Doctors’ responses
Hair loss in Ayurveda is often linked to an imbalance in Pitta dosha, which can overheat and weaken hair follicles. To address this, focus on cooling and nourishing the scalp by applying oils like Brahmi, Bhringraj, or coconut oil infused with herbs. Maintain a Pitta-pacifying diet by avoiding spicy, oily, and acidic foods while incorporating cooling foods such as cucumber, coconut water, and leafy greens. Managing stress through yoga, pranayama, and adequate sleep is essential. Herbal supplements like Amla can also strengthen hair from within, promoting healthier growth.
Ah, seems like there was a slight glitch there. But no worries, let’s focus on the issue of hair loss. Losing hair is quite a common concern these days, and Ayurveda can offer some insights and remedies that might help.
First things first, hair loss is often tied to an imbalance of the Pitta dosha, which is associated with heat and transformation. If you’ve been experiencing hair thinning or shedding, it’s possible that your Pitta might be a bit outta whack. This can be influenced by factors like stress, diet, lifestyle, and even the changing seasons.
A simple approach to begin balancing Pitta is to focus on cooling foods and practices. Include more hydrating and calming foods like cucumbers, melons, mint, and coconut water in your diet. Tumeric and amla (Indian gooseberry) are especially good, think of adding these as part of daily routine, maybe in a warm drink or with meals.
Oil massage is another effective remedy. Massaging the scalp with coconut oil or bhringraj oil on a regular basis can help nourish the scalp and hair. Do it gently, preferably in the evening, leave it overnight and wash off the next morning. Something as calming as meditation or a short breathing exercise could also help reduce stress, which is a sneaky contributor to hair loss.
Avoid junk food and excessive heat- spicy foods, too much coffee or tea. Always aim for a balance in your daily routine, and make sure you get adequate rest - this will give your body the chance to heal and rebalance itself.
If you’re still noticing significant hair loss, it might be a good idea to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner in person who can provide you a more tailored treatment plan based on your Prakriti (your natural constitution) and any other imbalances you might be facing.
