Writtern by Dr. Akhil B.A.M.S

Normally a few number of hair will fall from our head. This is not at all a problem. Hair fall is phenomenon where the hair falls in an abnormal way and new hairs are not growing in that area. Most hair problems are due to pitta dosha. Apart from pitta dosha, other reasons for hair fall are stress, digestion problem, headache, dandruff or fungal infections etc. In Ayurveda, a lot of herbs are there for reducing hair fall.

 Here I am going to explain the preparation of Ayurvedic hair oil which is good for dandruff and hair fall. For that we need Aloe Vera gel, Neem leaves, Tulsi leaves, Fenugreek seeds, pepper, Sesame oil and Lemon juice or Orange peel.
