Ashwagandha -1/2 tsp with warm milk at night

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.

Ayurveda offers a range of natural solutions that might help with your situation.. It's common to experience allergic reactions to chemical hair dyes, but there are gentler, natural alternatives you can try. However, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional or dermatologist before trying new remedies, especially if you've had severe reactions in the past.
You can consider using henna (Lawsonia inermis) for coloring hair. It's a natural plant dye that can give a reddish-brown color, and by combining it with other ingredients, you can achieve darker shades. To use it safely, choose a pure, organic henna powder without added chemicals. Before applying it to all your hair, do a patch test on a small section of your skin to ensure there's no allergic reaction.
For a darker color, you can mix henna with indigo powder. First apply henna paste (mixed with water and a dash of lemon, leave it on for several hours), rinse it, dry your hair, and then apply the indigo (mixed with warm water and little salt) paste. Leave the indigo on for a few hours and then rinse. This two-step process can result in a dark brown or black shade.
Apart from coloring, nourishing the hair and scalp is crucial. Incorporate Amla (Indian gooseberry) oil or powder into your hair care routine. Rich in vitamin C, Amla is great for strengthening the hair and reducing greying over time, Apply the oil 2-3 times a week, leaving it on overnight or at least for a few hours before washing.
Additionally, you might want to adjust your diet to support hair health. Consuming foods rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals (like Vitamin C, E, and B-complex) is beneficial. Greens, nuts, seeds, and whole grains are particularly good for promoting healthy hair.
Remember always to prioritize safety and ensure the products you use, even natural ones, are from reputable sources. Also, if your scalp reacts adversely, like experiencing severe redness, itching, or burning, discontinue use immediately and consult with a healthcare provider to address any persistent allergy issues.
