Hair loss not only affects aesthetics but also makes many people lose confidence. The cause can be stress, poor diet, hormonal changes, or weather. Instead of abusing shampoos or instant hair growth stimulants, many people are looking for Ayurvedic therapy, a traditional Indian medicine method with the effect of nourishing hair from the roots.
According to Dr. Partap Chauhan, Director of Jiva Ayurveda Center (India): Modern hair care products only solve the problem of the tops. In contrast, Ayurveda focuses on balancing the body from within, helping to address the root cause of hair loss through natural, safe and personalized therapies."
Here are 5 Ayurvedic remedies you can apply right at home to improve hair health:
Apply warm herbal oil to the scalp
Applying oil to hair is one of the most important Ayurvedic habits. Choose oils made from bhringraj, amla, brahmi and neem, herbs that can soothe the body and nourish the scalp. Warm the oil gently and massage with your fingertips to stimulate blood circulation. Avoid applying the oil right before going out, because dirt and moisture can stick to your hair.
Wash your hair with herbal powder
Instead of using industrial shampoo, you can make your own shampoo mixture from reetha (In theatrical conical), shikakai and triphala. They help clean hair without losing the natural oils, while reducing the risk of itchy inflammation and dandruff, Dr. Chauhan shared. Washing your hair with this mixture twice a week will help strengthen hair.
Drink herbs to nourish from within
Hair loss is not only due to scalp problems but also related to the digestive and mental systems. Herbs such as ashwagandha, yashtimadhu and amla can help reduce stress, improve digestion and fight oxidation. You can mix it with warm water or take a vien after consulting your Ayurvedic doctor.
Healthy diet
Ayurveda recommends eating in moderation and choosing foods that suit your physical condition. Limit fried foods, spicy foods and increase warm, easy-to-eat foods such as green beans, green vegetables, seasonal fruits, ghee, turmeric, curry leaves. A healthy digestive system is the foundation for good hair nourishment, Dr. Chauhan emphasizes.
Use an Ayurvedic hair mask every week
Some natural hair masks that are easy to make at home:
Amla + Aloe vera + Lemon: Helps cool and enhance scalp nutrients.
Curry grass + Coconut oil: Reduces breakage, stimulates hair growth.
Brahmi + Gel aloe vera: Soothes the scalp, supports blood circulation to the hair follicles.
Apply to scalp, leave for about 30 - 45 minutes, then rinse with a gentle shampoo.
Effective hair loss control requires a combination of external care and internal regulation. With Ayurvedic methods, you not only improve your hair but also improve your overall health naturally and sustainably.
