can onion juice regrow hair - #23632
I am really worried about my hair thinning out lately. Like, it feels like every time I wash it, there are more and more strands on my fingers, ugh! A friend mentioned that can onion juice regrow hair and I was like, really? I've heard some wild things, but this sounded so specific. After googling it, I feel like I just keep going in loops. Some people swear by onion juice, saying it did wonders for them, but others say it didn't do squat. I tried it for a week, just applying it straight and honestly, it stunk up the bathroom. I don't know if I had the right approach or if I was patient enough? Aside from that, I've also been stressed with work and lately, eating a ton of junk... could that be affecting how onion juice works? If can onion juice regrow hair, how long should I actually wait to see results? Ugh, help! Any tips, or am I just deluding myself?

Doctors’ responses
It’s understandable to feel anxious about hair thinning, especially when it seems to be happening so quickly. Onion juice has indeed been touted as a remedy for hair regrowth, and while there is some anecdotal evidence to support it, results can vary widely among individuals. In Ayurveda, onions are known for their sulfur content, which may help nourish hair follicles and promote new growth. However, it’s important to remember that onion juice is not a guaranteed solution for everyone.
When applying onion juice, patience is key. It’s advisable to use it consistently over a period of at least 2-3 months to gauge its effectiveness. Applying the juice once or twice a week is sufficient. Instead of applying it neat, you might want to mix it with a carrier oil like coconut oil to lessen the odor and potential irritation.
Your overall lifestyle, indeed, plays a significant role in hair health. Stress and poor diet can contribute to hair loss. From an Ayurvedic viewpoint, managing stress and maintaining a balanced diet are crucial for healthy hair. Consider incorporating calming techniques such as meditation or yoga into your routine. As for your diet, try to minimize junk food intake, and include foods rich in iron, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids—like spinach, lentils, almonds, and flaxseeds—to support hair health.
Dosha imbalances may also contribute to hair thinning. An Ayurvedic doctor can help determine your dosha and suggest specific herbs and treatments tailored to your constitution. Brahmi, Amla, and Bhringraj are known for their hair-nourishing properties, and you might consider trying them after consulting a professional.
If you notice severe hair loss or scalp issues, it’s advisable to consult with a healthcare provider to rule out underlying medical conditions. Remember, while natural remedies can help, results vary, and they work best as part of a holistic approach to health and wellness.
