Why do Pigmentation and Hairfall? - #4629

Namaste Shridevi Ji,

Pigmentation and hair fall often occur due to Pitta imbalance, stress, and nutritional deficiencies. Here’s a holistic Ayurvedic approach:

Treatment for Pigmentation: Internal Remedies: Take Manjishtadi Kwath: 20 ml twice daily with warm water for clear skin. Consume Amla Rasayana: 1 tsp daily for skin rejuvenation. External Application: Apply a paste of Sandalwood, Turmeric, and Milk on the face thrice a week. Use Kumkumadi Taila for gentle massage at night. Treatment for Hair Fall: Internal Remedies: Take Bhringraj Churna: 1 tsp with water twice daily for hair strength. Use Triphala Churna: 1 tsp at bedtime for detoxification. External Application: Massage with Neelibhringadi Taila thrice a week. Wash hair with Reetha and Shikakai instead of chemical shampoos. Diet: Include ghee, nuts, seeds, fresh fruits, and leafy greens. Avoid spicy, fried, and processed foods. Lifestyle: Practice Pranayama like Anulom-Vilom for stress relief. Ensure 7-8 hours of sleep daily. With regular care, your pigmentation and hair health will improve.

Pigmentation and hair fall can be really annoying, feel you. Sounds like there might be an imbalance of doshas in your system. In Ayurveda, these issues are often linked to Pitta imbalance. When Pitta is aggravated, it can lead to skin problems and hair issues.

First up, let’s talk about your diet. Try to include more cooling and hydrating foods, as Pitta needs something to calm it down. Think cucumbers, melons, cilantro, and coconut water. Avoid spicy, oily, and overly salty foods – they heat things up. Also, drink plenty of water but not too cold, room temp or lukewarm is better for balance.

For your hair fall, regular scalp massage with warm coconut oil or bhringraj oil is a game changer. Do it at least twice a week, leaving it on for 30 mins before washing off with a mild, natural shampoo. It helps in nourishing the scalp and strengthening hair.

For pigmentation, try applying a paste of sandalwood powder with a little rose water. Do it once a day, leave it on for about 15-20 minutes and then rinse. It’s known to soothe the skin and help lighten those dark spots.

Lifestyle-wise, stress can seriously mess with your doshas – meditation or yoga can be helpful. Just a few minutes each day to calm the mind can do wonders. And get yourself enough sleep, ideally 7-8 hours.

Lastly, avoid chemical-loaded skincare and haircare products. They can exacerbate the situation. Opt for natural, Ayurvedic products instead.

But hey, these are more like guidelines. It’s always a good idea to consult with a professional for personalized advice. Hope this helps some. And, don’t worry, you’re still young!
