Drakshadi kashayam, huh? It’s a classic formulation that’s mostly about rejuvenating and detoxifying the body. It’s known to improve blood circulation, which as your friend mentioned, can indirectly support hair health by ensuring that your hair follicles get more nourishment. So, while it may not be a magic potion exclusively for hair growth, it can help address some underlying issues contributing to hair loss, like poor circulation or toxins in the body.
You hit on a good point with dandruff and dry scalp. Drakshadi isn’t a direct treatment for these, but by promoting overall health and clearing Ama (toxins), it could potentially help balance out issues that contribute to dandruff. It’s mainly for internal use, taken usually in liquid form on an empty stomach, but it’s not typically applied directly to the scalp.
Oh, and about the dietary changes - yes, any Ayurvedic treatment works best when supported by diet and lifestyle. So it might be helpful to incorporate warm, nourishing foods and focus on reducing stress, as stress can worsen hair problems. Stay away from excessive cold, spicy, or oily foods that could disrupt your dosha balance, particularly if Pitta-related issues like hairfall are suspected.
Now, how long till you see results? It varies, honestly. Some people notice changes within a few months, but with natural treatments consistency and patience is key. If you’re looking for where to buy it, always check with certified Ayurvedic pharmacies or trusted Ayurvedic practitioners to avoid counterfeit products. Online purchases can be tricky, stick with reputable sellers and read reviews, you know the drill.
As far as experiences go, people have mixed results: some swear by it, others see marginal improvements. Side effects aren’t common but listen to your body, and if anything feels off, stop using it and consult an Ayurvedic doctor.
Combining drakshadi kashayam with a holistic approach could be what your hair needs - but do remember to rule out any severe underlying issues with a professional if the hair fall is substantial.
