Baldness

What is baldness?

When hair after falling does not grow back, it is called baldness.  Male baldness usually begins with thinning at the hairline, followed by the appearance of a bald spot on the crown of the head.

Women rarely develop bald patches.  Instead, they experience a diffused thinning of their hair.

Causes

Baldness is caused by a mix of genetics and hormones that we have a very little control on.  The actual reason for baldness is still quite a mystery.

Symptoms

Thinning or shedding of hair, breaking of hair, patchy bald areas (alopecia areata – an immune disorder causing temporary hair loss).

Remedy (Nuskhe)

  • Grind the remains of tobacco smoked in a hookah and add to boiling mustard oil.  Cool and store.  Massage on the bald patches regularly.
  • Grind liquorice root pieces (mulati).  Add 1 tablespoon of this powder in 1 cup milk with ¼ teaspoon saffron (kesar).  Apply this paste on bald patches at bedtime.
Grind fenugreek seeds with water and apply on head.  Leave for at least 40 minutes before washing.  Do it every morning for a month.
