Your hair fall and dandruff suggest an imbalance that often aligns with Vata and Pitta disruption in the body. First, let’s address your scalp health. Apply a warm herbal oil twice a week; consider using bhringaraj or neem-infused oil as these help soothe the scalp, reduce dandruff, and strengthen hair follicles. Warm the oil slightly and massage gently into the scalp – leave it for at least 30 minutes before washing with a gentle and natural shampoo. Avoid hot water on your hair, as it can aggravate hair fall.
Diet also plays a vital role. Increase intake of cooling and nourishing foods like aloe vera juice and amla, which calm Pitta. Avoid excessive spicy, fermented, and oily foods that might worsen the imbalance. Hydration is essential, so drink plenty of water and add coconut water occasionally for its soothing properties.
Manage stress through practices like yoga or meditation; both assist in balancing Vata and reducing stress-induced hair fall. Ashwagandha supplements, after consulting with a practitioner, may also help in stress management.
Finally, regularly check your daily routine—as irregular sleep or erratic eating can disturb doshas further. Try mindful evening routines, perhaps sipping warm milk with a pinch of turmeric before bed to support overall balance.
If symptoms persist or worsen, especially if you notice patches of hair loss or severe itching, consider consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner available in your locality to explore further diagnosis tailored to your personal constitution.
