Now I believe it to be more about consistency. Do get on the mat. Practice and life are not that different." — Judith Hanson Lasater

Yoga for Hair Loss: Simple tricks to avoid hair loss

There are many reasons for hair fall such as hormonal deficiencies, diseases, deficiency in diet and medications or treatments like chemotherapy and psychological issues like stress and depression.Hair loss not only depends upon external factors such as dandruff, sun exposure and so on but also it is result of a result of an unhealthy diet. There are many types of therapies available to overcome hair loss out of which following are commonly given : Hair transplant, hair restoration, hair extensions, stem cell treatment. Hair loss in men is generally caused by male pattern baldness (hereditary), DHT(Dihydrotestosterone) hormone release, alchohol, smoking, etc.

                        

There is a natural yoga method which can cure almost all hair related issues like premature greying, hairfall, dandruff etc. known as Prasanna Mudra, but the only difference between other mudras and this one is that hand move unevenly and unlike while practicing others.

Method : Rub four fingernails (except thumb) of both hands against each other.
Surface of fingernails should rub hardly against each other.
Since roots of hair follicles on scalp are connected to fingernails, this pressure creation will help in pumping required nutrition to the scalp and promote hair growth.
If you rub tip of fingernails of one hand against surface of fingernails of another hand, then it accelerates hair growth on ears.
If you rub surfaces of only both thumbnails against each other, you can notice faster growth of moustache and beard.
If you rub nail tips of one hand with surface of other hand’s nails, hair in ears will grow.
So, it is important to rub without causing friction to nail ends and avoid thumbs.
Apart from this exercise, try to quit smoking and have control over alchohol consumption.
Also add atleast 80-100 gms of protein, 30 gms of iron and enough sulphur.
Drink plenty of pure water, which can help removing toxics fromk your body.
If you are suffering from anameia, increase your iron intake.
Get cured, if you suffer from indigestion and constipation.
Because wastage stored in intestines, block blood circulation to brain and also pollute blood.
Do this atleast for 10 minutes(increase time limit if your hairfall is more) in morning, before breakfast and 10 minutes in evening, before dinner.
Along with this yoga, practice prithvi mudra for 40 minutes each day.
People having high blood pressure should avoid balayam. it may aggravate the condition.
Letting your hair get enough sunlight everyday is also important.
Balayam may not be effective in types of baldness like Alopecia areata, Alopecia totalis, Alopecia universalis etc.
