The Ayurvedic Approach to Balancing Blood Cholesterol
March 25, 2024Kapha in balance, promotes thick, lustrous, and strong hair.
Kapha, which consists of the elements earth and water, embodies qualities such as heaviness, stability, smoothness, and lubrication. Kapha’s nourishing and grounding qualities contribute to good hair health. Kapha’s natural moisture helps keep the scalp and hair nice and hydrated, which is the key to avoiding dryness and brittleness. The strength and stability of Kapha provides hair with more density, making it look fuller and shinier.
On the flip side, when Vata or Pitta get out of balance, you might start noticing changes, such as dry, brittle hair, an itchy scalp, dandruff, premature graying, or even some hair thinning or loss. Kapha provoking super ingredients that can enhance the beauty of your mane include oats, avocado, and a good intake of protein can help nourish your hair.
