7 Ayurvedic Remedies To Reverse Premature Grey Hair

Massage with hibiscus oil: Hibiscus, rich in pigments, antioxidants, and vitamins, promotes melanin production. Massaging hair with hibiscus oil prevents premature greying and conditions hair effectively. Dr Shailendra Chaubey, head of Ayurveda at Traya suggests

Natural hair mask: Create a paste by combining Methi Seeds, Curry Leaves, Hibiscus Flowers, and Aloe Vera juice. Apply this mixture regularly to your hair. Curry leaves, an impeccable choice for revitalising the hair roots, are rich in Vitamin B which aids the follicles to restore their colour pigment while also preventing premature grey hair

Balance pitta: Achieving balance in the 'Pitta' or heat element is crucial in Ayurveda to address issues like early greying of hair. Using cooling 'Pitta-Shamak' (heat-reducing formula) herbs like Amla, Brahmi, Bhringraj, Neem, and Sandalwood, promotes overall hair health and potentially prevents premature greying

Usage of Ayurvedic Herbs: Regularly use a decoction of Ayurvedic herbs like amla, ritha, and shikakai to reverse greying. Amla is rich in antioxidants that promote hair health, ritha serves as a natural cleanser, and shikakai helps maintain the scalp's natural oils. This combination not only aids in reversing greying but also nourishes and strengthens the hair

Henna is known for imparting a reddish hue; indigo adds a deep colour; amla nourishes and promotes hair health, while bergamot oil provides a pleasant fragrance
