Naturally Growing Your Hair: An Ayurvedic Guide

Hi Guys! This week ill be talking about some tools you can use to grow your hair naturally.

First off, the Ayurveda emphasizes the use of natural remedies, the most popular being that of the various herbs, oils, and therapeutic practices passed down through the eons. By adhering to these principles, one can nourish their hair from within, and promote growth, strength, and vitality from within.

Some herbs you can use are: Amla, Bhringraj, and Bhrami

Amla is revered in the Ayurveda for its high vitamin C content along with its plethora of essential fatty acids. These factors play a crucial role in nourishing your hair follicles, strengthening the roots, and promoting a overall hair growth. Amla is most beneficial for the Pitta and Vata doshas

Bhringraj is renowned for its remarkable ability to stimulate hair regrowth. It is particularly effective in preventing hair loss, promoting hair thickness, and preventing premature greying. The herb is best known to pacify the Vata Dosha, which is known to cause hair issues when under stress.

And Bhrami excels at calming and rejuvenating your scalp. It improves your blood circulation and strengthens your hair follicles. Brahmi is also known to reduce mental stress on you, which is a common cause for hair fall. Although you may use Brahmi for any Dosha, it is best to use it for Pitta

Finally, here are some ways that you can utilize these herbs the best!

Scalp Massages

Regularly massaging your scalp with oils infused with these herbs can improve blood circulation, nourish the roots, and encourage healthy hair growth. This ancient technique not only nourishes the hair follicles but also enhances overall well being by fostering a sense of calm and tranquility.

Herbal Hair Masks

Create hair masks using a combination of these herbs in powder form, mixed with natural ingredients like yogurt, honey, or coconut oil. Apply these masks once a week to rejuvenate your scalp and stimulate growth.

Veera's Hair Haven - The Doshas

Hi everyone!

This week, I am grateful to be able to teach you about the hair Doshas! Keep in mind this might be long but packed with useful information!

The Ayurveda, or the Indian health and wellness system believes in the existence of Doshas, which are used to define your hair "type."

Generally they are divided into three Doshas, the first being Vata, the next being Pitta, and finally, Kapha.

Vatta:

Vata-dominant hair often struggles with dryness, frizz, and breakage. It can feel thin and lackluster, and the scalp tends to be sensitive. Gentle care is essential for this hair type.

To nourish and protect your Vata hair, focus on deep hydration and gentle treatments. Regular oiling with coconut or sesame oil can work wonders. Don't forget to pamper your scalp with gentle massages. Avoid harsh chemicals and excessive heat styling to prevent further damage.

For an extra boost, try natural hair masks. Honey and yogurt offer intense hydration, while henna can add strength and shine.

Pitta:

Pitta hair is often characterized by its fine texture and natural shine. However, it can be prone to premature graying, thinning, and oiliness. The scalp tends to be sensitive, reacting easily to harsh products. To maintain its health, balance is key.

Gentle care and cooling treatments are essential for Pitta hair. Look for products with soothing ingredients like aloe vera to calm the scalp.

Kappha:

Kapha hair is often characterized by its thickness and natural body. However, it can also be prone to oiliness, flatness, and dandruff. The scalp tends to be balanced but can become oily over time.

To maintain the health and bounce of Kapha hair, focus on balancing oil production and adding volume. Regular cleansing and lightweight products are essential.

Thats it for this week!
