Do You Know Why Oiling Reduces Hair Fall?

According to Ayurveda, excessive heat generated in the scalp(pitta)causes hair loss.Ayurveda recommends keeping the scalp moist and cool with oil massages of herbal hair oil made by infusing coconut oil or sesame oil with extracts of amla, Brahmi, hibiscus and fenugreek which cool the system and scalp and encourage the growth of hair.

Oiling is one of the best ways to nourish your hair. This process helps in relaxation as well as in curing of a headache and migraine. You can apply one oil or a mixture of more than one oils accordingly to get the best hair care benefits. Basically, there are two types of oils –  carrier oils and essential oils.

Carrier oils are our regular oils used as a base into which the more concentrated essential oils are mixed.

Essential oils are more highly concentrated. After diluting them with a carrier oil, you need to only apply them to the scalp and hair roots.

It’s up to you whether you want to apply carrier oil alone on your hair or mix essential oils in it.

Basic Steps to apply Oil:

• Prepare your hair by combing it thoroughly. It will help prevent tangling of your hair and messy oil application.
• The oil should be made lukewarm by slightly heating it. It makes the oiling more effective as the oil gets absorbed better when it is slightly warm.
• Now, part your hair and apply the oil on the scalp with your fingertips.
• Avoid pouring oil directly on the head. Instead, dip your fingertips in the oil and apply small quantities all over the scalp.
• Don’t rub your hair with the palms of your hands, instead, try using fingertips gently to massage the oil in which will help to prevent the hair from breaking.
• Massage your scalp for 10 to 15 minutes and then leave the oil in your hair overnight or for at least an Wash it off with your regular shampoo.
• Steaming the hair for 10 minutes using a hot towel just after oiling helps the scalp to absorb the oil better. Oil your hair at least twice a week to get the optimum benefits of the oil and absorb all its goodness

Oils for Different Types of Hair

Normal Hair: Normal hair has got balanced moisture levels and hence, people with such hair can use jojoba, amla, and almond based hair oils.

Dry Hair: Dry hair is usually dull, contains split ends and prone to tangle easily. The oils like coconut, castor oil, mustard oil, jojoba oil, cocoa butter oils are best for dry hair type.

Oily Hair: Oily hair arises from excess production of sebum or oil on the scalp. Hence, the oil that is used should have the ability to balance the respective oil secretion glands of the scalp. Olive, sesame, or jojoba oils have been proven to be the best help for such hair types

Dandruff Hair: Dandruff can be caused by either fungal infections, dust or other scalp issues like dryness of scalp, allergic conditions. Essential oils like tea tree oil,  rosemary oil are highly effective in curing the dandruff issue by aiming directly at the root of the problem. The tea-tree oil is the best oil for treating dandruff problems.

Precautionary Measures:

Avoid oiling your hair during humid climate, longer outings, and having an oily scalp.

Do not keep the hair oiled for more than 1 day as it may accumulate dirt and dust.

Fenugreek-Nature’s Boon For All Round Health!!

Fenugreek is truly Nature’s boon to mankind and has always been a part of my childhood days,my motherhood,and my beauty care and health care routine for my family as well…I remember when we were kids,whenever someone had an upset stomach or a stomach ache,the first thing our elders used to give us was a spoonful of powdered ajowain,jeera and methi seeds,and the pain would just go away.Have you experienced this yourself???
Rich in protein,Vitamin C,Calcium,Phosphorus and Iron in their natural forms, Fenugreek seeds and leaves have high  mineral and vitamin content which are easily absorbed by our body.
The oblong,flattened,brownish seeds have a slightly bitter taste,are roasted and ground, then used to flavour curries.The fresh leaves have a strong smell and they are extensively used,either fresh or dried,in Arabian countries,Turkey and India.

Both the leaves and seeds of this slightly bitter-tasting vegetable are widely used in traditional Indian cooking;the seeds are generally used as a condiment and for flavouring.Fenugreek when taken regularly not only reduces cholesterol and blood sugar levels,but is also used for the treatment of various ailments like heartburn,diarrhoea,fevers etc.Thus fenugreek not only has exceptional medicinal uses,but can be used as a beauty aid as well.

Medicinal Uses of Fenugreek(Methi)

Reduces blood sugar levels:Eating a teaspoon of methi seeds or drinking the juice of methi seeds,the first thing in the morning or an hour before each meal is found to be highly beneficial in the treatment of diabetes as affirmed by  many naturopaths.Soak methi seeds in water the previous night and then drink the water or grind the seeds to extract a paste or juice.)
