Yoga for Hair growth

If you were wondering till now that can you follow yoga for hair loss, reduce hair fall and improve hair growth, let me tell you Yoga does wonders to curb hair loss (read baldness) and improve hair growth.
Good hair makes you look wonderful, isn’t it so everyone aspires to have healthy and good hair. But in the modern world, people are finding it difficult to maintain their hair as stress, bad eating habits, pollution etc are taking a toll on their hair. Lets have a look at the common reasons for hair loss:
  • Stress
  • Hormonal disorders
  • Thyroid disease
  • Auto-immune disorders
  • Poor health
  • Poor nutrition
  • Diseases
  • Medical treatments
  • Hair treatments
According to me the most common reason for hair loss today is the stress and bad eating habits. I know its easy to say that one should stop taking stress but you gotta find out ways to reduce stress and secondly on should increase the intake of nutritious food which contains vitamins and protein. One of the best ways to reduce stress for me has been regular yoga and pranayama. And, when your stress levels are low, your overall health will be good and so would be your hair. The many types of pranayama that are helpful for your hair are Anulomvilom, Bhastrika, Bahya, Kapalbhati and Udgeeth pranayama.
Here are a few Yoga poses to counter hair loss and increase hair growth:
1. Downward facing dog pose
2. Standing forward bend pose
3. Shoulder stand pose
4. Headstand pose
5. Camel pose
Nail rubbing: Nail rubbing is an effective way to cure hair fall and increase hair growth. Nail rubbing came into popularity when Baba Ramdev talked about its benefits and also shown the fantastic results.
Nail rubbing is very simple, just fold your fingers of both the hands and place the finger nails against each other. Simply rub the nails against each other. It is advised to do nail rubbing for five to seven minutes twice a day. Nail rubbing can be done while standing or sitting as well. Baba Ramdev recommends doing nail rubbing just before sleeping and also do it in a way that sounds come from nail rubbing.
All in all if you are regular at pranayama and the above mentioned yoga poses, I am sure you would see some improvement in your hair growth.

Ramdev Yoga for Hair Growth

To begin a practice of Ramdev yoga for hair growth, you must remember to be patient and entirely devoted to the practice of anywhere from 3 to 9 months in order to assess accurate results. The various breath types and uses are of primary concern for beginners. Remember that your stomach should be empty when practicing yoga. Before breakfast is a great time for this practice since the stomach is light and empty.
Bhastrika Breath
To perform the Bhastrika breathing, take deep breaths and be sure to completely push the air out of your lungs and diaphragm. You should repeat this breathing technique for at least 2 minutes and not more than 5 minutes. Bhastrika breathing benefits your heart, lungs, nervous system and respiration. To perform the Bhastrika breathing, take deep breaths and be sure to completely push the air out of your lungs and diaphragm. You should repeat this breathing technique for at least 2 minutes and not more than 5 minutes. Bhastrika breathing benefits your heart, lungs, nervous system and respiration. Your lungs are strengthened and general health is improved because the heart and head receive adequate supplies of oxygenated blood.

KapalBhati Breath
KapalBhati Breath is often referred to as a sneeze-like breath. It is fast without being forceful. In a comfortable seated position, you tuck the chin gently toward the chest and push air in and out of the nostrils at a quickened pace. In the beginning, this technique should be tried for no more than 1 minute or 30 breaths. You can increase when you are ready, to a maximum of 15 minutes. KapalBhati breathing is said to assist with weight loss at each exhalation. Additionally, the benefits of this technique include lowering cholesterol, concentration, snoring, diabetes and constipation.


                                                                           Anulom Vilom Breath
Anulom Vilom Breath involves a specific technique that is a bit more challenging to practice because it is contrary to our natural breathing pattern. By using the left thumb, you should cover the left nostril and proceed with inhalation using the left nostril only. Then, using the index finger on the left hand, exhale using the right nostril only. It is suggested that this technique be repeated for 15 to 30 minutes. These breaths should be deep and slow. The benefits of this type of Ramdev yoga are said to affect the heart, bent ligaments, cartilage and several disorders from high blood pressure to depression.


                                                               Bhramari Breath
The word Bhramari comes from the Sanskrit name bhramar, which refers to the humming bee. Hence, the bhramari breath produces a humming-like sound. This sound tends to calm the mind, tensions, anger, anxiety and even insomnia. Beginners can start this technique by inhaling through both nostrils, and then start creating the humming sound on the exhale.
Try inhaling for 4 seconds followed by an exhale of 6 seconds through both nostrils; this can be continued for about 5 minutes. Once you have mastered the humming sound on the exhalation, try adding the hum on the inhale as well. Creating the hum while inhaling is more challenging but certainly possible with practice.

Tips
Ramdev yoga techniques may be very new to your body and elicit startling responses at first. Pay attention to your body's cues while practicing. it is normal to feel a coolness or tingling sensation in the throat. However, the proportion of the breathing should never be forced. If you feel dizzy, discontinue the practice and return to a normal, relaxed breathing pattern.
