Ayurveda and Hairs key to healthy hair and nails? According to Ayurveda, hair and nails are the by-product of bone metabolism, so your diet must nourish the bone tissue. At the same time, your diet must also purify the fat tissue, because healthy bone tissue depends on healthy fat tissue. Thus, taking care of the fat tissue, and simultaneously nourishing the bone, is the key to hair and nail health. People are often told to take lots of calcium to strengthen their nails and bones, but calcium will not help if the fat tissue is filled with ama, the toxic waste-product of incorrect digestion. Impurities in the fat tissue cause weakened bone production, and that is reflected in dull hair, weak nails and problem skin. Food that is recommend for strengthening hairs in ayurveda ? Eating more sweet, juicy fruits, cooked greens, and leafy green vegetables with a bitter taste will help. Seasoning the vegetables with equal parts of fenugreek,  cumin  turmeric and coriander, sauteed in ghee, will also help purify fat tissue and strengthen bone tissue. Adding fresh shredded coconut to your diet and always using healthy fats — such as olive oil or ghee — in cooking is also recommended. At the same time, it's important to avoid foods that are difficult to digest and create ama (digestive impurities). Stay away from excessive amounts of refined sugars; ice-cold drinks; cold foods straight from the refrigerator; leftovers; processed and packaged foods; unhealthy fats; and heavy, deep-fried foods. It's also important to follow the diet that provides balance for you as an individual.Exercising regularly with yogasanas will also help balance fat metabolism. Herbal products Avoid using harsh commercial shampoos and conditioners that contain DEA, sodium lauryl sulfate, or other such chemicals, as these can strip the luster it from your hair and cause deeper imbalances. It also helps to massage the hair with warm oil. If your hair is dry, massage your head at least twice a week; otherwise, once a week is enough. A warm-oil massage stimulates the scalp and helps moisturize the hair and scalp. The Healthy Hair and Nails  herbal formula helps balance the system internally to produce shiny hair and strong nails.
