    Remedies for Hair Loss and Balding

   Hair loss, thinning of hair and balding are some of the common hair problems. Many of us suffer from these     ailments due to our modern lifestyle and diet. Ayurveda can be very beneficial in treating these conditions as it     investigates the root cause of the problem. The causes for these hair conditions are:

    
    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.
    
 
 
    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.     Amala (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.
