Ever heard the saying “eat sleep repeat”? Well, to have good hair days back, we propose a new saying “eat sleep Ayurveda repeat.”
We are here to take you back to the good old days when looking in the mirror and glancing at your hair felt nice! Time and unawareness have led to so many hair problems that now you just look for hair care products hoping that they just work like magic for you. But it doesn’t work like that. The damage has been done and the only way to limit the damage and possibly get good hair is by going back to the root of the problem.
Thankfully, Ayurveda is there to save us from trouble. The ancient science that stood the test of time. As per Ayurveda, any hair related problem is due to the imbalanced dosha. Hence, the main aim of Ayurveda while treating any type of disorder or disease is it to rebalance the body constitution, dosha, dhatus, malas, mana, and gunas.
Did you know, in Ayurvedic wisdom, hair is closely related to asthi dhatu (bone tissue). Asthi dhatu is a body component similar to bone tissue. It’s important function is to hold the body frame (dharana). It provides stability to the body and forms a skeleton.
So, it is recommended to buy hair care products and follow practices that work specifically to increase the asthi dhatu and improve the quality of hair.
Without wasting any time, let us delve into the various hair care practices that you can follow.
Ayurveda Hair Care Practices to Follow
- Hair oiling for growth: Regular application of oil to the scalp is believed to prevent hair loss and promote thick and long hair. Mustard hair oil or coconut hair oil are known to bring some amazing benefits to the scalp. To enhance the effectiveness, you can also buy an Ayurvedic hair care product like Keranya Pure Black Seed Potent Hair Potion. Not only does it have coconut oil, but it also has other 100% natural ingredients. Look here.
