Hair fall can be so frustrating, I totally get you. When it’s been going on for 2 years, we gotta dig deeper to sort this out. Female pattern hair loss is mostly due to hormonal imbalances, stress or even nutritional deficiencies. But don’t worry, Ayurveda’s got some solutions that could help, though it takes time and patience.
First thing, let’s think about your diet. You gotta focus on nourishing the scalp and hair follicles. Eating foods rich in iron, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids can help strengthen the roots. Include spinach, nuts, seeds and legumes… Straight-up nutrient heroes! And make sure you’re getting enough Vitamin D and B-complex, sometimes we just forget these and they are super important.
And… oils! Ayurvedic oils can work wonders. Now, try massaging your scalp twice a week with bhringraj oil or coconut oil infused with hibiscus. They’re great for strengthening the hair follicles. Warm the oil a bit, massage gently, and leave on for a few hours or overnight if possible.
Don’t forget your eyebrows n eyelashes – castor oil is fab for them. Just a small amount, a couple of times a week, using a Q-tip or clean mascara wand should do the trick.
Also, keep stress in check. It often flies under the radar, but stress can be a massive hair enemy. Meditation and deep breathing can really help, even 10 mins can be beneficial.
Speaking of balance, your doshas might be off, so see if you can identify your prakriti and work on any vata or pitta imbalances. Overactive pitta can cause inflammation, poor digestion, and nutrition absorption, which messes with hair growth. Incorporating cooling and calming practices into daily routine can ease these doshas.
Lastly, if hormonal imbalances are suspected, like thyroid issues or PCOS, it might be worth checking them out with a doc. Ayurveda rocks, but combining it with modern medicine when needed is the smart play. Remember, always go with safe and gentle approaches and consistency is key!
