7 Ayurvedic Remedies To Reduce Greying Of Hair


Bhringraj (Eclipta alba)

    In Ayurveda, this herb, also called fake daisy, is regarded as a king for healthy hair. Its abundance of vital fatty acids, vitamin E, and other nutrients feed the scalp and hair follicles, encouraging the formation of melanin and preventing greying. Bhringraj oil can be applied topically on the scalp, or its juice can be consumed with honey.

Amla (Indian Gooseberry)

    This vitamin C powerhouse is a natural antioxidant that combats free radical damage, a major contributor to hair greying. Amla juice can be applied directly to the scalp or consumed daily for its overall hair-boosting benefits. You can also find amla in hair care products like shampoos and conditioners.

Curry leaves

    These aromatic leaves are a gastronomic delight as well as a miracle for hair care. Their abundance of beta-carotene and proteins nourishes the hair and scalp, delays the onset of grey hair, and encourages the growth of new hair. Curry leaves can be added to your diet or ground into a paste to apply topically on your scalp.

Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri)

    Although this herb is well-known for its brain-boosting properties, it also has amazing effects on hair health. By promoting better blood flow to the scalp, brahmi oil feeds hair follicles and delays the onset of grey hair. You can use brahmi oil to your scalp or drink a powdered form of it diluted with warm water.

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)

    One of the main causes of hair greying is stress, which this adaptogenic plant helps reduce. Additionally, ashwagandha encourages hair growth and general scalp health. Ashwagandha powder can be taken as a supplement or combined with milk or ghee.

Neem (Azadirachta indica)

    This natural antibiotic has antifungal and antibacterial properties that help keep the scalp clean and healthy, preventing dandruff and scalp infections that can contribute to greying. You can use neem oil or paste on your scalp, or consume neem leaves in juice form.

Coconut oil and lemon juice

    This potent mixture encourages hair growth, reduces excess sebum from the scalp, and adds a natural sheen. Combine equal amounts of lemon juice and coconut oil, massage into your scalp, and let sit for half an hour before rinsing it out.
