Tips for Hair Growth

Tips for hair growth

According to Ayurveda, the hair is derived either as a by-product or produced as a breakdown product of asthi (bone tissue). Any disturbance in this tissue metabolism, which very much depends on the digestive fire, can affect the health of the hair.

To a certain extent, the quality of hair depends on the body constitution. Keep in mind that even though ayurvedic oils can work wonders for your hair, you must complement the oil treatments with other lifestyle changes before it will truly work well for you.

Some of the changes include:

• Avoiding pitta-aggravating foods like spicy, heavy and oily foods, as well as tea and coffee.
• Enriching your diet with good foods, such as almonds, seafood, and greek yogurt, can help your hair become healthier.
• Relaxing, stress has been proven to lead to some hair loss.
• Protecting your hair from the damaging effects of the sun by covering it with a scarf or hat when you go out.
• Avoiding refined foods, refined sugar, junk food and alcoholic and carbonated drinks.
• Increasing intake of fresh fruits, green leafy vegetables and vegetable juice prepared from lettuce, carrot, capsicum, and alfalfa.
• Avoiding the usage of chemical products on the hair. Try herbal oils and shampoos instead.
