Regrowing hair according to Ayurveda involves addressing underlying imbalances in your body. Hair fall can often be linked to excess Pitta or Vata dosha. To encourage hair regrowth, maintaining balance is crucial. Even if you’re outside home, a few things can still be managed.
Firstly, focus on your scalp health. Massaging your scalp with warm oils like bhringraj or coconut oil infused with amla can stimulate hair follicles. Do this two to three times a week if possible. Let the oil sit for an hour before washing it off with a mild Ayurvedic shampoo.
For diet, even with limited options, you can try to include available items that nourishes your hair. Protein-rich food such as lentils, chickpeas, or any beans that are easy to find can support hair health. If fresh vegetables are hard to come by, fruits like bananas and apples still offer nutrients like Iron and vitamins necessary for hair growth.
Hydration is also essential, so try to drink plenty of water throughout the day. Avoid excessive caffeine and sugary drinks, as these can dehydrates the body and affect hair health negatively.
In terms of lifestyle, reduce stress through meditation or pranayama, as stress increases Pitta leading to hair loss. Even a few minutes daily can calm the mind and the body’s doshas. Also make sure you’re getting enough sleep because rest is crucial for your body’s restoration processes.
If finding specific herbs or foods is challenging, consider talking to a local Ayurvedic practitioner about trying a dosha-balancing herbal supplement, but do this cautiously. Give attention to the body’s feedback and adjust your practices as needed. Remember, consistency in these practices is what will ultimately support hair regrowth.
