Struggling with grey hair? Here's how Ayurveda can help

Genetics: If your family members have a history of premature hair greying, then there is a high possibility of you suffering from the same problem.

Vitamin deficiency: Deficiency of essential vitamins like B12 and B5 in your body can also lead to premature hair greying.

Further, anemia, stress, excess salt consumption, smoking, alcohol, etc. are some other reasons for the same.

According to Ayurveda, greying of hair is called palitya , which occurs due to the imbalance of Pitta dosha. It essentially means that the heat balance in the body gets disturbed, leading to grey hair.

Here are some Ayurvedic treatments to cure it.

1) Nasya Karma: In this process, oil is administered into nasal roots, which is a natural therapeutic treatment for hair.

This Ayurvedic therapy involves applying a herbal paste onto the crown chakra, and massaging the head gently with medicated oils.

This treatment can help reduce hair fall and premature hair greying. It is also known to relieve stress, nourish your skin, and promote detoxification.

However, it is advisable to seek the help of experts before going for these therapies- avoid trying them at home.

1) Use fenugreek seeds, mix them with water, and apply this mix to your scalp.

2) Apply a paste of amla powder, curry leaves powder, coconut oil, and curd to your scalp. Leave it on for a few hours and rinse.

3) Make sure to regularly oil your hair.

4) Always eat a balanced and nutritious diet.

Say goodbye to grey hair!
