Partial Baldness in woman - #4819

Namaste Janu ji,

For hair loss and partial baldness, especially after a head injury, Ayurveda offers effective remedies to support hair growth and restore confidence.

Herbal Remedies for Hair Growth: Bhringraj Oil: Apply Bhringraj oil or Neelibhringadi Taila to your scalp regularly. These oils strengthen hair follicles and promote growth. Amla and Brahmi Oil: Massage Amla oil and Brahmi oil into the scalp to improve circulation and nourish hair roots. Fenugreek (Methi) Seeds: Soak fenugreek seeds overnight, grind them into a paste, and apply to the scalp to reduce hair fall and stimulate growth. Brahmi and Ashwagandha: Take Brahmi and Ashwagandha supplements for overall hair nourishment and stress reduction. Dietary Recommendations: Consume black sesame seeds, almonds, and pumpkin seeds to improve hair health. Drink Amla juice daily for vitamin C, which supports hair growth. Add cow’s ghee and flaxseeds to your diet for better nourishment. Lifestyle and Hair Care: Avoid tight hairstyles, excessive heat, and chemical treatments. Practice gentle hair care with mild herbal shampoos like Shikakai and Reetha. Regular Abhyanga (oil massage) with Dhanvantaram Taila helps nourish the scalp. Internal Care: Triphala Churna at bedtime aids in detoxifying the body and promoting healthy hair growth. Take Rasayana herbs like Kalyanaka Ghrita to rejuvenate hair follicles and restore vitality. Consistency with these remedies can promote hair regrowth over time. Consult an Ayurvedic vaidya for a personalized plan. Stay positive and patient, healing is a gradual process. Dhanyavad!

Oh, that sounds really tough, and it’s totally understandable to feel this way about hair loss – it can hit anyone’s confidence, believe me. After a head injury, the body might experience a type of hair loss called telogen effluvium, where hair can shed more than usual because of the stress the body went through. Now, from an Ayurvedic perspective, we can see this as an imbalance perhaps in your doshas, primarily Pitta, which governs metabolism and heat in the body. This imbalance can affect hair growth and contribute to hair thinning.

Firstly, start by calming your scalp and your mind. You can incorporate some cooling head oil massage into your weekly routine, maybe once or twice a week. Brahmi Oil or Bhringraj Oil are great for promoting hair health, massaging gently with your fingertips in circular motions before showering could help. And believe it or not, it feels good too!

Look at your diet too. Favor foods that are gentle on digestion, cause an aggravated Pitta can lead to more hair fall. So, think of including more juicy fruits, leafy greens, and staying hydrated - chamomile tea, for example, is calming and hydrating. Avoid overly spicy, acidic, or fried foods that aggravate Pitta.

Sometimes stress reduction is key! Try introducing a few minutes of meditation or deep breathing exercises into your daily life. Maybe in the mornings right after you wake up.

Sleeping pattern works big time on overall health - make sure you’re hitting 7-8 hours each night cos your body needs that restorative time.

About growth issues, it’s possible that your hair growth phase is a bit disrupted. Herbal supplements like Amla (Indian gooseberry) might possibly help, as they tend to boost overall health.

Just remember, this stuff takes time, be patient with yourself, it’s a holistic journey. If the hair loss is severe, or things don’t seem to improve, checking in with a dermotologist or a healthcare professional might be in order, okay? Keep your chin up!
