You’re definitely on the right track, exploring Ayurveda for hair care. Kerala, being a hub for traditional Ayurveda, offers a wealth of herbs and oils that can totally do wonders for hair health. Now let’s dive into those remedies.
You’re right about Neelibhringadi Thailam. It’s indeed fantastic for strengthening the hair roots. Its cooling properties are also great for balancing pitta, often linked with hair fall issues. Massage your scalp with this oil about twice a week, in circular motions, and leave it on for an hour before washing. Don’t rush it; consistency is key here.
If stress is a contributing factor (it often is), Brahmi and Bringraj might help. Brahmi’s calming effects can help soothe the scalp, and Bringraj improve circulation, yes, but it also nourishes the roots. You might want to alternate them — use Brahmi oil one week and Bringraj the next. And hey, those relaxing scalp massages are like a spa treatment for your soul and hair.
For natural conditioning, try Hibiscus, combine fresh Hibiscus flowers with a bit of coconut oil, and apply as a hair pack. Amla and Shikakai will be your buddies when it comes to cleansing. Mix these into a paste, use it in place of traditional shampoo, and notice the difference in the softness and shine of your hair. Keep two things in mind: ritually doing this over weeks, and patience. Rome wasn’t built in a day, right?
Diet-wise, support these external treatments with a Vata and Pitta-balancing diet. Eat more whole grains, green leafy veggies, and healthy fats like nuts and seeds, & cut back on spicy, fried foods. Hydration is key too, drink water throughout the day.
Will they clog your bathroom notys? Maybe. But the commitment could pay off for long-term hair health. Ayurveda is about prevention and balance, build a routine and give it some time, you’re likely to see not just stop signs for hair fall but also some promising spurts of new growth.
Just keep an eye on things—if you notices issues or no changes, might be good to chat with a local Ayurvedic practitioner.
