Have you ever noticed how men and women from India have such healthy hair? A month ago, I could not contain my curiosity and just had to ask one of our clients. Her answer was that they practice hair ayurveda. Ayurveda is one of the world's oldest medical systems and that stumped me since what do medicines have to do with great hair. She explained that the aim of Ayurveda is to integrate and balance the body, mind, and spirit. The belief is it helps prevent illness and promotes wellness. Since promoting wellness includes all components of our body ayurvedic hair care is part and parcel of it.

Ayurveda for hair rely heavily on herbs and other plants-including oils and common spices. Two herbs that are usually found in ayurvedic hair products are Eclipta alba and Gotu Kola. Eclipta alba or "Bhringaraj" nourishes the hair and helps increase your resistance to stress. Brahmi, sometimes called Gotu Kola, also helps balance the mind and nourishes the hair and scalp. Hair ayurvedic assumes that the health, luster and color of hair depend on mind and body health as a whole. So Ayurvedic hair oil when applied to the scalp nourishes and strengthens the root plus herbal preparations for hair should also help with stress. Examples are Country Mallow, which strengthens the physiology, and Winter Cherry, which helps in de-stressing.

Ayurvedic hair oil should be applied daily or at least 3 times a week. Hair ayurveda also suggests cooking Urad dal(black bean) or fenugreek (Methi) creating a paste from it and using it like a hair mask. One should coat hair with it 2 to 3 times a week for an hour then wash it off with a mild shampoo. Most Ayurvedic hair products should have a range of shampoos and conditioners available.
