Ayurveda is the ancient medical system that was prevalent in India and Sri Lanka. It is a holistic system that is meant to encourage a healthy way of life rather than simply treating the disease. Since ayurveda is a holistic system, it concentrates on our uniqueness and considers our attitude, lifestyle and spirit while providing treatment. It considers these factors as not being separate from our existence and hence should be considered.
Ayurveda recommends the following principles for healthy and bountiful hair:
- Keep the scalp cool. So stay away from hot sun and wash your hair in cold or lukewarm water.
-Proper nutrition is crucial. Hence the diet conducive to hair growth should include proteins, iron, zinc, sulfur, Vitamin C, Vitamin B-Complex and essential fatty acids.
- Undergo hair analysis to determine the toxicity levels and nutritional deficiencies.
- Oils like sesame and coconut should be applied to the scalp as they nourish, lubricate and make the roots stronger. They also increase the blood circulation to the head.
