Diet and Lifestyle

Pathya: Fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, nutritious food, adequate sleep

Apathya: Avoid salt, sugar, tobacco, and alcohol. Overconsumption of salt and sugar increases dandruff and hairloss. Avoid large amounts of vitamin A.

Avoid strong soaps, shampoo or hair sprays. Only use mild castile soaps. Hats and wigs are apt to cause hair to fall out faster, since they limit the air to the scalp. Avoid tension, stress, worry and hurry

HELLO RETIKA SHAH,

-Your hair was naturally shiny and thick, which means your body constitution gave you good asthi dhatu (bone tissue) and strong nourishment. -Over the last few years, due to hormonal imbalance (pcod history), surgery stress, and metabolic slowdown, the hair “supply line” got disturbed.

In Ayurveda, -Kapha-> made scalp oily and sometimes blocked follicles -Vata-> dried up the strands, caused tangling, weakness, and breakage -Pitta-> when aggravated, creates heat/inflammation at roots, leading to shedding

So it’s not just “bad hair”, it’s a mix of internal imbalance + external stress + hormonal shifts

Hairfall and thinning can be distressing, especially when combined with conditions like PCOD that can affect hormonal balance. Ayurveda focuses on the root cause, often linked to dosha imbalance, particularly Pitta. Here are several ways to address your hair issues:

First, diet is crucial. Incorporate Pitta-pacifying foods, such as sweet, bitter, and astringent tastes. Avoid excessive spicy, sour, and salty foods. Include leafy greens, almonds, and sesame seeds in your diet – they provide essential nutrients for hair strength. Also, ensure that you’re hydrating well, aim for 8-10 glasses of water a day to keep your scalp from becoming overly oily.

Stress can contribute significantly to hairfall, so practicing regular stress management techniques is essential. Incorporate daily Pranayama, especially Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing), for at least 10 minutes. Yoga postures like Sarvangasana or Headstand (if you’re familiar with these poses), can improve blood circulation to the scalp.

Massaging your scalp with warm oil can be very beneficial. Use oils like coconut or almond oil infused with bhringraj or amla. Massage gently in circular motions for 10-15 minutes, leave it for a few hours, and then wash with a mild, chemical-free shampoo.

Regarding herbal support, consider taking supplements like Triphala. It aids in detoxification, supporting your body holistically. Another useful herb is Ashwagandha, which has adaptogenic properties that can help manage stress levels.

For your dry hair, avoid washing them every day. Instead, wash every 2-3 days, using lukewarm water. Over-washing can strip natural oils, exacerbating dryness. After washing, use natural conditioners like aloe vera gel or diluted apple cider vinegar rinse for extra moisture.

Since you’ve had surgery, ensure your body is getting enough rest; this is crucial for recovery and reducing stress, thus indirectly assisting in hair health. If your hair concerns persist, consider getting a full dosha analysis from an Ayurvedic practitioner for a more personalized approach.

Hair thinning and breakage can be distressing, and from an Ayurvedic perspective, it can often be linked to imbalances in your doshas, particularly an increase in pitta or vata, possibly aggravated by the PCOD history you’ve mentioned. We need to address both internal and external factors for effective hair care.

Firstly, focus on diet. Eating a balanced diet rich in proteins, iron, and vitamins like B, C, D and E can strengthen hair. Incorporating leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and amla (Indian gooseberry) may be beneficial. Avoid excessively spicy, greasy, and processed foods as they might elevate pitta, exacerbating hair issues.

Internal cleansing can help balance the doshas. Try incorporating a gentle detox using triphala churna — take it with warm water before bed. This might support digestion and nutrient absorption.

For external care, a weekly scalp massage with medicated oils such as bhringraj or neem oil can nourish the scalp and strengthen hair roots. Gentle scalp massages can improve circulation. Use a mild herbal shampoo and avoid excessive use of hair tools and styling products.

Stay hydrated, aiming for 7-8 glasses of water a day to maintain scalp health. Also, managing stress through yoga, meditation or pranayama (breathing exercises) can balance your mental state and indirectly affect hair health positively.

Since your situation involves prior surgery and PCOD, ensure these don’t compound existing conditions. If hairfall continues or worsens, consult with a healthcare professional to explore if other underlying causes need addressing. Also, it is wise to avoid using hot water for hair washes, as it can dry the hair further. Use lukewarm instead.

Remember, while Ayurvedic care can provide support and improvement potentially, it’s important to continuously evaluate your condition and adjust your approach as necessary with the help of a healthcare provider familiar with your medical history.
