Namaste, Your symptoms suggest aggravated Pitta and Vata doshas, often seen postpartum. Excess Pitta can weaken hair roots, cause greying, and lead to inflammation, while aggravated Vata causes dryness, thinning, and dandruff. Post-delivery, Rasa Dhatu (nutrient plasma) depletion can also weaken hair. Diet Eat warm, nourishing foods like ghee, milk, and fresh vegetables. Include foods rich in iron, calcium, and healthy fats like sesame seeds, almonds, and leafy greens. Avoid spicy, fried, and processed foods that increase Pitta. Stay hydrated with warm water and herbal teas. Herbs Take Amla (Indian Gooseberry) for cooling Pitta and rejuvenating hair. Bhringraj and Brahmi are beneficial for hair growth. Apply Triphala powder for internal cleansing if digestion is sluggish. Hair Care Massage the scalp with Bhringraj or Coconut oil mixed with a few drops of Neelibhringadi oil 3-4 times a week. Use a gentle herbal shampoo. Avoid chemical-based hair products. Apply a hair mask using Amla, Brahmi, and Aloe Vera once a week. Lifestyle Practice Abhyanga (self-massage) with warm oil to calm Vata. Ensure 7-8 hours of sleep. Lack of sleep aggravates hair fall. Manage stress through yoga, meditation, or Pranayama. Avoid frequent hair washing and exposure to harsh sun. If the hair fall persists, consult an Ayurvedic Vaidya locally for a tailored approach. With consistent care, your hair can regain its strength and vitality. Namaste.

Hi Reecha, Hair loss after childbirth is often caused by hormonal changes, particularly a drop in estrogen levels, which leads to temporary shedding (postpartum shedding). Nutritional deficiencies (iron, vitamins, and minerals), stress, and thyroid imbalances can also contribute to thinning hair. Additionally, genetics may play a role, and if there's a family history of hair thinning or baldness, it may become more pronounced after pregnancy. Balancing stress, improving nutrition, and consulting with a healthcare provider can help address these issues. 1. Can you tell me if you’re experiencing any stress, changes in your diet, or sleep patterns since your delivery? 2. Also, do you have any other symptoms like fatigue, hormonal imbalances, or skin changes? 3. Hair loss after childbirth can sometimes be linked to hormonal changes, stress, or nutritional deficiencies, and addressing these factors could help improve hair health.

Yeah, hair troubles can feel endless sometimes, right? But let’s dive into Ayurveda and sort it out. From what you’re saying, sounds like an imbalance in Pitta and Vata doshas. After delivery, your body's all over the place, and these issues get way worse. Let's start with nutrition 'cause that's big. Include foods rich in B vitamins and zinc, they’re great for hair. Whole grains, nuts - almonds, walnuts - and green leafy veggies are your friends. But, also, avoid spicy, greasy foods, and caffeine. They mess with Pitta, aggravating hair concerns. Now, for treating the scalp, I'd say try regular scalp massages with warm oil. Coconut or sesame oil with a little bit of bhringaraj oil can work wonders. Do it twice a week, 30 mins before wash, it nourishes hair roots, calms Vata and improves blood circulation. Shampoos that are loaded with chemicals are no good. Use a gentle, herbal shampoo. Maybe try reetha or shikakai to wash your hair, they're natural and less harsh. Greying too early, ah, that can be a sign of Pitta, stress or genetics. But bring natural elements in, like amla; you can eat it, juice it, use it in your hair mask, it's awesome for controlling greying. Also, yoga or meditation can really help reduce stress. Since dandruf's bugging you, consider making a paste with neem leaves. Apply it 30 mins before washing your hair. It has antibacterial properties to help reduce dandruff and purify your scalp. Sound like too much? Start with one or two steps and see how it goes. Just remember, it might take time, so be patient. Small changes can really add up. If things don’t improve, though, maybe chat with a dermatologist or a professional who can look deeper. Balancing doshas is kinda a lifelong thing! But you totally got this. ☺️
