Hi I am doctor Shikha MD of NutriHealth Systems. Many people have written to us asking that
what is the cause of grey hair. And of course what is the remedy and what are the cures
possible for grey hair. So there are many causes for grey hair. In young people having
grey hair could be due to stress. Because sudden stress breaks down your immune reaction.
And due to that breakdown in that immunity the melanin pigments are attacked by immune
cells and therefore the discolouration or greyness starts. It could also be due to lack
of vital ingredients in your diet. Like for example folic acid, biotin, vitamin C, B12...
which cause grey hair. Third could be the deficiency of protein in your diet which could
cause grey hair also. And of course a lot of grey hair is also due to lack of oil in
the hair, lack of nourishment in the hair. And lot of people who use chemical colourants
or gels or reagents or harsh shampoos that also leads to breakdown of melanin and grey
hair. Now other reasons for grey hair could also be sun exposure. So if people are exposed
to sun for long period of time that leads to grey hair and it is very important to use
an umbrella or to use for example aloe vera juice and soak it overnight or you can leave
aloe vera juice in your hair and the next morning you can wash your hair. Because aloe
vera also protects the hair. Now some of the remedies which you could do for grey hair
is of course there is a diet portion and then there is a portion where you could apply some
of the oils. Now bhringraj oil is one of the very popular Ayurvedic oils which is specifically
for grey hair. And similarly Arnica. Arnica is an Indian herb. And you can use Arnica
either alone or you can use Arnica as a shampoo. Or you can even use Arnica put in oil. Which
could be like Castor oil or Olive oil or Til oil. But if you are using til oil it has to
be used only in winters and not in summers. So some of these remedies especially Bhringraj
and Arnica are traditional Indian remedies which are available as Arnica oil or Bhringraj
oil for hair. Which are also very cooling in nature and also lead to sort of a prevention
or you can say control of grey hair. So keep watching us and write into us at ask@drshikha.com
