Postpartum hair loss can sure be tough, it’s like your body is adjusting and finding its balance again. In Ayurveda, this might relate to Vata imbalance – it’s common after childbirth. So, we want to nourish ya body and calm things down.
For your hair, let’s start with a simple scalp massage with warm coconut oil or bhringraj oil, once a week at least. Let it soak in for an hour, then a gentle shampoo is good to go. This massages boosts circulation and helps to nourish your hair roots. Oh, and remember not to use too hot water when washing your hair. It can make dandruff worse.
The breakouts… tricky, yeah? Keeping it simple is probs better since you mentioned sensitive skin. A gentle cleanser twice a day, followed by maybe a light touch of rose water as a toner. Try a turmeric face pack once a week, it can help with inflammation. Just a mix of turmeric and chickpea flour with a bit of water.
And hey, about the weight gain, don’t stress too much, yeah? Focus on balancing your meals – emphasizing fresh fruits and veggies, whole grains, and some light proteins, like lentils or chickpeas. Avoid refrigerated, leftover foods – they can mess with ya Agni, your digestive fire. Consider sipping warm water or herbal teas like ginger or mint through the day to boost metabolism.
Oh, and regular light exercise! Even a daily brisk walk or some yoga postures can do wonders – it’s not just burning calories, it helps balance your mind and body.
Some say adding a spoonful of triphala to warm water before bed, aids digestion and even supports detoxification, but its gentle. Just keep noticing how your body reacts.
In case things continue escalating or seem out of hand, good to reach out to an Ayurvedic practitioner directly or contact your doctor to ensure there’s no underlying thing that’s super serious.
