how to stop hair fall naturally - #23267

Jackson

I am really worried about my hair fall lately. It started about three months ago after a stressful month at work, and now I'm losing so much hair every time I wash or brush it. I've tried some shampoos, but they don’t seem to help. My friend mentioned something about how to stop hair fall naturally, but I have no idea where to start! I've heard of some herbs, and maybe oils, but what really works? I wanna know how to stop hair fall naturally without resorting to harsh chemicals. Any suggestions would be super helpful! Also, is there a particular diet or lifestyle change I should consider? Thanks, everyone!

Hair fall can be quite distressing, rest assured, understanding its root cause often leads to effective solutions. Ayurvedic principles suggest that hair fall links to imbalances in doshas, particularly the Pitta dosha, and stress could also be a significant factor here, as you’ve noted a stressful period before it started. Here are some natural Ayurvedic methods you might consider:

Start with oils; regular oil massage is vital in Ayurveda for healthy hair. Bhringraj oil or coconut oil enriched with herbs like Amla, Neem or Brahmi can nourish the scalp. Massage the scalp with warm oil 2-3 times a week before washing; it stimulates blood circulation, promoting hair growth.

Incorporate certain herbs into your daily routine. Amla, rich in Vitamin C, strengthens hair and prevents premature graying. You can take it as a supplement or use Amla powder mixed with water as hair pack. Another herb, Brahmi, helps reduce stress-related hair fall, take it in powdered form with milk or consult an ayurvedic practitioner for dosage.

Focusing on diet is crucial. Consuming a balanced diet rich in proteins, and vitamins is essential. Include foods like almonds, walnuts, spinach, carrots, and yogurt. They supply necessary nutrients that support hair health.

Lifestyle changes such as managing stress could make significant difference too. Try yoga, meditation, or pranayama (breathing exercises) for stress relief. Regular exercise also balances hormones and improves overall health, indirectly affecting hair growth.

Finally, avoid hot water when washing your hair, as it strips essential oils. Use mild shampoos, preferably herbal ones. Limit hair styling tools that heat hair, as they can cause damage.

These approaches align with Ayurvedic teachings. However, if the hair fall persists or if you notice it escalating, consulting a healthcare professional to rule out medical conditions such as thyroid problems or anemia might be wise.
