Hairfall often occur due to a combination of stress, lifestyle habits, and imbalances in the body’s natural energies according to Ayurveda. Your recent stress and lack of sleep have likely aggravated the Pitta dosha in your system, which is known to affect the hair and skin. The weakened feeling and tiredness suggest that your Agni (digestive/metabolic fire) might be compromised, affecting the nourishment reaching your hair follicles.
To address this, start by bringing balance back to your doshas and improving your lifestyle. Focus on stress-relieving techniques such as daily practices of Pranayama or meditation for calming the mind and reducing stress levels. This gradually helps in balancing Pitta dosha.
Diet plays a crucial role. Begin incorporating cooling foods that pacify Pitta such as cucumbers, leafy greens, and sweet fruits like pears or melons. Avoid excessive spicy or oily foods, as they can further imbalance Pitta. Ensure that your meals are nourishing and regular—do not skip them, and focus on eating whole, fresh foods.
Specific herbs can also be helpful. Brahmi, Amla, and Bhringraj oil are known in Ayurveda for strengthening hair. Apply Bhringraj or Amla oil three times a week. Warm the oil slightly, massage it into the scalp, let it sit for an hour, then wash with a mild, non-chemical shampoo.
Sleep is essential. Ensure you have a regular sleep schedule, aiming for at least 7-8 hours per night. Quality sleep can do wonders in restoring overall health.
If the issue persists, consider consulting a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized guidance, as they can better tailor remedies suited to your unique prakriti and condition. These steps should be feasible and can slowly aid in reducing hairfall over time, though patience is key. Always remember to monitor any significant changes closely, and seek timely medical attention if hair loss continues unaltered.
