The concerns about thinning and itchy hair can be tied to both lifestyle factors and possibly the medications you’re using, especially given your existing conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. Ayurvedically speaking, these ailments can be linked to imbalances in your Vata and Pitta doshas. Particularly, the itching can be aggravated by excess pitta, which is heating by nature.
For addressing hair thinning and itchiness, consider incorporating a few Ayurvedic practices into your routine. Begin with your diet, as it is fundamental in Ayurveda. Ensure you’re consuming a balanced diet rich in proteins — dal, paneer, and nuts can be good sources. Also include healthy fats like ghee and coconut oil, which nourish the scalp and hair. Avoid overly spicy, oily, or processed foods as they increase pitta and can worsen itching.
Next, try massaging your scalp with cooling oils like coconut oil or brahmi oil. Massaging improves circulation to the hair follicles and can reduce dryness caused by Vata imbalance. Do this at least twice a week, letting the oil stay for at least 1 hour before washing it off.
When it comes to shampooing, choose natural or mild shampoos without harsh chemicals. Adding a few drops of neem oil in ur usual shampoo can help soothe an itchy scalp due to its antibacterial properties.
Stress can really imbalance Vata and Pitta dosha, so incorporate practices like meditation, pranayama or yoga to manage stress levels. Aim for a maintaining consistent sleep schedule to help balance the doshas.
Finally, because you’re undergoing medical treatment for diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, it’s essential to consult with your healthcare provider before making significant changes, especially concerning supplements or drastic dietary changes. If any skin condition worsens, seeing a dermatologist is advisable.
✔️ क्या करें: ✔️ हाइड्रेटेड रहें। छाछ पिएं। डेयरी का सेवन सीमित करें। घर का बना संतुलित आहार खाएं। तनाव मुक्त जीवनशैली अपनाएं। प्राणायाम: अनुलोम विलोम, त्राटक योग: शीर्षासन, पश्चिमोत्तानासन, त्रिकोणासन।
❌ क्या न करें: ❌ तेल और मसालेदार खाना। प्रोसेस्ड फूड। प्रिजर्व किया हुआ खाना। पैक और रेडी टू ईट आइटम्स। अचार पापड़ सूखी मछली दही
💊 दवाइयाँ: 💊
टैब. लक्षादी गुग्गुल खाने से पहले दिन में दो बार 2 टैबलेट्स। टैब. अस्थिपोषक वटी खाने के बाद दिन में दो बार 1 टैबलेट। सिरप रक्तदोषांतक खाने के बाद दिन में दो बार 2 चम्मच।
नारियल तेल + नीम की पत्तियाँ (कुछ) + गुड़हल के फूल (10-15) + मेथी के दाने (20-30) + प्याज का रस/कद्दूकस किया हुआ प्याज। इसे धीमी आंच पर आधे घंटे तक उबालें। इस तेल को हफ्ते में दो या तीन बार बाल धोने से एक रात पहले लगाएं।
777 शैम्पू (जेके फार्मा) या G3 हेयर शैम्पू (अभिनव फार्मा) का उपयोग करें, जो भी आपके लिए आसानी से उपलब्ध हो।
पंचेंद्रिय वर्धन तैलम। सुबह खाली पेट प्रत्येक नथुने में 2 बूंद डालें। तेल को गुनगुना कर लें।
अगर आप अपने नजदीकी पंचकर्म केंद्र में शिरोधारा, शिरो पिचु और शिरो स्वेदन प्रक्रिया करवा सकते हैं, तो आपको बेहतरीन परिणाम मिल सकते हैं।
बालों का पतला होना और खुजली चिंता का विषय हो सकता है, खासकर जब डायबिटीज, हाई ब्लड प्रेशर और हाई कोलेस्ट्रॉल जैसी समस्याएं भी हों। ये आपके शरीर के संतुलन या दोषों, खासकर वात और पित्त को प्रभावित कर सकते हैं। बालों के पतले होने को रोकने के लिए पोषण पर ध्यान दें और स्कैल्प की गर्मी को कम करें। नारियल तेल में थोड़ा ब्राह्मी और आंवला पाउडर मिलाकर हल्का गर्म करें और इसे हफ्ते में दो से तीन बार अपने स्कैल्प पर मसाज करें। इससे स्कैल्प की सेहत में सुधार हो सकता है और खुजली कम हो सकती है।
पसीने के दौरान खुजली का कारण अधिक पित्त या गर्मी हो सकती है जो त्वचा को प्रभावित करती है। चंदन का पेस्ट या गुलाब जल जैसे ठंडक देने वाले हर्ब्स को स्कैल्प पर टोनर के रूप में लगाने से राहत मिल सकती है। आपको मसालेदार खाने और कैफीन वाले पेय से बचना चाहिए, क्योंकि ये पित्त को बढ़ा सकते हैं।
अपने आहार का प्रबंधन भी महत्वपूर्ण है। खीरा, तरबूज और हरी पत्तेदार सब्जियों जैसे ठंडक देने वाले खाद्य पदार्थ शामिल करें जो पित्त को शांत करते हैं। हाइड्रेशन जरूरी है, दिन भर में पर्याप्त पानी पीने से टॉक्सिन्स को बाहर निकालने में मदद मिल सकती है। आपका अग्नि या पाचन अग्नि ध्यान देने योग्य है। नियमित भोजन का रूटीन बनाए रखना, बिना भोजन छोड़े, ब्लड शुगर को स्थिर कर सकता है, जो वात और कफ के संतुलन को सपोर्ट करता है।
आपकी दवाओं को देखते हुए, अपने प्राथमिक स्वास्थ्य सेवा प्रदाता से परामर्श किए बिना उन्हें बदलना महत्वपूर्ण नहीं है। सिद्ध-आयुर्वेदिक दृष्टिकोण को एलोपैथिक उपचार के साथ मिलाना अक्सर पूरक हो सकता है, हालांकि, प्रतिकूल इंटरैक्शन को रोकने के लिए आपके स्वास्थ्य सेवा टीम के साथ समन्वय महत्वपूर्ण है। यदि लक्षण बने रहते हैं, तो एक आयुर्वेदिक चिकित्सक से व्यक्तिगत उपचार के लिए सलाह लें।
