How to reduce grey hair and hair loss - #21501

Sure, I get how frustrating that must be! Let’s try to make sense of things one step at a time, alright? Ayurveda often looks into imbalances in doshas. For hair issues like greying, hair fall and dandruff, there’s often a doshic imbalance possibly involving Pitta and maybe a touch of Vata going on. But don’t worry, there are definitely ways to address this! Starting with grey hair: Greying can be linked to Pitta dosha, which sometimes needs a bit of calming down. Stress, diet, and lifestyle can stoke Pitta, causing premature greying. Try including foods that pacify Pitta, like sweet, bitter, and astringent tastes. Think of having cooling foods like cucumbers, melons, and a bit of coconut. Nettle tea or amla (Indian gooseberry) is great here too, it's a powerhouse for hair health. Include amla in your diet as a juice or a supplement. For hair fall! Massage your scalp with oils that suit the condition; bhringraj oil or a warm sesame oil massage can actually soothe an agitated scalp. This helps in reducing Vata's dryness that might be causing hair fall. A good scalp massage increases blood circulation, giving your hair follicles some love. Dandruff can be sneaky. It can be due to dry scalp (Vata) or too much sweating oiliness (Kapha). Fenugreek seeds soaked overnight and made into a paste work wonders–apply it to the scalp and let it sit for around 20 minutes before washing. Pretty simple! Try doing this a couple of times a week. Don’t forget, reducing stress is major! Meditation, pranayam, or just going for walks can really make a difference in your overall hair health. Avoid hot water while washing your hair, as it can aggravate Pitta, and try to stick with lukewarm instead, plus don’t wash your hair too frequently–2 to 3 times a week is absolutely fine. Lifestyle changes can make a real difference here, doubt isnt a solution–consistency is key. And if things don’t change or worsen, consulting a qualified practitioner can definitely offer more personalized recommendations tailored to your unique constitution.
