Hair loss problem is believed to be caused by an excessive Pitta dosha in the body. It’s believed that balancing the Pitta dosha through Ayurvedic techniques like healthy diet, herbs, and massage can stop hair loss.

As a holistic system of medicine, ayurveda focuses on our uniqueness and takes into account our mental attitude, lifestyle and spirit—each should not be isolated from the other aspects.

According to Ayurveda — if you want to maintain a healthy and beautiful head of hair, you need to provide it with a best environment wherein optimum development is possible.

Massage for Ayurveda Hair Loss Treatment

• Always use a natural shampoo without harsh chemical ingredients when cleaning the hair. Most shampoos have chemicals that can trigger side effects like dandruff and itchiness, hence causing hair loss problems. Usually the chemicals have a heating effect, and increase Pitta locally. Amla and Acacia extracts are very commonly used in India for washing the hair.
• Using essential oils for scalp massage is beneficial in stopping hair loss. Essential oils like Amla, Coconut, Olive, Almond and Jojoba are very useful when it comes to hair loss prevention and stimulating hair regrowth.
• Apply oils that contain vitamin E. Vitamin E prevents hair fall and reduces the brittleness of hair and also helps cure the dry and flaky skin.
• A mixture of licorice and milk when applied on the bald patches can help stimulate hair regrowth.

Food for Ayurveda Hair Loss Treatment

• A good healthy diet is excellent for hair loss prevention.  Your diet should contain more green leafy vegetables, salads, milk, fruits and sprouts. You also need to eat more foods that contain proteins and vitamin A, such as milk, buttermilk, yeast, wheat germ, and soybean because these can aid in stimulating healthy hair growth.
• Drinking fruits and vegetables should also be a part of your daily diet. A mixture of lettuce and spinach juice is good to induce hair growth. The juice of alfalfa mixed with that of carrot, and lettuce juice is also excellent for hair loss prevention. Orange juice is also a great source of Vitamin C which is helpful for the development of collagen which is necessary for hair growth.

Herbs for Ayurveda Hair Loss Treatment

• Rinsing your hair with apple cider vinegar and sage tea induces the growth of hair.
• The mixture of a cup of brandy and one egg is a good solution for hair loss and it develops a new hair growth.
• A mixture of sesame oil or olive oil in the juice of a bottle gourd will give you long, black, thicker, and shinier hair.  This mixture also helps in preventing grey hair and hair fall.
