Ayurvedic and Yogic Approach


    Hair fall is a common concern affecting people worldwide, with causes ranging from genetic factors and hormonal imbalances to lifestyle choices and stress. In pursuing healthy hair, many individuals turn to Ayurveda and Yogic science for natural and holistic solutions. These ancient Indian systems offer a unique blend of herbal remedies, dietary guidelines, and yogic practices to promote hair health from within.


Ayurvedic Principles in Hair Fall Treatment -


Ayurveda, the traditional Indian system of medicine, views hair fall as a result of imbalances in the doshas — Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. According to Ayurvedic principles, the imbalance of these life forces leads to disruptions in bodily functions, including those related to hair growth.


1. Herbal Remedies -

   Ayurveda advocates the use of various herbs to address specific doshic imbalances. Amla (Indian gooseberry), Brahmi, Bhringraj, Neem, and Aloe Vera are commonly recommended for rejuvenating properties. These herbs are believed to nourish the scalp, strengthen hair roots, and improve blood circulation to the follicles.


2. Dietary Guidelines -

   Ayurvedic dietary recommendations for hair health include incorporating foods that balance the doshas. Consuming a nutrient-rich diet with an emphasis on fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and dairy products can help address nutritional deficiencies contributing to hair fall.


3. Oil Massage (Abhyanga) -

   Regular scalp massage with herbal oils, such as coconut oil or sesame oil infused with Ayurvedic herbs, is a key component of Ayurvedic hair care. Massaging the scalp enhances blood circulation, reduces stress, and nourishes the hair follicles, promoting healthy hair growth.


Yogic Science in Hair Fall Treatment -


Yoga, a holistic discipline originating from ancient India, is known for its profound impact on physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Certain yogic practices contribute to the prevention and reduction of hair fall.


1. Pranayama (Breath Control) -

   Deep breathing exercises like Kapalbhati and Anulom Vilom enhance oxygen supply to the body, including the scalp. Improved oxygenation supports the health of hair follicles and mitigates stress, a common contributor to hair fall.


2. Asanas (Yoga Poses) -

   Specific yoga poses, such as Sarvangasana (Shoulder Stand) and Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward-Facing Dog), increase blood flow to the scalp and stimulate the hair follicles. These poses also help in reducing stress and balancing hormonal fluctuations.


3. Meditation -

   Stress is a significant factor in hair fall, and meditation is a powerful tool to manage stress levels. Regular meditation practices, such as mindfulness or transcendental meditation, can positively impact hormonal balance and promote overall well-being, indirectly benefiting hair health.



     Combining Ayurveda and Yogic science provides a thorough method of treating hair loss problems. People can improve not just the health of their hair but also their whole well-being by employing yogic techniques, knowing and balancing the doshas, using herbal medicines, and according to dietary requirements.

  The fundamental question is, in a day, how much of your thoughts, emotion, physical activity, breath, heartbeat and everything else is conscious. - Sadhguru The Nadi's that  has always kept me captivating. It's like when i was in school, I heard about Ida, Pingala and Sushumna Nadi. But then these were mere mysteries, because Yoga was then unknown to me. Then after years of practicing, the series of asana, and keeping awareness of breath while maintaining the mahamudra, I began feeling the zilt of these Nadi's. I came across a subtle feeling that can only be felt and cant be explained. The left and right part inside my body are being distributed in genealogical form. It made me sensitive to vibration, and these vibrations were happening in these nadi's that brought change in me, a change impossible to explain with mere words.  - Tanmay Bhati  Ida, Pingla and Sushumna Nadi If we are not living in our bodies, honoring them as our temple.

"Listen to the Un-struck Sounds and What Sifts Through That Music"- Rumi An unstruck sound, deep inside the matter, when closely examined through magnification, can bump your ears with the Soundless Sound of vibrations, These are the strings of the quarks, or so, The Anahad Naad, a cosmic sound, that depicts a completeness of oneself, One who can hear this Naad, is so extrasensory perceptible, that he can know the entire working of the cosmos, and attains Nirvikalpa Samadhi. -Tanmay Bhati   Anahada Naad, An Un-struck Sound -     If you started out knowing everything theoretically, then there is no magic or wonder occurring in the cosmos. Here, I've connected the String Theory with the so-called Anahad Naada, a soundless sound. Since every particle in the universe, whether it contains life or not, is vibrating constantly. Additionally, practically everything in the universe has a fundamental sound that we are unable to perceive with our usual senses. As we move closer to t

  Energy and Kundalini Everything around us, including the silent mimicry of trees during the rainy season, the flow of water, the beauty of a rainbow, the free flow of an artist at his highest level of precision, the dance of the peacock, and the fragrance of a flower, transpires without flow when we are in our actual conditions, unquestionably in its most natural state, this is what Kundalini means. Kundalini awakening is not a process, it is the transformation of a physical being to an energy being, more subtly.   A 2017 study published in the Journal of Transpersonal Psychology looked at the connection between spiritual experiences and Kundalini activation. The research discovered a variety of spiritual experiences, including mystical encounters, feelings of oneness with the universe, and heightened intuition, was linked to Kundalini rising. Kundalini" means "coiled serpent." At the base of the spine, robust and dormant energy is thought to reside. The chakras, or en
