Understanding the Hair Loss Condition
Hair loss is a common condition that affects people of all ages and genders. Hair loss can occur in various forms, such as hair thinning, complete baldness, bald patches, etc. Each type of hair loss requires a different line of treatment, making it essential to detect the underlying cause. In simple terms, if you are losing more than 100 strands of hair daily, it can be termed as hair loss.
At Dr Janugade’s Ayurvedic Panchakarma Centre, we have specialised treatment techniques to treat hair loss. We follow a systematic approach wherein we aim to balance the doshas in the body (Kapha, Pitta, and Vata) to treat the condition from its root.
Ayurvedic Panchakarma Treatment for Hair Loss
The panchakarma therapy is a set of five treatments that aim at balancing the doshas in the body. Different combination of therapies are used to treat different conditions. These therapies treat the hair loss condition and also support one’s overall wellbeing. Our panchakarma therapies do more than just control hair loss; they also help with hair regrowth.
- Abhyanga
This is an ayurvedic massage therapy that helps in the nourishment of hair follicles. In this massage technique, medicated oils and herbs are used on the scalp for massage. This helps increase the blood flow to the nerve ends and provides hydration to the scalp to support hair growth.
- Swedana
Swedana is a herbal steam treatment that helps open the clogged pores and remove trapped toxins. This treatment technique helps reduce scalp inflammation and promotes relaxation, which helps in the reduction of hair loss. This panchakarma treatment is also used for overall relaxation.
- Shirodhara
A continuous stream of warm medicated oils is poured on the forehead in this ayurvedic panchakarma treatment for hair loss. This technique is widely used for hair loss conditions caused due to stress, hypertension, and anxiety. Shirodhara helps with relaxation and enhances blood flow to the scalp, stimulating hair growth.
- Shiro Lepa
This is another effective ayurvedic panchakarma treatment for hair loss. In this technique, a hair mask made from herbal pastes is directly applied to the scalp to nourish and rejuvenate hair follicles.
Shama Chikitsa
In all the above-mentioned therapies, different ayurvedic herbs are used. Some of the most common herbs used in the ayurvedic treatment of hair loss include Bhringraj, Neem, Amla, Hibiscus, and Brahmi.
