The reasoning behind it

Hair care in Ayurveda is scalp care, and it sits inside a daily rhythm.

Your constitutionWhich base oil suits you follows from whether you run hot, dry, or heavy.Daily routinesOiling works as a habit rather than an occasional fix. Dinacharya is the frame.Find your doshaFree, about three minutes, no email needed. It tells you which base oil to start with.

Hair loss has medical causes - thyroid disease, iron deficiency, androgenetic alopecia and others - that no oil addresses. Sudden shedding, patchy loss, or hair loss alongside other symptoms deserves proper assessment. Nothing here diagnoses or treats. See our medical disclaimer.
