Hello I get how frustrating it is to see your hair go, especially when you’re eating right. Hair loss can be a sign that something’s off inside, but Ayurveda might be able to help if we tackle it the right way. WHAT AYURVEDA SAYS ABOUT YOUR HAIR Looks like you’ve got a Pitta–Vata thing going on: 👉Too much Pitta → heats up your scalp, hurts your hair follicles → early graying, thinning hair. 👉Vata being off → dryness, stress, not enough nutrients → weak hair. 👉Ongoing stress → makes your hair fall out faster. This can cause hair loss and early thinning. WHAT’S CAUSING THIS? Based on what you’ve said: –You’ve been stressed for a while. –Maybe you have tummy troubles. –Your scalp’s not getting enough blood flow. –You’re low on hormones and nutrients. –You can regrow hair, but only if we fix the Pitta + Vata issues from the inside. A FULL AYURVEDIC PLAN TO REGROW YOUR HAIR INTERNAL MEDICATION(SUPER IMPORTANT) This stuff rebuilds your hair follicles and stops them from shrinking. 1. Bhringaraj Ghana Vati: 1 tablet twice a day after you eat. 2. Amalaki Rasayan: 1 tsp every morning. 3 Triphala Churna: 1 tsp before bed. These things: –Cool down Pitta. –Help your liver work better. –Clean your blood. –Give your hair roots a boost. If your hair is falling out fast Add: 1 Mahamanjisthadi Kwath – 15 ml twice a day It cleans your blood and stops hair loss from swelling. EXTERNAL CARE (YOU HAVE TO DO THIS) Use Keshya Taila like: –Bhringaraj Taila –Neelibhringadi Taila –How to use it: Massage it in gently 3–4 times a week. –Leave it for 1–2 hours (or all night) → wash it out with a gentle herbal shampoo. This will: –Wake up sleepy hair follicles. –Get the blood flowing. –Cool down your scalp. What to eat to regrow hair INCLUDE –Coconut, ghee –Almonds and dates (soaked) –Moong dal –Buttermilk –Curry leaves –Amla ❌AVOID – Tea, coffee – Too many eggs –Fried food – Stay up late – Spicy food Stress = hair’s worst enemy Do: –10 minutes of Anulom Vilom –Massage your head and feet with oil at night –Stress stops hair from growing. WHEN WILL YOU SEE SOMETHING? –Regrowing hair takes time, but it’s doable. –Hair stops falling out → 3–4 weeks –New hair starts growing → 6–8 weeks –Hair gets thicker → 3–4 months –You can fix a receding hairline and bald spots with Ayurveda if your hair follicles are still alive and it sounds like they are for you. Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate
