can amla regrow hair - #24862

Jayden

I am losing my hair and it’s freaking me out! Like, my dad went bald early, and I thought I had dodged that bullet, but nope! Over the last few months, I’ve noticed more hair in the shower drain and on my pillow. It’s really got me worried. A friend mentioned amla and said it’s good for hair—can amla regrow hair? I want to believe that natural stuff can help, but I don’t know if amla actually works like people say it does. I’ve seen some articles claiming that amla oil can strengthen hair and maybe even prevent hair fall, but I don’t wanna get my hopes too high. I’ve started taking some supplements, and I’m using a shampoo with amla, but not sure if I’m doing it right. What’s the best way to use amla for hair growth? Should I be looking at it from a holistic perspective too? Thanks for any tips!

Diet & Lifestyle Advice: Avoid spicy, oily, and junk foods—reduce Pitta aggravation. Add more leafy greens, ghee, almonds (soaked), black sesame in diet.
