Aswin’s Kesh Sutram might be worth considering given your concerns about hair fall, but it’s important to look at the root causes first. In Siddha-Ayurveda, hair fall is often linked to imbalances in the doshas, particularly pitta and vata, affecting the health of the scalp and hair roots. Kesh Sutram is formulated with herbs aimed at nourishing the scalp and promoting hair strength, and could potentially address these imbalances.
Before trying it alone, consider integrating practices to pacify any pitta or vata disruptions you might have. For the oily scalp, it might be that your body is attempting to counteract a vata dominance with excess sebum. Regularly massaging the scalp with coconut or Bhringraj oil can help balance out the doshas. Bhringraj is traditionally known for its properties in enhancing hair strength and reducing fall. For cleansing, use a gentle herbal shampoo once or twice a week to maintain scalp balance.
It’s also beneficial to take a holistic approach. Look into dietary adjustments that could cool pitta and calm vata — including hydrating, cooling foods, avoiding caffeine, spicy or oily items can be beneficial. Seasonal changes and stress, too, play roles, so managing stress with mindful practices like yoga or pranayama and ensuring adequate sleep will benefit both hair health and overall wellness.
While using Kesh Sutram, note any changes for a few weeks to see if it suits your specific prakriti and needs. If the hair fall persists or worsens, it would be wise to consult with a qualified practitioner who can assess any underlying conditions. Always remember, safety first.
