Hair loss is often tied to underlying imbalances in the body, from an Ayurvedic lens, especially issues with pitta dosha or a weak agni (digestive fire). At 35, experiencing hair loss at the center could be sign of excess heat (pitta) affecting the scalp. Here are some strategies rooted in Ayurveda, alongside your current routine to promote hair health.
First, focusing on diet can help a lot. Incorporate foods that help balance pitta, like cooling and hydrating options such as cucumber, watermelon, coconut water, and sweet fruits. Avoid excessively spicy, caffeinated or fried foods that elevate pitta levels. Including ghee - clarified butter - in moderate amounts can also be nourishing for the hair.
Next, consider Ayurvedic herbs and treatments. Bhringraj, Amla and Neem are excellent for hair loss and stimulating new growth. A regular weekly scalp massage using Bhringraj oil can enhance circulation and promote healthy follicles. Aloe vera gel, applied mildly on the scalp, can offer cooling and nourishment reducing pitta aggravation.
Alongside these topical treatments, internal Ayurvedic formulations can also support hair growth from within. Try taking an Amla or Triphala supplement which help detoxify the body and balance doshas. Consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized recommendations, ensuring you address any personal health conditions.
Finally, avoid stress, which can exacerbate hair loss. Practice yoga, pranayama, and meditation regularly to keep stress levels at bay. It’s a journey that may take a some time but consistency with this approach, along with your concern for natural products, will be advantageous. Make sure the products you use are suitable for your prakriti (body type). Remember, significant changes like rapid hair loss should be discussed with a healthcare provider to rule out deeper health issues.
