eyelashes falling - #7286

Anonymously

Over the last couple of months, I’ve been noticing something very strange – my eyelashes are falling out more than usual. At first, I thought it was just a few here and there, but now I see them on my pillow, when I wash my face, or even randomly during the day. It’s really starting to worry me because my lashes are thinning out, and I’ve always had thick, long lashes. I don’t use too much makeup, but I do apply mascara maybe twice a week. I make sure to remove it with makeup remover every night. Could that be part of why my eyelashes are falling? I’ve also had a lot of stress lately because of work, and my diet has been a bit off. I’m skipping meals sometimes and not eating much fresh food, so I wonder if that’s contributing too. When I searched online, I read that Ayurveda offers natural remedies for hair loss, and some of those remedies can help with eyelashes falling too. I’ve come across suggestions about using castor oil or almond oil to strengthen lashes, but I’m not sure if that’s safe. Are there specific Ayurvedic oils or herbs that can help stop eyelashes falling and promote regrowth naturally? Another thing I read was that weak digestion or dosha imbalances (like excess Pitta) could lead to eyelashes falling. Is this true? I do feel bloated often, and my skin has been unusually oily lately. Could this be a sign of internal issues causing my lashes to fall? If so, what Ayurvedic treatments can I take to balance my body and stop eyelashes falling out? Also, is it safe to apply oils like castor oil or any Ayurvedic preparations directly to the lash line? I’m worried about irritation because my eyes are quite sensitive. How long does it take for the lashes to grow back once they’ve fallen out? If anyone here has experienced eyelashes falling out and tried Ayurvedic treatments, I’d love to hear what worked for you. Did you focus more on internal remedies, like herbal tonics or detox, or did you use external oils and natural products? How long did it take to see results? I really want to stop my eyelashes falling and make sure they grow back healthy and strong. Any advice about Ayurvedic oils, herbs, or dietary tips would be very helpful.

In Ayurveda, eyelash loss may be linked to a Pitta imbalance, stress, or poor nutrition, which can weaken hair follicles and disrupt growth. Stress and irregular eating habits, as you mentioned, could further aggravate the issue. Strengthening the lashes externally with castor oil or almond oil, infused with cooling herbs like Bhringraj or Amla, can help nourish the follicles. Apply these oils sparingly to the lash line using a clean cotton swab, ensuring they don’t irritate your eyes. Internally, herbs like Brahmi and Shatavari can help manage stress and balance Pitta, while Triphala aids digestion, indirectly supporting hair health. Improving your diet by including iron-rich and protein-rich foods, along with ghee, coconut water, and fresh vegetables, will provide the nutrients needed for lash regrowth. Avoid spicy, fried foods, and excessive heat exposure to balance Pitta. With consistent care, lashes typically regrow in 6-8 weeks. Consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for a holistic approach tailored to your needs.

Eyelash thinning can be due to several factors, including stress, poor diet, and dosha imbalances like excess Pitta. Ayurveda suggests that weak digestion and internal imbalances can lead to hair loss, including eyelashes. To address this, focus on Pitta-pacifying remedies, which can help balance the body’s internal heat and promote overall health. For external care, castor oil and almond oil are commonly used to nourish and strengthen eyelashes. They are generally safe, but test them on a small patch of skin first to avoid irritation, especially if you have sensitive eyes. Applying these oils directly to the lash line before bed is a popular remedy. Amla oil (Indian gooseberry) and Bhringraj oil are also known for promoting hair growth and can be used for lashes. Internally, Ayurveda recommends improving digestion with triphala, ginger tea, and incorporating fresh, nutritious foods to balance doshas. Ashwagandha is an adaptogen that can help reduce stress and balance hormones, potentially preventing hair loss. Results vary, but with consistent use of oils and dietary adjustments, you may begin to see improvements in a few weeks to a couple of months. If the problem persists, consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized advice.
