An excess of pitta dosha in the body is the chief cause of all hair problems. Pitta is increased by excessive intake of fried, greasy, spicy, sour and acidic foods, caffeinated beverages, alcoholic drinks, meats and excessive smoking. These are some of the major causes:
Excess of pitta dosha in the body is the chief cause of hair problems. Pitta is increased by excessive intake of tea, coffee, alcohol, meats and excessive smoking. Pitta is also aggravated by eating too much fried, oily, greasy, spicy, sour, and acidic foods.
Intake of too many chemical medicines, low blood circulation, anemia, general weakness after disease, stress, anxiety, and mental tension are also prime causes of hair loss.
Chronic diseases like typhoid fever, presence of dandruff or lice and hormonal imbalance also cause hair loss.
So watch out carefully for these reasons! You may be overdoing one of them, and thus losing your beautiful hair.
Treatment
The first step is to locate the root cause in your diet or lifestyle that may be increasing the pitta dosha. Once you locate it, try to give up or at least reduce the diet, habit, or activity responsible for increasing pitta.
Always use a natural shampoo or soap to clean the hair. As most soaps and shampoos have chemicals, they might be the cause of your problem. Usually the chemicals have a heating effect, and increase Pitta locally. Amla (embilica officinalis), Shikakai (Acacia concinna) are very commonly used in India for washing the hair.
Oiling and massaging of scalp is very beneficial for stopping the hair loss. Use coconut oil or mustard oil at least three times in a week. Certain medicated oils like ‘Mahabhringraj oil’, ‘Amala oil’, and ‘Arnica oil’ are very useful. Put oil on the scalp, and massage gently in the roots of the hair.
The person should maintain a regular bowel movement everyday. In case of constipation, a mild natural laxative can be taken. Triphala, an Ayurvedic herbal powder, is also useful.
The diet should contain more green leafy vegetables, salads, milk, fruits and sprouts. Take more proteins, milk, buttermilk, yeast, wheat germ, soybean and vitamin A.
Regular physical exercise is very beneficial as it helps in balancing the aggravated doshas.
A special Ayurvedic preparation made from Bhringraj (Eclipta elba), Amala, corals, iron and black sesame seeds is very useful, and even stops the graying of hair.
Rub your scalp vigorously after washing the hair. It increases the blood circulation, and activates the sebaceous glands.
A mixture of lettuce and spinach juice is good to drink to induce hair growth. The juice of alfalfa mixed with that of carrot, and lettuce juice is also good to take.
Daily application of coconut oil mixed with lime juice on the hair is also beneficial. Applying juice of green coriander leaves on the head is also good.
Washing the hair with a paste of cooked Urad dal (black beans) and fenugreek (methi) 2-3 times a week, is also good.
A paste of licorice made by grinding it in milk can be applied in the bald patches. It induces hair growth. A paste of seeds of lemon and black pepper may also be applied on the bald patches.
These remedies are worth trying and will solve your hair problems.
A number of factors – age, diet, season, climate, pollution, stress and anxiety—affect your hair and scalp. Following an Ayurvedic diet is always the first step to healthy and attractive hair. The best Ayurvedic remedy is always eating lots of leafy green vegetables, fresh fruits, nuts and sprouts.
Another important factor is how you wash your hair. Remember that with a balanced, nutritious diet and all-natural, gentle hair care products, you can maintain your hair’s strength, health and luster for years to come.
Hair Loss
Losing 70 to 80 hairs of your head daily is quite normal. In damp weather this amount may increase. But if your hair loss is above this, you may be facing hair loss problems.
Hair is basically nourished by the nutrient plasma that is produced by the food we take. But the healthy growth of hair is impeded because of following the wrong food and lifestyle habits, exposure to an excess of chemicals and cosmetics, ill health such as weak eye sight, sinusitis, chronic headaches, general debility, stress and mental tension. Hair loss is also caused by taking too much of strong chemical medicines, the presence of dandruff or hair lice, and hormonal imbalance.
Easy Home Remedies
It is essential to daily massage the scalp of affected person for 10 to 15 minutes after bathing it with water. This mechanical action strengthens the hair follicles by stimulating blood circulation in the scalp.
Try washing your hair with this homemade shampoo made with mixing 2 parts of amla to 1 part of shikakai. Soak them in water overnight and boil them in the morning before grinding them together into a paste. Later sieve this solution and wash your hair with it. You may also add one or two rithas to your homemade hair cleanser.
Increase your intakes of green leafy vegetables, salads, milk, fruits and sprouts. Take more proteins, milk, buttermilk, yeast, wheat germ, soybean and vitamin A.
