To address hair fall and the onset of white hairs, itâs crucial to start by understanding the underlying causes from an Ayurvedic perspective. According to Ayurveda, issues like hair fall and premature whitening often stem from dosha imbalances, particularly Pitta dosha.
First, letâs talk about your diet, which plays a crucial role in maintaining balance. Try to incorporate cool, soothing foods into your meals. Go for fresh fruits like melons or cucumbers, and opt for vegetables such as leafy greens or zucchini. Avoid spicy, oily, and excessively salty foods as they can aggravate Pitta.
Consider implementing some lifestyle practices. Try a daily scalp massage using cooling oils such as coconut or bhringraj oil. Warm the oil slightly and apply it, focusing on your scalpâs affected areas. This not only nourishes the hair but also calms the mind. Leave the oil on for at least 30 minutes before washing it off with a mild herbal shampoo. Do this twice a week for optimal results.
Stress is another significant factor in hair and scalp health. Incorporate practices such as meditation or yoga into your daily routine. Even simple breathing exercises can help reduce stress levels and balance your doshas.
Now, addressing your white hairs, consuming amalaki (Indian gooseberry) can be helpful. Try amla powder mixed with water or juice to form a paste. Apply this to your scalp weekly. Internally, consume fresh amla juice or its powder mixed with warm water every morning to promote pigment production.
Ensure youâre also staying properly hydrated. Drink plenty of water and herbal teas throughout the day to maintain proper moisture balance in the body.
If symptoms persist, it may be wise to consult with an Ayurvedic specialist for a personalized approach, as factors unique to your prakriti (body constitution) may need to be considered.
