5 Ayurvedic Herbs for Hair Care

One popular alternative treatment for hair loss and hair thinning problem comes in the form of Ayurveda herbs. In Sanskrit, Ayurveda means life science. It is a combination of two words: ayur, meaning life and veda, meaning science. 

This conventional form of healing takes into consideration a series of factors which include proper lifestyle, mental balance and spiritual nourishment to promote good health of the body and the hair.

Ayurveda practitioners believe that an individual’s health depends on the three doshas known as kapha, pitta, and vatta. By eliminating too much pitta dosha through the use of herbs, a person can prevent the onset of hair loss and hair thinning problems as well as promote thicker, shinier and healthier hair strands.

There are hundreds of Ayurvedic herbs which promote hair regrowth by nourishing, moisturizing and conditioning the hair follicles and the scalp. Five of the most recognized Ayurvedic herbs for hair care are amla, bhringraj, ghritkumari, menthulu and brahmi.
