Doctors’ responses
At menopause you can Internal Rasayana (Hair Rejuvenators),these work at root level — not just on scalp.
Narasimha Rasayanam — 1 tsp with warm milk or water daily after breakfast (nourishes hair roots).
Bhringraj Churna — 1 tsp at night with warm water or milk.
Amla (powder or capsule) — 1 tsp/day or 1–2 capsules twice daily.
Ashwagandha — 500 mg at bedtime for stress balance and hormone support.
External Scalp Nourishment
Bhringraj Taila or Neelibhringadi Taila — Warm slightly, massage gently at night, wash next morning.
For Ahmedabad’s hard water — rinse hair with filtered water + 1 tsp apple cider vinegar once a week to remove mineral deposits.
Avoid chemical dyes, heat styling, and strong shampoos — use mild herbal cleansers like Shikakai + Reetha powder or a soft sulphate-free shampoo.
3. Diet for Menopausal Hair
Daily handful of soaked black sesame seeds (rich in calcium & healthy fats).
Methi (fenugreek) seeds — soak overnight, chew in morning or grind into paste for scalp pack weekly.
Include ghee (1–2 tsp/day) — nourishes Vata and supports hormonal balance.
Avoid excess spicy, sour, and very hot foods — they aggravate Pitta and worsen follicle stress.
