Remedies for Hair Loss and Balding
Ayurveda can be very beneficial in treating these conditions as it
investigates the root cause of the problem. The causes for these hair conditions are:
Excess of Pitta dosha in the body is the chief cause of hair problems. Pitta is increased by excessive intake of tea, coffee, alcohol, meats
and excessive smoking. Pitta is also aggravated by eating too much fried, oily, greasy, spicy, sour, and acidic foods.

Intake of too many chemical medicines, low blood circulation, anemia,
general weakness after disease, stress, anxiety, and mental tension are also
prime causes of hair loss.

Chronic diseases like typhoid fever, presence of dandruff or lice and hormonal imbalance also cause hair loss.
So watch out carefully for these reasons! You may be overdoing one of them, and thus losing your beautiful hair.
Treatment
The first step is to locate the root cause in your diet or lifestyle that
may be increasing the Pitta dosha. Once you locate it, try to give up or at
least reduce the diet, habit, or activity responsible for increasing Pitta.
Always use a natural shampoo or soap to clean the hair. As most
soaps and shampoos have chemicals, they might be the cause of your problem. Usually the chemicals have a heating effect, and increase Pitta locally.
Amala (embilica officinalis), Shikakai (Acacia concinna) are very commonly used in India for washing the hair.

Oiling and massaging of scalp is very beneficial for stopping the hair loss. Use
coconut oil or mustard oil at least three times in a week. Certain medicated oils like 'Mahabhringraj oil', 'Amala oil', and 'Arnica oil' are very useful. Put oil on the scalp,
and massage gently in the roots of the hair.
The person should maintain a regular bowel movement everyday. In case of
constipation, a mild natural laxative can be taken. Triphala, an Ayurvedic
herbal powder, is also useful.

diet should contain more green leafy vegetables, salads, milk, fruits and sprouts.
Take more proteins, milk, buttermilk, yeast, wheat germ, soybean and vitamin A.
Regular physical exercise is very beneficial as it helps in balancing the aggravated doshas.

A special Ayurvedic preparation made from Bhringraj (Eclipta elba), Amala,
corals, iron and black sesame seeds is very useful, and even stops the graying of hair.

Rub your scalp vigorously after washing the hair. It increases the blood circulation, and activates the sebaceous glands.

A mixture of lettuce and spinach juice is good to drink to induce hair growth. The juice
of alfalfa mixed with that of carrot, and lettuce juice is also good to take.

Daily application of coconut oil mixed with lime juice on the hair is also beneficial.
Applying juice of green coriander leaves on the head is also good.

Washing the hair with a paste of cooked Urad dal (black beans) and
fenugreek (methi) 2-3 times a week, is also good.

A paste of licorice made by grinding it in milk can be applied in the bald patches. It induces hair growth. A paste of seeds of lemon and black pepper may also be applied on the bald patches.
