Excess sebum production, thinning of hair, and graying can be a complex issue, especially when compounded history of stress and use of particular shampoos. Let’s try to tackle this from an Ayurvedic perspective, focusing on how to balance the underlying dosha imbalance contribute to these issues.

Firstly, excess sebum often relates to an imbalance in the Kapha dosha. One way of reducing sebum is to include dry and warming foods in your diet while avoiding overly oily and heavy meals. Regular consumption of spicy foods like ginger, black pepper, and turmeric can help in pacifying the Kapha dosha.

For your thinning hair, nourish your hair follicles and scalp by applying Brahmi oil or Bhringraj oil onto the scalp 2 to 3 times a week before bed. These oils are renowned in Ayurveda for promoting hair strength and reducing hair loss. It might also help to include amla, an excellent source of vitamin C, in your diet or as a supplement, considering it’s known to prevent premature graying and improve the texture of hair.

Engage in regular scalp massage to boost blood circulation. You might use your fingertips gently for about 10 minutes daily; this increases the flow to your scalp, nourishing the hair roots.

In terms of lifestyle modifications, adequate sleep cannot be emphasized enough; establish a routine that allows for 7-8 hours of restful sleep each night. This is crucial for reducing further hair greying and overall bodily balance. Creating a serene bedtime ritual with calming herbal teas, such as chamomile, might be of significant help.

Avoid over-reliance on chemical-based shampoos, if possible, as they can strip natural oils from your hair. You can prepare a homemade cleanser using reetha (soapnut), shikakai, and amla powder boiled together into a paste for a gentle, yet effective, alternative.

If you experience continued hair loss or other concerning symptoms, it’s wise to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner or dermatologist. While addressing these issues through natural remedies can be beneficial, it’s always important to ensure your approach is safe and suitable for your specific situation.
