is bhringrajasava good for hair loss or just a temporary fix? - #1879

Anonymously

My hair has been thinning a lot in the past year, especially around the temples. I’ve tried a few shampoos and supplements, but nothing seems to stop the shedding. Someone at a local Ayurvedic shop recommended Bhringrajasava, saying it’s a potent tonic for hair health, not just for stopping hair fall but also for promoting new growth. But I’m not sure if it’s really effective or if it’s just another remedy people try without real results. Has anyone used Bhringrajasava for hair problems? Did it actually help with hair loss, or did you see any side effects? Also, how long do you need to take it before noticing any changes? I’m worried about wasting more money on things that don’t work.

Bhringrajasava is an Ayurvedic herbal tonic traditionally used for hair health. It is made from Bhringraj, a well-known herb in Ayurveda, reputed for promoting hair growth, reducing hair fall, and improving scalp health by nourishing hair roots and balancing the doshas.

Effectiveness:
Hair Fall: Bhringrajasava is believed to strengthen hair follicles and improve scalp circulation, potentially reducing hair thinning and shedding.
Hair Growth: Regular use might stimulate new hair growth, though results can vary depending on the cause of hair loss (hormonal, nutritional, or stress-related).
Other Benefits: It also helps address stress and supports liver health, which indirectly contributes to better hair health.
Usage and Results:
Duration: Visible results might take 2–3 months of consistent use.
Dosage: Typically, 15–20 ml twice a day after meals, diluted with water, but consult a practitioner for personalized advice.
Side Effects:
Generally safe when used in moderation, but overuse can cause digestive discomfort. It's not recommended during pregnancy or for those with alcohol sensitivity, as it contains a mild alcoholic base.
If the hair loss is due to underlying issues like nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, or scalp conditions, pairing Bhringrajasava with dietary changes and lifestyle adjustments (as advised in Ayurveda) can enhance results. For persistent hair loss, consult a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner.
