1/5

Amla (Indian Gooseberry)

Amla is a herb that is favoured mostly in Ayurveda in hair care. It is also very high in vitamin C and antioxidants, and this is useful to enhance the strength of hair follicles and lessen their breakages. Amla also enhances blood flow in the scalp, thus improving healthy growth of hair. This is because regular application of amla prevents early greying, gives hair a shine and increases the volume of hair. It may be applied as amla oil, powder and water, or taken as fresh juice in order to serve as general hair food.

Brahmi

Brahmi is considered a compound that puts people at ease and helps to alleviate stress, which is one of the biggest causes of falling hair. It enriches hair roots, feeds the scalp and assists in lessening dandruff and itching of the scalp. Brahmi oil or a hair mask can be used to increase the thickness of the hair and minimise hair loss with time. Brahmi aids in the growth of hair, as stress and anxiety influence this growth process.  Also Read - Ayurveda Tips: How To Control Hair-fall Naturally As Per Ayurveda, Expert Speaks, Watch Video

Ashwagandha

Ashwagandha assists in the management of stress-induced hair fall and hormonal changes. It promotes normal cortisol; hair loss related to stress is lowered. Blood circulation to the scalp is also enhanced by this herb, which means that hair follicles are satisfied with nutrients. As a supplement that can be ingested internally or applied as an herb in hair care, ashwagandha assists in making hair thicker and stronger and assists in hair growth in general.

Bhringraj (False Daisy)

Bhringraj is often referred to as the king of herbs in treating hair since in many cases it is used to treat hair fall as well as promote new hair growth. It helps relax the head, minimises dryness, and strengthens the hair at the roots. Bhringraj oil can particularly be helpful for those people who have excessive shedding of hair or thinning or hair loss due to stress. Rubbing bhringraj oil on the head too can increase the sleep, which indirectly enhances the quality of the hair.  Also Read - Meditation, Mindfulness And Yoga: Simple Daily Practices To Calm The Mind And Improve Mental Well-being
