Apathya: Avoid salt, sugar, tobacco, and alcohol. Overconsumption of salt and sugar increases dandruff and hairloss. Avoid large amounts of vitamin A.
Avoid strong soaps, shampoo or hair sprays. Only use mild castile soaps. Hats and wigs are apt to cause hair to fall out faster, since they limit the air to the scalp. Avoid tension, stress, worry and hurry

Hlo manjinder Firstly change your diet If u are taking fast food and oily food and food items that contain vineger please try to avoid that completely. Take nutritious diet complete of fibre, protein, carbs and minerals. If u r taking stress, start meditation, pranayam, yoga and if u are woried about your hair then stop thinking about that too as stress is also the main cause of hair loss. Start a home remedy - Erand oil + coconut oil + bhringraj oil mix all these together and start appying over your scalp. Start eating amla daily Medicine - Bhringrajasav 15 ml + 15 ml water twice a day after food Follow up after 7 days Regards Dr Yash batra
Hair fall can indeed be distressing, and based on your description, there could be imbalances in your doshas, specifically the Vata and Pitta doshas, which often contribute to hair problems. Start with assessing your diet and lifestyle — both play crucial roles in hair health.
First, consider integrating more Vata and Pitta pacifying foods. Favor warm, cooked meals that are easy to digest over raw or cold ones. Include ghee, sesame oil, coconut oil, and almonds, as they’re nourishing and can help in strengthening your hair. Consuming Amla (Indian Gooseberry) daily is valuable, as it’s high in Vitamin C and can help reduce hair fall. Mix powdered Amla with water or drink Amla juice in the morning.
On top of your weekly head massage, consider using Ayurvedic oils regularly like Bhringraj oil or Brahmi oil which are known to promote hair growth. Warm the oil slightly before applying to your scalp, massaging gently for at least 10-15 minutes to stimulate blood circulation. Leave it on for an hour, or overnight if possible, before washing it off with a mild, herbal shampoo.
Engaging in regular stress-reduction practices can also be beneficial. Yoga, meditation, and breathing exercises like Pranayama can calm the mind, balance doshas, and subsequently improve hair health. Ayurvedic herbs like Ashwagandha can also be considered for stress management.
Ensure that your diet includes plenty of hydrating foods and you drink adequate water, which are vital for reducing frizz and dryness. Avoid excessive styling, heating, or chemical treatments, as they further damage the hair.
Maintaining a regular sleep schedule, going to bed before 10PM ideally, helps with overall health, which in turn reflects on your hair. In case the hair fall persists or worsens, it would be wise to consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner or dermatologist for further insights specific to your condition.
To address hair fall effectively, it’s essential to consider any imbalance in doshas, which in this case, seems likely related to Vata and Pitta. Both might be aggravated, and this can cause dryness, frizziness, and hair weakening. First, let’s focus on dietary adjustments. Including more Omega-3 rich foods like flaxseeds and walnuts can help nourish the scalp and hair follicles.
Ensure you consume a balanced diet, keeping it fresh and hydrating, which supports the tissues. Increase the intake of fire-cooked organic vegetables and whole grains, reducing overly processed or deep-fried foods. Hydration is crucial, aim for warm herbal teas like fennel or hibiscus which help balance Pitta and promote hair health.
Incorporate a consistent hair care routine. Twice-weekly scalp massages with warm sesame or bhringraj oil can be beneficial. These oils are calming and restorative, enhancing circulation to hairs’ roots. A gentle non-chemical herbal shampoo should follow to prevent any irritation.
Additionally, stress can play a central role in hair loss. Practicing meditation and yoga for about 30 minutes daily can help reduce stress levels, indirectly aiding hair health.
If you haven’t seen improvement in a couple of months, or if hair fall worsens, seeking professional evaluation might be necessary to rule out any underlying conditions or nutritional deficiencies. Regular and mindful practices according to your unique body constitution will balance any doshic irregularities, fostering healthier hair growth over time.
