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.
