Watjatadi oil, being a traditional Siddha-Ayurvedic preparation, can generally be considered safe for hair fall during pregnancy. It’s mainly made up of herbal ingredients and typically does not contain synthetic chemicals, making it a suitable choice for those seeking natural treatment methods. The herbs in Watjatadi oil are aimed at balancing the doshas, especially supporting the reduction of excess Pitta which is often linked to hair fall. Hairfall during pregnancy can sometimes be due to increased Pitta dosha or stress on the body’s dhatus (tissues).
However, it’s crucial to ensure that you are using a high-quality, genuine Watjatadi oil from a reliable source. While Siddha and Ayurveda often recommend this type of treatment, the purity and quality of the product are key for safety. Please remember to do a patch test first—even herbal products can sometimes cause unexpected reacions.
Alongside using Watjatadi oil, incorporating a gentle scalp massage can help in improving blood circulation and in turn support hair health. Use your fingertips in circular motions, preferably during morning times, as it can stimulate the hair roots effectively without disturbing your sleep cycle.
To further support hair health during pregnancy, it is important to maintain a balanced diet rich in the right nutrients. Focus on consuming foods that are nourishing to the sapta dhatus, including whole grains, milk, and leafy greens. Hydration also plays a key role, so drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your body metabolism and hair follicles well hydrated.
If you notice severe or sudden hair loss, it might be more than a dosha imbalance, so consulting with a healthcare professional is a good step to rule out any underlying conditions. But in general, this natural approach should aligns well with a healthy pregnancy support plan.
