Ayurveda Can Help Stop Hair Loss
by: Richard Mitchell
Most hair loss sufferers seek solutions from Western
medicine or turn to remedies derived from local traditions. Some
experts however argue that the ayurvedic system of medicine has
much to offer in dealing with hair loss conditions.
Ayurveda is the traditional system
of medicine practiced in India and Sri Lanka. It is a complete
approach to health care designed to promote a way of life rather
than an occasional treatment. As a holistic system of medicine
ayurveda focuses on our uniqueness and takes into account our
mental attitude, lifestyle and spirit which should not be treated
in isolation from each other.
According to ayurveda, the following principles
are beneficial to healthy and plentiful hair:
* The scalp must be kept cool, so protection from
sun and washing in cold or lukewarm water are paramount.
* Sound nutrition is key, so a hair-friendly diet should emphasize
proteins, iron, zinc, sulfur, Vitamin C, Vitamin B-Complex and
essential fatty acids.
* Use should be made of hair analysis to ascertain toxicity levels
and nutritional deficiencies.
* Oils, for example sesame and coconut, should be applied to the
scalp to nourish, lubricate and strengthen the roots. This will
also improve circulation to the head.
