Today you can find millions of topical options for hair loss all built up with loads of chemicals and parabens, plus they’re costly, and sometimes extremely dangerous for your hair.
All that is done with the promise of getting back the original shine and thickness to your hair, but does it actually do what it says on the label?
Today, we’ll talk about the various remedies suggested by ayurvedic treatments to reduce hair thinning.
Most of the factors causing thinning and loss of hair are rooted in stress and anxiety, which is why we can often see thinning occurring due to chronic depression or insomnia. Add to that unhealthy eating habits and you have a recipe for thinning and loss of hair.
You’ll see several ayurvedic practitioners suggesting herbal remedies to control such thinning or loss, but then again it isn’t guaranteed that all these will work on every individual, because every person has their own unique composition to react with certain herbs.
Hair Thinning Treatments From Ayurveda
There are various ayurvedic remedies for hair loss. In general, the solutions recommend a healthy diet, daily oil massage to stimulate circulation and a daily scalp bath in either milk or water with a few drops of your favorite essential oils.
Ayurveda has more than several solutions for all kinds of daily problems including thinning of hairs. Iron deficiency is one of the chief causes of thinning and shedding of hairs which can be tackled by any of these remedies mentioned below.
Amla (Indian gooseberry)
Amla is a rich source of Vitamin C and other nutrients, which have been known to promote hair growth since the olden days. Amla has antioxidants that fight off free radicals in your body and prevent hair loss.
You can eat amla in the form of fruit or pack it on your scalp as a home remedy for thinning hair. You can even apply its paste onto your scalp before going to bed every night.
Arishta (Buttermilk)
Take 2 teaspoons of Butter Milk and add 1 teaspoon each of honey and lemon juice. Apply this paste on your entire head including the crown area where you see maximum thinning. Let it stay on your scalp for 30 minutes, before you rinse it off with lukewarm water.
Aloe Vera Juice & Castor Oil
Mix equal parts of Aloe Vera juice and castor oil in a bowl. Apply this mixture onto your thinning areas, leave it on for an hour then shampoo your hair as usual. You can also use castor oil by itself to massage into the thinning area twice daily to stimulate hair growth.
Hibiscus Flower (Jaswant)
People with dry hair can mix fresh Hibiscus Petals powder in coconut oil or Amla oil and apply the paste directly onto their scalps to get thick, smooth, and shiny hair in a natural way.
Fenugreek Oil
You can cook Fenugreek seeds in coconut oil and apply the oil to your scalp every night before going to bed. It is one of the best home remedies to control hair fall and regrow new ones.

It provides strength to the roots of hairs and stimulates them to grow thick and strong. This therapy has been proved as the best herbal formula for hair fall, baldness and dandruff problems.
Karanj Oil
You can prepare Karanj oil by mixing dry Karanj seeds in coconut oil and store it in a bottle. Simply massage this oil over your scalp before going to bed every night. It is one of the cheapest home remedies for thinning hair.
Ashwagandha (Indian Ginseng)
Ashwagandha or Indian ginseng is an excellent remedy to prevent receding hairlines. Its root extract helps in improving the energy levels which make you feel less stressed out, thus reducing anxiety-related issues that are also linked to hair loss.
Henna Leaves
You can prepare a homemade pack using dried Henna leaves: Boil some water and immerse the dried Henna leaves. Remove from the heat and let the mixture steep for about 30 minutes. Strain this herbal water into a bowl, mix in some castor oil or olive oil and apply it directly on your hairline to get rid of thinning hair.
Neem
You can drink neem tea or even make a paste of dried neem leaves and apply it directly on your scalp to control hair fall. Neem leaves have been used for centuries due to their medicinal properties which make hair healthy and thick.
Shikakai
Take some Shikakai powder in a clean bowl, mix it with water to make a thick paste. Apply this mixture onto your scalp every night before going to bed, leave it on for about 1-2 hours then rinse it off with warm water. Repeat the treatment regularly for best results.
Vida Kelp Extracts
Mix equal amounts of Vida kelp extracts in coconut oil and apply immediately onto the thinning areas before going to bed at night. Leave this pack overnight so that all nutrients absorb into the scalp while you sleep deeply. Wash your hair thoroughly with shampoo the next morning before heading out of the home.
Bhringraj Oil (Eclipta Alba)
Mix bhringraj oil (Eclipta alba), coconut oil, Brahmi ghrta, and mango butter into one mixture and massage it onto your dry scalp 2 times per day. This will reduce hair fall and also promote the growth of new hair.
Nigella Oil
The ancient Egyptians used Nigella oil to prevent thinning of their own hairs and black castor oil is still favored by many women for such purposes. You can prepare a mixture of sesame seed oil, almond oil, olive oil with nigella seeds and apply it to your scalp once or twice per week.
