What is alopecia and how can Ayurveda help treat hair loss naturally? - #16638
I’ve recently noticed that I’m experiencing significant hair loss, especially around my temples and the crown of my head. The hair loss seems to be more than just the normal shedding that happens during the changing seasons, and I’ve even started seeing some bald spots. I went to the doctor, who diagnosed me with alopecia, but I was told there isn’t much they can do aside from prescribing some medications that could have side effects. I’ve heard that alopecia can sometimes be linked to autoimmune conditions, genetic factors, or even stress, and I’m wondering how Ayurveda approaches hair loss. Does Ayurveda offer herbal remedies or treatments to regrow hair and stop hair loss naturally? I’ve read that Bhringraj, Amla, and Ashwagandha are helpful in promoting hair growth and improving scalp health, but I’m not sure how to incorporate them into my routine. I’ve also heard that Ayurvedic oil massages for the scalp can improve circulation and stimulate hair follicles—how can I best use these treatments? If anyone has successfully treated alopecia or hair thinning with Ayurvedic remedies, I’d love to hear about your experience and how you managed your hair health.
