You’re totally onto something with amla and aloe vera juice for hair issues. These two are like Ayurveda’s dynamic duo for hair care.
Amla, or Indian Gooseberry, is packed with vitamin C, which helps strengthen hair follicles and promotes growth. Plus, it’s got antioxidants that help fight oxidative stress, important for preventing hair fall. Aloe vera, on other hand, hydrates the scalp, reducing dandruff and adding that much-needed shine. Each has its own perks but they go well together too.
Now, about consuming it or applying it. Honestly, both methods can help, but they work differently. Drinking amla and aloe vera juice regularly can boost your overall health, and in turn, your hair might just get that extra boost too. For consumption, start with a small amount like 20-30 ml each of the juice in 1 glass of water, once daily, preferably in the morning on an empty stomach.
For topical application, you can fresh-squeeze aloe vera gel mixed with amla juice and apply it directly to the scalp. Leave it on for about 30 minutes before washing it off with a mild shampoo. Adding a bit of coconut oil to this mix boosts the moisturizing effect. Try this 1-2 times a week.
Expect to see noticeable changes like reduction in hair fall or dryness in about 4-6 weeks, if you’re consistent.
But yeah, watch out for side effects. For most people, it’s safe, but if your scalp feels irritated from the topical application, ease up on it. Consuming it might cause an upset stomach for some, especially if you overdo it, so start small, monitor.
Hope this helps! If anyone else has used this combo, share your experiences! Sometimes, real-life stories give the best insights.
