Hello Thanks for reaching out. I get it, thinning hair and hair fall can really affect how you feel, but the good news is,Ayurveda can really help you get your hair stronger😊

AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING Basically, it sounds like your situation is because of: –Too much heat (Pitta) messing with your hair roots. –Your digestion isn’t so good, so your hair isn’t getting what it needs. –You might be low on minerals and proteins. –Your scalp might not be getting enough blood flow. –The thin hair means your hair thingies(follicles) are just getting smaller, not dead—so hair can still grow back. Things to Check It’d be a good idea to check these: – Hemoglobin – Vitamin B12 – Vitamin D – Thyroid (TSH) AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT- 1️⃣ Bhringraj Churna good for feeding those hair roots 3 g, twice a day after you eat, with warm water 2️⃣ Amla Churna Helps with hair fall and growing new hair 3 g at night with warm water 3️⃣ Godanti Bhasma Cools down your scalp 250 mg, twice a day after food 4️⃣ Ashwagandha Churna Helps with stress-related hair fall stuff 3 g at night with milk 5️⃣ Triphala Churna Cleans your blood and helps you absorb stuff better 3 g before sleep with warm water Taking Care of Your Hair (External care– Super Important) Oiling Up Mix Bhringraj Taila + Neelibhringadi Taila (same amount of each) Rub it on your scalp 3 times a week at night. Hair Pack (Do this once a week) What to mix: – Amla powder – Bhringraj powder – Aloe vera gel How to do it: Put it on your scalp for half an hour, then wash it off. Food to Eat for Thicker Hair Eat: – Ghee – Milk – Coconut – Dates – Black sesame seeds –Green leafy veggies Avoid – Fried stuff – Bakery goods – Soda – Too much tea/coffee – Staying up late Other Tips – Try to sleep before 11 pm – Don’t use really hot water on your head – Don’t shampoo too often – Skip the harsh chemical treatments – Rub your scalp for 10 minutes a day Your hair isn’t gone, just needs some help! Ayurveda can bring it back to life. Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate
