Hair fall and thinning can often be attributed to an imbalance of your doshas, especially when there’s an aggravation of pitta. It’s good to know that your hair isn’t brittle, as that usually indicates a vata imbalance. With jeevamrutham, which is often a Siddha formulation aimed at rejuvenating the body, the goal would be to nourish your scalp and hair.
For strengthening your hair follicles and promoting growth, you might want to integrate a few more things into your routine. Start with a head massage using Bhringraj or Neeli oil each week. Heat the oil slightly before applying—it helps the oil penetrate the scalp better. Doing this, ideally at night, allows the oil to work overnight. Just remember to wash it out thoroughly the next morning.
Diet and digestion are crucial, so watch over your intake of pitta-aggravating foods like spicy, overly sour, and processed items. Opt for cooling, sweet ingredients like amla, which is highly nourishing for the hair. This can help balance your internal agni, or digestive fire, contributing to stronger hair follicles.
If possible, add herbs like Amalaki or Shatavari to your daily routine. They can be taken after meals with warm water. And ensure to keep yourself hydrated – water supports your metabolic function and overall health of hair tissues.
If despite these steps, hair fall persists or worsens, considering consulting a practitioner in person as there might be an underlying issue that needs more tailored attention.
