Giving birth to a child is probably the most beautiful feeling in the world, but the horror of finding large clumps of hair on your comb can be your biggest nightmare. Postpartum hair fall is the most natural phenomenon of your body, and it's entirely normal for hair to shred in the first 2-6 months after delivery. Our bodies go through a change of hormones before and after pregnancy. While pregnancy causes a rise in levels of progesterone, oxytocin, estrogen and prolactin, after pregnancy, the levels drop quickly to the normal level in just 24 hours. Your scalp then makes up for the lost period, and you start experiencing an ocean of hair fall.

What Does Ayurvedic View Say?

The balance of three vital energies in your body, Vata, Pitta and Kapha, determine the overall health of your hair. To prevent excessive hair loss, Ayurveda recommends doing Vata-Pitta pacifying treatments from the beginning of the pregnancy through diet, lifestyle and herbal therapies.

Struggling with post-pregnancy hair fall? Well, we've got your back!

There are some Vata and Pitta pacifying herbs used in the hair oils, such as amla (Indian gooseberry), jatamansi (Indian spikenard), kumari (aloe vera) and shatavari (wild asparagus). Directions for use: Take a warm Ayurvedic oil and gently massage your scalp; wash your hair with Ayurvedic shampoo. You can do the massage at least once or twice a week.

Ayurvedic Diet

Vata and Pitta aggravating foods such as potatoes, baked foods, peas, cabbage, fried foods, and aerated drinks must be avoided by pregnant women and new mothers.
