Meditates!
Yoga has many
wonderful benefits for a
healthy body, healthy skin
and healthy hair. A healthy
diet and eating habits,
coupled with yoga practice,
keeps your hair healthy.
Yoga has been proven to
be an effective method for
improving overall health. It
will benefit your hair by:
• Lowering stress &
anxiety
• Enhancing blood
circulation to your scalp
• Increasing oxygen
transport to the brain
• Improving nutrient
absorption
• Balancing hormones
• Improving digestion
• Improving physical,
mental and spiritual
health
Vajrasana: It
helps improve digestion
and increases the blood
supply to all parts of the
body. With the increased
supply of blood, our dermal
papillae cells (scalp cells)
get nourished, resulting in
hair growth.
Uttanasana: It
improves blood circulation
in the upper half of the
body. It also helps relieve
stress, which is one of the
main causes of hair loss.
Adho Mukha
Shvanasana:
It improves blood
circulation to the
head which enables
hair growth. It
also compresses
the muscles in
the abdominal
region and improves
digestion. It stretches
neck and spine,
releasing stress and
calming you down so stress
doesn’t lead to hair loss.
Ushtrasana:
It increases the blood
circulation to the brain and
scalp cells, leading to hair
growth. It also regulates
the thyroxin hormone of
the thyroid which could
prevent hair loss.
Shirshasana:
Sirsasana helps revitalise
the brain by directing
an enriched supply of
oxygenated blood to the
brain cells. This helps the
scalp cells get nourished,
which leads to hair growth.
Kapalabhati
Pranayama: With
this, the brain cells receive
more oxygen which is good
for the nervous system and
hence enables better hair
growth. It aids digestion,
strengthens lungs, and
increases their capacity. It
also removes toxins from
the body.
