Understanding hair health through the Ayurveda lens, it often tied to the balance of the body's doshas, particularly Vata and Pitta. Thin, brittle hair and dandruff indicate an imbalance, often an excess Vata and Pitta. Let's explore a few pointers for improving hair and scalp health naturally.
First, tackle the dandruff. Use neem oil, known for its antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties. Warm a small amount and massage gently into scalp, leave it for at least 30 minutes before washing. This regular practice can help reduce dandruff over time. A paste made from yogurt and fenugreek seeds can also be helpful; apply it to the scalp, then rinse after 30 minutes.
Instead of commercial shampoos, consider a mixture of reetha (soapnut), shikakai, and amla. Blend equal parts of these powders, mix with water to form a paste, and use it as a gentle cleanser. These not only cleanse the hair but also strengthen hair follicles and enhance shine.
For conditioning, try a natural aloe vera gel application post-wash. It's soothing for the scalp and adds a layer of moisture, reducing itchiness and dandruff. Another natural conditioner is hibiscus paste. Grind fresh hibiscus leaves and flowers with a little water, apply to your hair, and rinse off after a few minutes.
Diet plays crucial role in nourishing hair from within. Incorporate foods high in Omega-3 fatty acids like flaxseeds, walnuts, and almonds. These help to maintain hair texture and shine. Have iron-rich foods like spinach, lentils, and beet as well—they improve blood circulation, feeding the hair roots with nutrient-rich blood.
Lifestyle changes are equally vital. Ensure adequate hydration and reduce consumption of excessively spicy, fried foods to balance Pitta. Practice yoga and meditation to reduce stress, which can exacerbate hair issues. Remember, it's a holistic approach. Consistent implementation of these practices over a period of time is key to noticing change. If dandruff persists despite these remedies, further consultation might be warranted.
