of varna with stress,ACTH and adrenocortical secretion. Almost any type of physical and mental stress can lead within minutes to greatly enhanced secretions of ACTH and consequently cortisol as well (> 20 folds). When ACTH is secreted by the anterior pituitary gland, several other hormones like melanocytes stimulating hormone (MSH), lipotropin, and endotrophin that have similar chemical structures are secreted simultaneously. The reason for this is the gene transcribed to form the RNA molecule that causes ACTH synthesis initially causes the formation of a considerably larger protein, a preprohormone called proopiomelanocortin (POMC), which is the precursor of ACTH and several other peptides, including MSH, beta-lipotropin, beta-endorphin and few others. Under normal condition, most of these hormones are not secreted in enough quantity by the pituitary. But when the rate of secretion of ACTH is high, some of the POMC derived hormones may also be increased. The POMC gene is actively transcribed in several tissues, like cells of dermis and lymphoid tissue. In melanocytes, located abundantly between the dermis and epidermis of the skin, MSH stimulates formation of black pigment melanin and disperses into the epidermis. On the other hand within minutes the entire sequence leads to large quantities of cortisol in blood. It circulates through blood to reach skin cells. It slows down the skin cells and make cells take long time to get to the surface and peel off. Therefore, the dead skin cells enhance, resulting lifeless and looks of the skin. Along with that overstress situation moves the blood away from the skin, and a little amount of blood moves around, which turns again insufficient supply of oxygen through the skin. In this process, the skin doesn’t get the required nourishment, which results in pale and dull skin.</span></li></ol>
