Healthy Hair Begins at the Root — Literally!
Whether you're dealing with dryness, hair thinning, breakage, or simply looking to maintain your crown in its healthiest state, Ayurveda has a time-tested answer: regular hair oiling!
As an Ayurvedic Health Counsellor, I always return to this ancient yet simple ritual because it works — not only for restoring hair health, but also for calming the mind and nourishing the scalp from a deeper place.
Here are 4 reasons to bring Ayurvedic hair oiling into your self-care routine:
1. Deeply Nourishes and Strengthens the Hair
Ayurvedic oils are traditionally infused with herbs like Gotu Kola (like in my brand!) Brahmi, Amla, or Neem, which are known to strengthen hair follicles and encourage healthy growth. When massaged into the scalp, the oil penetrates deeply, delivering nutrients directly where they’re needed most.
💡 Tip: Warm the oil slightly before use to enhance absorption.
2. Balances the Scalp and Calms the Nervous System
In Ayurveda, the scalp is more than just skin — it’s a vital marma point (energy center). A soothing scalp massage with herbal oil helps balance Vata and Pitta doshas, calming the mind, improving sleep, and even supporting focus. Many of my clients report less stress and better sleep after making this a weekly habit or having a hair and scalp add-on treatment during an Ayurveda warm oil massage with me. (It’s divine!

3. Encourages Healthy Hair Growth Naturally
Dryness, dandruff, and premature graying often stem from an aggravated dosha or lack of nourishment at the root level. Regular oiling supports circulation to the scalp, clears buildup, and rehydrates dry strands — all of which promote stronger, thicker, healthier hair over time.
4. Creates a Sacred Self-Care Ritual
Beyond the physical, Ayurvedic hair oiling reconnects you to your body and breath. It’s an act of DEEP self-love rooted in centuries of wisdom. Whether done once a week or a few times a month, this practice gives your body a message: “You are worthy of care.”
