Dealing with Hair Loss - The Ayurvedic Way!

This fruit has been common since thousands of years within India and even more so within the purview of 'Ayurveda'. Ritha is a fruit, which when soaked in water, causes saponin to be extracted from them. This comes in the form of foam and once you boil to reduce it, can even be used as a concentrate. Ritha is much milder than any other form of shampoo available in the market. Thus it doesn't contain the harmful chemicals that can damage your hair, yet has all the natural ingredients required for its nutrition.

Excess consumption of tea and coffee is in fact known to be very detrimental for the health of hair, especially according to Ayurveda. Tea and coffee are known to aggravate Pitta dosha, which causes hair loss. Apart from tea and coffee, smoking or consumption of meats can also cause hair loss. Hair loss caused by bad dietary and lifestyle choices like these can be effectively countered by taking a spoonful of sesame seeds every morning.

Neem is a wonder drug used in many Ayurvedic preparations, especially the ones used to treat skin problems. It has many beneficial properties and one of them is the effective treatment of hair loss caused due to a dry scalp. Neem can effectively combat dandruff, psoriasis and other hair fall problems by increasing blood circulation in the scalp. All of these disorders damage the hair roots which result in hair fall. Applying a paste of Neem can help combat these, encourage the growth of new hair and also strengthen the existing follicles on the scalp.

Bowel movement problems or constipation may actually cause hair loss. Although, they may not be directly responsible for it, but constipation is a sign of problem associated with digestion, which affects the growth of hair directly. Bowel movement problems signify a lack of balance between the various doshas within the body. Triphala is a very effective Ayurvedic medication that you can take to resolve problems connected to bowl movement, which would, in turn reduce hair loss and encourage its growth.
