Ayurvedic Treatment for Hair Loss - Natural Solutions for an Unseen Problem

Posted by Pure Herbal Ayurved Clinic on December 23rd, 2014

Is your hair falling out or thinning? Don’t despair—you are not alone. Hair loss is a common problem for both men and women. There are many reasons for hair loss, but the culprit is usually any damage on the hair shaft or the hair follicles—which occurs when your immune system attacks the hair follicles for an unknown reason. Factors like old age, genetics, chemotherapy, taking hormones, and taking anabolic steroids may lead to hair loss, too. Ayurvedic treatment is one of the most effective ways to stop hair loss and encourage hair growth.

Ayurvedic treatment follows a holistic approach in which the body's basic dysfunction is considered instead of suppressing the symptoms. Ayurvedic treatments diagnose conditions based on an individual's unique nature, so hair loss treatment will be specifically tailored to your requirements.

Hair fall is a pitta dosha problem in Ayurveda. Dosha occurs due to stress and excessive intake of certain foods that can cause dosha imbalance, such as coffee and tea, alcohol, fast food, sugar, meats, and yeasts. Smoking, taking too many medicines, and consumption of alcohol are believed to contribute to the imbalance of the doshas, too. In that sense, Ayurvedic treatment for hair loss involves a change in your diet and introducing herbs into your daily lifestyle help regrow and maintain healthier hair.

You need to note your poor eating habits and replace them with healthy food that is reach in protein and fibre. Sesame seeds are recommended in the morning, and you are advised to drink plenty of water to help flush out the toxins that can contribute to hair loss. Hair growth can be stimulated by certain foods like spinach and lettuce juice, alfalfa, and carrot juice.

Scalp massages are crucial to Ayurvedic treatment for hair loss because they help increase blood circulation. The scalp is massaged with vitamin E oil to strengthen the follicles. Coconut, brahmi, amla, mustard, and arnica oils are also recommended. Hair growth can be stimulated from the follicles by massaging honey onto the scalp, and apple cider vinegar may make hair grow faster.

Chemical-free products are recommended, such as boiled neem leaves, which will rinse the hair after washing. This solution can help clean the scalp and stimulate hair growth from the follicles. It is recommended that you use warm water that is levelled to your body temperature to minimise hair fall while washing.

Yoga and meditation may help combat hair loss, too. Sarvangasana is an inverted asana that reverses gravity on your body, making it suitable for treating hair loss. This treatment stimulates blood flow to your head, and it can work with proper deep breathing exercises to manage anxiety, maintain a balanced mind, and control stress.
