Premature
Graying
When
a person's hair begins to turn gray before the age of 35, the condition is
called premature graying of hair.
Excess of pitta dosha in the body is the chief cause of premature graying.
Pitta is increased by the excessive intake of caffeinated and alcoholic
drinks, meats and by excessive smoking. Pitta is also aggravated by eating too
much of fried, greasy, spicy, and acidic food. Overdoing all or even any one
of them may be the cause of your gray hair!
Easy Home Remedies
Prepare an Ayurvedic powder by mixing together equal quantities of
turmeric, amla and neem or margosa leaves. One teaspoon of this powder can be
taken twice a day with water. In case amla and neem are not available, only a
half-teaspoon of turmeric powder may be had twice a day with water.
Constipation may often be the cause of these hair conditions. Use a mild
Ayurvedic laxative such as triphala everyday.
Our feet tend to get neglected as they are hidden from view. But the feet work
very hard and without proper care develop many problems like corns and
bunions, cracks, infections or ingrown nails. These conditions are not only
unsightly, they can be very painful and make walking even small distances very
difficult.
Massaging the feet each night with oil is relaxing, and good for the skin and
nails on the feet. It keeps them soft and supple. In winter, the oil can be
warmed or substituted with sesame or mustard oil. In summer, coconut oil
provides a cooling effect. If the feet do not absorb the oil totally, wear
socks before going to bed.
