Premature greying from such an early age suggests Pitta-Vata imbalance, weak liver function, nutritional deficiencies, or hereditary factors. Since topical remedies haven’t worked, we need to focus on internal healing, diet, and stress management along with external care.
Amla (Indian Gooseberry) + Brahmi + Bhringraj Powder – Take ½ tsp daily with warm water to nourish hair from within.
Ashwagandha -1/2 tsp with warm milk at night
Triphala (½ tsp at bedtime)
Curry Leaves (Kadi Patta) Juice or Powder –take with buttermilk or warm water.
Eat black sesame seeds + jaggery (1 tsp daily).
Drink fresh Amla juice or consume raw Amla daily.
Include ghee, soaked almonds, walnuts, dates, and coconut in your diet.
Avoid spicy, fermented, and processed foods, as they worsen Pitta.
Henna + Indigo Powder – Natural remedy for greying (if you want to darken the hair naturally).
Rinse hair with black tea or curry leaf water.

Dealing with premature greying is quite troublesome, especially when the usual methods don't seem to work. When looking through the Ayurvedic lens, it's important to consider factors that might be contributing to this phenomenon. According to Ayurveda, premature greying often ties back to an imbalance in the pitta dosha, which governs transformation in the body. Often stress, smoking, hormonal imbalances, and poor dietary habits exacerbate this.
Firstly, let's talk about the changes you can make in your diet. Focus on foods that pacify pitta dosha. This includes incorporating cooling foods like cucumbers, melons, and leafy greens. Try to limit spicy, salty, and sour foods, as they can increase pitta. Incorporate almonds, walnuts, and sesame seeds, as they are nourishing and support hair health. Consider adding amla (Indian gooseberry) to your diet, either as a supplement or in powder form to enrich your scalp from within.
Hydration is key, and not just through water. Herbal teas like chamomile or mint can be quite beneficial. Keep stress at bay through regular practice of yoga or meditation, which helps maintain emotional balance vital for healthy hair.
For external hair care, coconut oil with a few drops of Bhringraj oil or Brahmi extract may help. Massage gently into the scalp to improve circulation and nourish the hair roots. Leave it on for a few hours or overnight before washing it off with a mild ayurvedic shampoo.
Also, give yourself a break from chemical-laden hair products and opt for natural shampoos. Remember, sometimes it's not just one solution; it's a combination of lifestyle changes that bring about change.
Lastly, if greying continues to be persistent, consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner to look deeper into any hidden imbalances or explore more personalized remedies could be a good next step. Sometimes, persistent or worsening symptoms may indicate underlying health issues, so it's important to ensure all is well on a broader health level, too.
