Re: Is there Ayurveda hair dye
Fri, August 24, 2007 - 1:29 PMPre-mature greying is a common trait for Pitta doshas. You might try looking into Pitta-pacifying foods, activities, etc. (Do a google search... but overall think of "cooling" foods.)
Also.... henna is a natural hair dye (not necessarily pitta- or ayurveda-specific). Be careful of which henna products you buy because some are mixed with other chemicals.
I've used this brand before: www.rainbowresearch.com/html/henna.htm You can also get their products at Whole Foods. -

Thu, August 30, 2007 - 7:05 PMI thought premature grey was in the realm of Vata...as far as I knew, Vata was responsible for the aging process and the later third of the human life cycle. I'd like to know more about the Pitta relation? -

Thu, August 30, 2007 - 7:10 PMooh and I remembered that some Indian groceries have Amla hair oil, too...or perhaps you could try using virgin coconut oil as a leave in conditioner overnight (I wouldn't think everday, though). That should pacify both Vata and Pitta.

Also a concoction of shikakai and areetha for washing hair is amazing. -
