Herbal approach to hair problems

- Neeta’s Herbal offers a safe and natural solution for hair problems.

NEETA’S Herbal offers a safe and natural solution for hair problems. A pioneer in Ayurvedic hair treatment, Neeta Gosalia has been practising herbal treatment for the past 29 years and has establishe­d many outlets worldwide.

She introduced her corrective formulas after years of research.

Research has shown that stress is a vital factor in determinin­g hair condition. A poor hair care regimen, climate changes, lifestyle and diet also contribute to the loss of hair growth.

Hair fall is listed into two categories – distribute­d over the whole scalp or localised to certain areas of the scalp. Some cases of Alopecia are caused by infection of bacteria or other pathogens while others may be attributed to severe systemic disease.

Other problems associated with the hair and scalp include Alopecia Areata, dandruff, rashes, itchiness, pimple-like protrusion­s (sometimes pus-filled), dry and brittle hair, premature greying, patchy hair fall and male-pattern hair fall.

Dry, brittle hair with split ends can be due to frequent perming, straighten­ing and excessive use of the hairdryer.

The hair root is the life source of the hair and responsibl­e for all its natural qualities. Therefore, root nourishmen­t is essential.

“It’s difficult to change your eating habits, but you must do it. Instead of carbonated drinks with almost every meal, why not take fruit juice, soya milk or barley drink, which are not only nutritious but also help reduce heat in the body,” Neeta advises.

“You may even need a blood test if you have an illness. Hairstylis­ts inexperien­ced with the physiology of hair health may recommend a perm to temporaril­y volumise your hair. However, once it wears off you will have visible gaps between the curls.”

In some cases, hair fall appears to be common among male family members. Such genetic disorders may be treated depending on severity and whether the pores can still be activated.

A thorough consultati­on will provide a clear treatment path.

As for premature greying, treatment should be done from the onset. Neeta advises to refrain from pulling out grey hairs, as this form of forceful removal seems to cause a chain reaction that increases the production of de-pigmented hair.

Protein treatment, minerals and vitamin supplement­s are said to lessen greying, but there are more effective ways to eradicate this issue.

Frequently changing shampoos, which are mostly detergent-based, should also be avoided.
