Are you looking for a natural and effective treatment for hair fall and premature greying of your hair?

You should consider Ayurveda for dealing with these conditions without the fear of harmful side effects on your body. Hair fall refers to the condition in which excessive hair loss is experienced from your scalp. According to Ayurveda, these conditions are said to arise from ‘pitta dosha’ imbalances. The continuous disturbance of pitta, vata or kapha can lead to hair loss and greying of hair. Consuming substances that enhance your pitta dosha results in premature grey hair.

There are various Ayurvedic remedies for dealing with these conditions. The most important ones are as follows:

Panchakarma therapy
• Panchakarma therapies such as Nasya, Virechana, and Shirodhara are effective for dealing with grey hair.
• Virechana helps in balancing your vitiated pitta dosha.
• Shirodhara using certain medicated oils also helps in reducing hair fall and hair greying.
• Nasya with medicated oils
• Regular hair massage using Ayurveda hair oils is essential for hair loss prevention.

Diet
• Avoid oily, spicy, and heavy food, along with coffee and tea.
• Keep away from refined foods, junk food, carbonated drinks, alcohol.
• Increase your intake of fresh fruits, vegetables.

Massage
• Massaging your scalp is ideal for maintaining healthy hair, and preventing hair fall.
• This is important for proper blood circulation, and the blood supply to your hair roots gets increased.

You should consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for the proper diagnosis of your scalp condition before undertaking treatment measures on your own. A doctor will be able to recommend the best Ayurvedic remedies.
