Hair Cure
The most common cause of grey hair is the age. But a person can go grey because of several other reasons too. Prolonged illness, sudden and severe shock or intense worry are some of the causes. When you first see a couple of grey hair on your head, you usually have an irresistible urge to pull them off. This should never be done.
Every time you pull out a grey hair, you sow the seeds for some more.
In fact the root at the base of the hair follicle secrets an infectious serum which oozes out of the sebaceous glands through the oil sac. The serum covers a tiny area of healthy hair surrounding the grey hair, and whichever hairs are affected they turn grey.
If you feel you must get rid of the grey hair, cut close to the root, with a pair of small scissors.
If the grey hair comes off during brushing, there is no fear of further infection or spreading. It shows that the hair was so weak that it could not hold onto scalp. There are some home remedies for treatment of premature graying and these are: 1- Take giloya (tinospora cordiofolia and gokhroo) in equal parts and mix with honey.
One teaspoonful should be taken thrice a day. 2- Ground in powder two parts bhringaraja, one part black sesame seeds and one part amla. Take one teaspoonful of powder with milk and sugar twice daily for 4 to 6 weeks. 3- Ground into paste equal quantity of old mandur, amla and japa (hibiscus rosa-sinensis) flowers.
The paste should be applied on the head. Leave it on, when it has dried, the hair should be washed with water, in which amla has been soaked overnight. 4- Another paste recommended for the pre-mature graying of hair is to grind 2 parts amla, 2 parts harad and 3 parts old mandur into fine powder.
A spoonful of powder should be wetted with water. The paste may be kept in an iron vessel overnight and applied to the hair next morning. When the paste is dry, oil should be applied to the hair and then the paste should be washed thoroughly with cold water.5- Rinse hair with rosemary, sage or walnut leaves and shell. 6- Rinse hair with saffron, ginger root, marigold or red oak bark. Use red henna to dye the hair.
