Hello Archana, Pitta aggravation leads to premature graying of hair. Also check your Hb and Vit B12 levels. To slow down hair greying with Ayurveda, focus on balancing Pitta dosha and nourishing the hair. Here are key Ayurvedic practices:
Amla (Indian Gooseberry): Regularly consume Amla, rich in antioxidants and Vitamin C, which helps reduce greying. You can take Amla juice or powder daily.
Bhringraj Oil: Apply Bhringraj oil to your scalp 2-3 times a week. It helps nourish hair follicles and slows down the greying process.
Ashwagandha: Take Ashwagandha powder or capsules, as it helps reduce stress and balances hormones, which can slow hair greying.
Healthy Diet: Include Pitta-pacifying foods like fresh vegetables, fruits, and cooling herbs such as cilantro. Avoid spicy, acidic, and fried foods.
Stay Hydrated and Manage Stress: Practice yoga, meditation, and pranayama (like Nadi Shodhana) to manage stress, which can exacerbate greying.
Avoid Chemical Hair Products: Use natural hair cleansers like Shikakai or Reetha to avoid chemical damage, which can worsen greying.
Medication - GUDUCHI GHRITHAM - 2 tsp at 6 am with hot water. Dont eat anything for 2 hours after this.

Starting to notice grey hair at the age of 31 can be concerning, but Ayurveda offers various natural remedies to help slow down the greying process. To support healthy hair and maintain your natural color, consider incorporating foods rich in vitamins and minerals, such as iron, zinc, and vitamins B, C, and E, into your diet. Foods like black sesame seeds, amla (Indian gooseberry), and walnuts are particularly beneficial. Additionally, using Ayurvedic herbs like amla powder, bhringraj, and brahmi can nourish your hair; you can create an oil infusion with these herbs and massage it into your scalp. Regular scalp massage with warm coconut or sesame oil can improve circulation and promote hair growth. Managing stress through techniques like yoga and meditation is also essential, as chronic stress can contribute to premature greying. It's advisable to avoid harsh chemical hair products and stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. If you could provide more details about your diet, lifestyle, and any other symptoms you might be experiencing, I can offer more personalized advice.

Ah, greying hair—it sneaks up on us, doesn’t it? But you're not alone, and it's not irreversible, as often believed. In Ayurveda, graying hair at 31 usually indicates an imbalance in the Pitta dosha. This is what's responsible for heat, metabolism and transformation in our body. First, let’s focus on diet and lifestyle adjustments to help balance it.
Start with your plate. Eating *bitter* and *sweet* foods can help calm Pitta. Think leafy greens, cucumbers, and sweet fruits like melons and grapes. And keep yourself cool, not just in attitude. Avoid overly spicy and salty foods—they can spike Pitta further outta balance.
Hydration’s your best friend here, but make it ama-free, meaning sip on warm water or herbal teas like chamomile and hibiscus. Start your morning with a glass of warm water on an empty stomach, it helps with digestion too.
Stress, it's a sneaky culprit. Chronic stress affects your hair health; get disciplined with hobbies or practices like yoga or meditation—they align well with calming Pitta. Regularly oiling your hair might sound old-school, but coconut or bhringraj oil works wonders! Massage it gently onto your scalp before bedtime and wash it off in the morning.
Try adding Triphala to your regimen. It's a powerful blend of three fruits helping cleanse and balance your system. Take 1 teaspoon with warm water before bed. Oh, and get good sleep! Aim for a regular sleep pattern—go to bed by 10 p.m. and wake up early by 6 a.m.
If herbs interest you, consider amla (Indian gooseberry), known for restoring natural color. Mix some powder with warm water or take it as a supplement after you've got the thumbs-up from your doc.
But remember, it's not just about what you do—it's about doing it consistently. Slowing graying takes patience. So, just keep to the path, watch that Pitta, and give time, time.
