It can be frustrating when your hair doesn’t grow, or when you lose so much in a day. At some point, we all suffer from hair loss. Some more than others. What if I were to tell you there is a method to control your hair from falling? It can also restore your hair growth!
Let’s start by understanding Ayurveda; the what’s and how’s. Ayurveda is one of the world’s oldest natural medicinal system from India. This traditional Hindu method of medicine focuses on balancing our bodily system by using diet, herbal treatment, and yogic breathing. Natural energies called Doshas, are made up of five elements: ● Kapha: Water and Earth ● Vata: Air and Space ● Pitta: Fire and Water Every person is said to have a different and unique balance of doshas. Understanding and identifying your unique ratio will assist with ensuring they are balanced. An imbalance of your doshas can result in various types of diseases and illnesses. Hair Loss is said to be caused by an imbalance of pitta dosha. Pitta balances and governs our digestion and metabolism, which in turn controls our general well-being. Stress, poor eating habits and anxiety in combination with imbalance of pitta dosha can result in hair loss. Each hair type has a distinctive feature, thus resulting in multiple reasons for hair loss which vary for each individual. Now that we have a better understand of Ayurveda, and the reasons for hair loss, let’s explore 7 effective Ayurvedic remedies for hair loss and re-growth. 1. Don’t tie the hair too tightly in ponytails and braids. This causes tension at the root of the hair and damages the hair follicle and leads to hair thinning, breakage and falling, especially the hair line. 2. Embrace the greys.
