Hair loss and baldness is a most common disorder, mainly caused by our lives’ environment and stress. This hair problem is also catered by Indian herbal medicine, or in other words, by Ayurveda.

Let’s evaluate, together with Ayurveda herb’s proven theology, the causes of hair loss and hair damage that finally result in hair loss (partially or completely).

Hair problems are mainly caused by the pitta doshas in the body. Excessive consumption of tea, coffee, alcohol, and smoking increase the presence and consistency of pitta in the body, thereby causing weakening of the hair follicles.

Also, eating too much fried food causes the same effect on the pitta together with excessive consumption of the following food: greasy, spicy, oily, sour and acidic.

Take a look at the following list of other things to avoid as much as possible in order to have healthier hair together with other causes of hair disorders:

• Too many chemical medicines
• Blood circulation disorders
• Anemia
• Recovery period after illness
• Stress, mental tension and anxiety
• Hormonal imbalance
• Dandruff and lice
• Chronic diseases

The first step anyone should take once he notices he is experiencing hair problems is to try to point out the root cause that is incurring this problem by increasing the Doshas.

Once the main cause is targeted, this home remedy in Ayurveda’s family of therapies suggests cutting out on those habits causing the disorder. If a culinary imbalance is the cause, then a balanced Ayurveda diet is suggested or reducing the quantity of food that is causing the problem.

The following are hair care tips that are best added to your regimen:

• Always use herbal nutrition shampoos and soaps.
• Oily and general scalp massages are also highly beneficial for the hair’s health.
• A regular bowel function is also important for the hair’s condition.

Natural herbal medicine suggests a culinary diet including the following:

Ayurveda therapy also suggests that one should rub his scalp vigorously after washing his or her hair.

Lettuce and spinach juice is also good for the scalp and hair, as is also alfalfa juice mixed with that carrot.

Coconut oil mixed with lime juice and applied to the hair is also a well-known prevention and remedy for general hair disorders. Try also green coriander leaves’ juice.

Wash your hair with a mix of cooked black beans (Urad Dal) and methi (fenugreek) two to three times a week.
