Say Goodbye to Thin Hair: Ayurvedic Tips for Hair Thickness


Ayurvedic Q&A for Naturally Thicker Hair


1. How can I get thicker hair naturally?

Thicker hair comes from a healthy body and strong digestion (Agni). Eat nourishing foods like ghee, coconut, nuts, and leafy greens. Regular scalp massages with warm oils like coconut or sesame strengthen roots and promote growth.


2. What should I eat to improve hair thickness?

Ayurveda recommends iron-rich greens, soaked nuts, seeds, fresh fruits, and ghee. Avoid excessive spicy, salty, or processed foods, as they can weaken hair follicles.


3. Can oiling my hair really help with thickness?

Yes! Regular scalp massage (Shiro Abhyanga) with warm oil improves circulation, strengthens roots, and prevents thinning. Use coconut, sesame, or amla oil for best results.


4. What is the best Ayurvedic hair wash for thick hair?

Skip chemical shampoos and use herbal cleansers like Shikakai, Reetha, Amla, and Fenugreek to clean without stripping natural oils.


5. How often should I wash my hair for healthy growth?

Wash 2–3 times a week using natural cleansers. Overwashing removes essential oils, while infrequent washing leads to buildup and weak roots.


6. Can stress cause hair thinning?

Yes, stress increases Vata Dosha, leading to hair fall. Practice deep breathing, meditation, and evening herbal teas to calm the mind and support hair growth.


7. How does sleep affect hair thickness?

Poor sleep weakens Ojas (vital energy), leading to hair fall. Maintain a fixed sleep schedule and avoid late-night eating for better hair health.


8. What is the best Ayurvedic remedy for hair fall?

Apply a hair mask with hibiscus, fenugreek, and coconut milk once a week. Massage your scalp daily and maintain a balanced diet for long-term results.


9. Can thin hair become thick again?

Yes, with consistent Ayurvedic care! Focus on diet, regular oiling, stress management, and herbal hair treatments to restore thickness naturally.


By following these simple Ayurvedic practices, you can naturally achieve thick, strong, and healthy hair!

How to know hair follicles are active or not?

 Many men during online consultation used to ask me  " How will I know, if my hair follicle is active or not? " Here are a few ways 👇 Observe Hair Growth: If you see fine, short hair (vellus hair) or longer, thicker hair (terminal hair) in the area, follicles are active. However, if the area is smooth and shiny without any hair growth, the follicles may be inactive. Examine Scalp Health: A healthy scalp, with adequate hydration and minimal flakiness, is more likely to support active follicles. Redness, inflammation, or excessive dryness can indicate issues affecting follicle activity. Check for Signs of Miniaturization: When follicles are active but weakened, they may produce thinner, shorter hairs. This process, known as follicular miniaturization, is often a sign of conditions like androgenic alopecia. Pull Test: Gently tug on a small section of hair. If more than a few strands come out, this may suggest shedding due to issues affecting follicle health, but it doesn’t ...

  Why Bread for Breakfast Could Be Sabotaging Your Health"🙄 A patient came to me five years ago complaining of back pain after his wife had been away for five days. He had been surviving on plain bread three times a day due to his desk job. As a doctor, I could easily see that his poor food choices had contributed to his discomfort." Bread, particularly refined white bread, can negatively impact digestion, energy levels, and overall health when consumed regularly, especially in the morning when the body needs nourishing and easily digestible foods to fuel the day.

Consuming bread, especially with butter or jam, can overload the digestive system, as it is heavy and difficult to digest. This can lead to the formation of ama (toxins), which Ayurveda identifies as the root cause of many diseases. Refined bread, in particular, i...
