My hair loses alot - #486

Hair loss can be frustrating, even more when it feels like it’s all happening at once. Thyroid, low BP and heart issues can all contribute to this thinning hair situation you’re dealing with. First things first, it’s important to ensure your thyroid levels are properly managed with the help of your current medications. Hypothyroidism is known to cause hair fall, so your doctor might need to keep a close eye on this for you. And heart health? Well, that’s critical too, so make sure your medications and lifestyle support that as well.

From an ayurvedic perspective, hair loss is often considered a sign of Vata or Pitta imbalance, depends on symptoms like dryness, itchiness or burning sensation on the scalp. Keeping a consistent routine might help you – warming oil massages once or twice a week could be quite beneficial. Something like sesame or coconut oil could do the trick, just slightly warmed up and massaged gently into the scalp, boosting circulation and reinforcing root strength. Make sure to leave it on for one, maybe two hours before you wash with a gentle cleanser.

And diet, let’s not overlook it. Include nourishing whole grains like barley, brown rice, and oats; incorporate good fats from avocados or nuts, plus leafy greens to provide important nutrients daily. You could think about sipping on nettle or fenugreek tea – it’s said to be quite fortifying for hair.

Hydration matters too, especially if low blood pressure is in the mix. Keep water on you, make it a habit. Stick with warm or room temperature, it’s easier for digestion. Stress, well, it’s hard to avoid, but try some deep breathing, meditation or simple walks outside to keep it in check.

Lastly, Ayurveda would suggest getting your specific constitution checked. Dosha assessment might refine the approach further to tackle this hairlost. If you can, consult with an ayurvedic practitioner, they could tailor everything more specifically to you.

Remember, while Ayurveda can be really helpful, make sure to coordinate with your doctors, especially with existing medical conditions, ya know? That holistic view can work wonders alongside your current treatments.
