Here are 6 ayurvedic remedies to fill the balding spot!

Fenugreek Seeds

Fenugreek Seeds

Works every time! Fenugreek seeds are packed with vitamin B6, minerals, iron and calcium which will infuse life back into dead hair follicles.

Grind fenugreek seeds into a fine paste. Apply it on the bald spot. Let it sit for an hour and then rinse your hair with a mild shampoo. Follow this method twice a week to see quick results.

Thyme Oil

Thyme Oil

Thyme oil contains thymol and antiseptic properties that boost blood circulation, stimulate hair growth and reduce dandruff.

Take a few drops of thyme oil onto your palm. Rub your palms together for several seconds to warm the oil. Now gently massage onto your scalp, focusing more on the balding spot. Using a boar bristle brush, comb your hair to disperse the oil evenly.

Saffron

Saffron

Ample amounts of antioxidants present in saffron repair hair follicles and promote hair growth.

Mix a pinch of saffron with 4 teaspoons of milk and 1 tablespoon of liquorice. Mix until it gets a smooth consistency. Apply the paste on the balding spot. Leave it on overnight. Wash it off in the morning.

Radish Juice

Radish Juice

Radish juice is packed with vitamins A, C and K, which makes for powerful antioxidants that strengthen the roots of hair from within and stimulate hair growth.

Extract the juice of a black radish and apply it to the balding spot. Massage the area, until you feel the skin become slightly warm.

Camphor Oil

Camphor Oil

Camphor has natural anti-septic and anti-bacterial properties that work to maintain a healthy scalp condition, which in turn promotes hair growth.
