At the European Ayurveda Resort Sonnhof, Dr. Alaettin Sinop and our Ayurveda specialists Gaurav Sharma and Deepa Naik develop individual strategies and tips against hair loss - based on constitution, lifestyle and inner balance.
The most important facts in brief: Healthy hair starts on the inside
Hair needs more than just external care. With European Ayurveda® you will find a profound, natural method to not only stop hair loss, but to build up new vitality in the long term. The key lies in finding the right balance - and treating your body with care.
#1 Tip: Determine your dosha imbalance
Depending on the constitutional type, hair loss can have different causes:
- Vata-related: dry, brittle hair due to nervous weakness, lack of sleep, stress
- Pitta-related: inflamed, oily scalp, hormonal, heat-related
- Kapha-related: oily scalp, slow hair growth, dandruff, weak digestion
#2 Tip: Nutrition to strengthen hair
- Sattvic, fresh food with lots of green vegetables, ghee and sources of iron
- Avoid spicy, acidic and highly processed foods (especially for Pitta hair loss)
- Intake of Rasayanas such as AmalakiTriphala, Brahmi and Ashwagandha
European Ayurveda® Ghee
Ghee is the "liquid gold" of Ayurvedic medicine. It is easy to digest, digestible and improves the taste and nutritional value of all foods. Food cooked with ghee improves the effect of the digestive fire Agni and can therefore be better assimilated.
#3 Tip: Detox and strengthen your digestion
- Swedish bitters or liver teas for detoxification
- Hot water drinking cure and bitter juices
- Regular cleansing days to eliminate ama (metabolic residues)
#4 Tip: Ayurvedic scalp care
- Oil massages with Bhringraj oil or neem oil
- Gentle head treatments such as Shiromardana
- Weekly hair masks with Manjistha, Amla or Brahmi powder
#5 Tip: Mental balance & coaching
- Relaxation techniques such as yoga nidra or meditation
- Journaling and mind detox to reduce mental stress
- Individual support with questions such as:
- Where do I currently feel pressure that "gets to the root"?
- What nourishes me emotionally - what robs me of strength?
“Many people underestimate the role of the liver in hair loss. A buildup of Pitta in the blood can directly affect the hair roots, which is why we often detoxify first before nourishing.”
Gaurav Sharma, Ayurveda specialist at the European Ayurveda Resort Sonnhof in Tyrol
