Premature graying of hair
Graying of hair is a natural process that happens with
increasing age, but if the hair starts graying before
the age of 35, it is termed as premature graying that
occurs due to the aggravation of Pitta dosha. Excessive
intake of tea, coffee, alcohol, meat, fried, oily, greasy,
spicy, sour, and acidic foods increases pitta and leads
to graying prematurely.
Remedies
Apply a paste made from 2-Tsp. henna powder, 1-tsp.
curd, 1-tsp. fenugreek seed powder, 1 tbsp. coffee,
2-tbsp. mint juice and 2-tbsp. basil juice. Apply this
paste to the hair for two hours. For a darker color,
leave this paste in for 3 to 4 hours. Wash hair with
any natural shampoo.
Grate some fresh ginger. Mix with honey and place it
in a jar. Eat 1 tea spoon everyday. |

Kill
lice
Mix a 50:50 solution
of mineral oil, such as baby oil, and vinegar. Massage
it into the hair and cover for 1 hour with a shower
cap then wash with ordinary shampoo. The vinegar detaches
the nits or eggs, from the hair shaft and the oil suffocates
any live lice and allows easy and smooth combing out
of deceased lice.
