Chikungunya: Ayurvedic Management, Signs, Symptoms, and Diet Recommendations

Introduction:

Chikungunya is a viral infection transmitted by mosquitoes, primarily the *Aedes aegypti* and *Aedes albopictus* species. This disease is prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions, and outbreaks have been reported across Africa, Asia, and India. Though rarely fatal, chikungunya can cause severe discomfort due to its hallmark symptom of joint pain.

In Ayurveda, chikungunya is seen as an imbalance in the body’s dosha (Vaata, Pitta, and Kapha) caused by the invasion of external pathogens. Ayurvedic treatments aim to manage symptoms and restore balance through natural remedies, diet, and lifestyle modifications.

In this blog, we’ll explore the signs and symptoms of chikungunya, the Ayurvedic perspective on the disease, effective Ayurvedic treatments, and dietary recommendations for managing it.

Signs and Symptoms of Chikungunya:

Chikungunya has a rapid onset of symptoms, which typically appear 4 to 8 days after being bitten by an infected mosquito. The most common signs and symptoms include:

  1. Fever: Sudden onset of high fever, often exceeding 102°F (39°C), which may last several days.
  2. Joint Pain (Arthralgia): Intense joint pain that may persist for weeks or months after the initial infection. It most commonly affects the wrists, ankles, and knees.
  3. Muscle Pain: Myalgia or muscle pain is common and often accompanies joint pain.
  4. Skin Rash: A maculopapular rash (red spots) may appear on the trunk, limbs, or face. The rash typically lasts for a few days.
  5. Fatigue: Weakness and fatigue are common symptoms that can linger even after the fever has subsided.
  6. Headache: Severe headaches, often located around the forehead, are frequently reported.
  7. Nausea and Vomiting: Some individuals may experience gastrointestinal issues like nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.

 

While these symptoms can be extremely uncomfortable, chikungunya is generally not life-threatening. However, lingering joint pain can significantly affect a person’s quality of life, leading to a need for holistic and effective treatment options.

 

Blood Investigations for Chikungunya:

CBC or Heamogram

ESR

ELISA

can be advised to ruled out chikungunya.

Ayurvedic View of Chikungunya

In Ayurveda, chikungunya can be understood as a condition resulting from the aggravation of Vaata and Pitta dosha. The viral infection disrupts the balance of these doshas, leading to fever (Pitta imbalance) and joint pain (Vaata imbalance). The disease can be compared to “Sandhi-gata -jwara,” or “Sandhik Sannipaat” a type of fever that affects the joints and muscles, often linked to seasonal and environmental factors, such as exposure to external pathogens.

 

Ayurveda focuses on strengthening the immune system (Vyadhikshamatva) and balancing the aggravated dosha while eliminating toxins (aama) from the body.

 

Ayurvedic Management of Chikungunya

A) Herbal Remedies:

  1. Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia): Guduchi is a powerful immune booster that helps manage fever and detoxifies the body. It helps restore balance in both Vaata and Pitta dosha.
  2. Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum): Tulsi is revered in Ayurveda for its antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and immune-enhancing properties. It is beneficial in reducing fever and respiratory discomfort.
  3. Shunthi (Dry Ginger): Shunthi helps in improving digestion, reducing nausea, and alleviating joint pain caused by Vaata imbalance.
  4. Shallaki (Boswellia serrata): An excellent herb for managing chronic inflammation and joint pain.

 

B) Ayurvedic Formulations:

  1. Mahasudarshan Churna: This herbal powder is traditionally used for managing fevers and viral infections. It helps detoxify the body and supports the immune system.
  2. Amritarishta: A liquid formulation that helps manage fever and strengthens the immune system, balancing Pitta and promoting recovery from infections.
  3. Rasna Saptak Kwath: An Ayurvedic decoction specifically formulated to manage joint pain and swelling, making it useful for chikungunya-induced arthralgia.
  4. Dashamularishtha: An ayurvedic decoctions formulated for vaata disorder management that can be used in Chikungunya pain management.

All medicines are advised to be consumed after medical advice only.

 

C) Dietary Recommendations for Managing Chikungunya

Diet plays a crucial role in both recovery and prevention of chikungunya. During the illness, it’s important to eat foods that balance Vaata and Pitta dosha while promoting easy digestion and immune function.

Do’s:

– Warm, Nourishing Foods: Opt for light, easily digestible meals like khichdi, soups, and broths. These help balance Vaata and Pitta while providing energy for recovery.

– Fresh Vegetables: Include cooked leafy green beans, carrots, pumpkin, and other vegetables that are easy to digest. Avoid raw foods during the recovery phase, as they are harder to digest and can aggravate Vaata.

– Herbal Teas: Drink herbal teas made from Tulsi, ginger, and turmeric to boost immunity, reduce inflammation, and improve digestion.

– Hydration: Stay hydrated with warm water or coconut water. It helps flush out toxins and supports overall healing.

– Ghee: Use ghee in moderate quantities to lubricate the body internally and balance Vaata.

Don’ts:

– Avoid Spicy and Oily Foods: Spicy, fried, or overly greasy foods can aggravate Pitta and slow down digestion, leading to aama (toxins) buildup.

– Cold Foods: Cold drinks, ice creams, and refrigerated foods should be avoided as they can disturb the digestive fire (Agni) and aggravate Vaata.

– Heavy Foods: Avoid meat, excessive dairy, and hard-to-digest food items like pizza or processed snacks, as they can create toxins and impair recovery.

– Caffeine and Alcohol: These can dehydrate the body and aggravate Pitta, leading to inflammation and slower recovery.

Do’s and Don’ts in Ayurveda for Chikungunya Recovery

Do’s:

  1. Take adequate rest to allow the body to recover.
  2. Practice gentle yoga and breathing exercises like Pranayama to strengthen the immune system and enhance circulation.
  3. Use warm water for bathing and drink warm herbal infusions.
  4. Oil Massage (Abhyanga): Massage the body with warm oils like sesame or mustard to improve joint mobility. Medicated oils like Mahanarayan oil or Dhanwantharam oil for gentle massage help soothe joint pain and reduce stiffness caused by Vata imbalance. This therapy not only alleviates pain but also improves blood circulation and muscle flexibility.
  5. Panchakarma Therapy:
  • Snehana (Oleation Therapy): Internal and external use of medicated oils can help lubricate the joints and alleviate pain. (Only if there is no swelling)
  • Swedana (Steam Therapy): This treatment helps reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and relax muscles, relieving joint pain and stiffness.
  • Virechana (Therapeutic Purgation): This detoxification therapy is used to eliminate excess Pitta from the body, helping manage fever and inflammation.
  • Basti (Medicated Enema): Vaata-balancing Basti treatments can alleviate chronic joint pain by nourishing and detoxifying the lower gastrointestinal tract.

All the Panchakarma therapies have to be done only after a doctor’s recommendation.

Don’ts:

  • Do not skip meals or consume cold, stale, or processed foods.
  • Refrain from exposure to cold drafts or air conditioning, as it may aggravate joint pain and Vaata dosha.
  • Avoid daytime naps, which can impair digestion and slow recovery.

Say Goodbye to Varicose Veins with Ayurvedic Treatments

Introduction: Understanding Varicose Veins

Varicose veins are a common vascular condition of veins characterized by enlarged, prominent, twisting of it that often appear blue or purple. While they can occur anywhere in the body, they most commonly affect the legs and feet. In Ayurveda, a varicose vein is understood as a disorder of Vata dosha, leading to weakened blood vessels and impaired circulation.

In this blog explores the Ayurvedic perspective on varicose veins, including their causes, traditional treatments, and dietary recommendations for optimal vein health.

 

Ayurvedic View of Varicose Veins

According to Ayurveda, varicose veins result from an imbalance in Vata dosha, the energy that governs movement and circulation in the body. When Vata becomes aggravated, it can cause the veins to lose their elasticity and become swollen and twisted. Other doshas, particularly Pitta and Kapha, may also play a role in exacerbating this condition. Ayurvedic treatment focuses on balancing the doshas, strengthening the veins, and improving circulation to alleviate symptoms and prevent further complications.

 

Causes of Varicose Veins in Ayurveda

  • Sedentary Lifestyle: Lack of physical activity can lead to poor circulation and weaken the veins over time.
  • Prolonged Standing or Sitting: Jobs or activities that involve long periods of standing or sitting can increase pressure on the veins and contribute to varicose veins.
  • Genetic Predisposition: A family history of varicose veins may increase the likelihood of developing the condition.
  • Imbalanced Diet: Consuming excessive spicy, oily, and heavy foods can aggravate Vata and contribute to circulatory issues.
  • Chronic Constipation: Straining during bowel movements can put pressure on the veins in the abdomen and lower body.
  • Age: Sometimes age is a factor for developing varicose veins in people. As we age the body loses its tensile fibers and collagen that keeps skin tight. This results in loosening of skin and ultimately results in varicose veins.

Ayurvedic Treatment for Varicose Veins

Ayurveda focuses on individual dosha and prakruti for better results and recovery. The herbal remedies mentioned in the description are for the sake of knowledge please consult your Ayurvedic doctor for the medication.

  • Herbal Remedies: Ayurvedic herbs like Triphala, Guggulu, and Rasna, Erandamula, Dashamoola are commonly used to improve circulation, strengthen veins, and reduce inflammation.
  • External Applications:  Local application of herbal pastes or oils that contain ingredients like neem, turmeric, and dasmoola can help reduce swelling and discomfort in the muscles and ultimately affect varicose veins.
  • Dietary Modifications: Emphasize foods that pacify Vata dosha and support healthy circulation, such as warm, nourishing soups, cooked vegetables, whole grains, and herbal teas.
  • Lifestyle Changes:  Incorporate regular exercise, particularly gentle activities like walking, swimming, and yoga, to improve circulation and strengthen the muscles surrounding the veins.

Panchakarma Treatment for Varicose Veins:

Panchakarma, the traditional Ayurvedic detoxification therapy can be beneficial in managing varicose veins by removing toxins, balancing the doshas, and promoting overall health. Specific Panchakarma treatments that may be recommended include:

  • Abhyanga (Ayurvedic Oil Massage):  Regular oil massage improves circulation, reduces inflammation, and nourishes the skin and tissues. Ayurvedic medicated oils such as Mahanarayan Tailam, and Dashamoola Tail seem beneficial in treating a massaging the varicose veins.
  • Swedana: The process of ayurvedic fomentation helps to relax the muscles of thighs and calves and relieves the pain and discomfort in the veins which are prominent due to varicose veins.  For this Churna pottali massage is preferred for the treatment. The churn or powder reduces the swelling reduces discomfort and helps to strengthen them.
  • Virechana (Therapeutic Purgation):  To detoxify the blood and balance Pitta dosha Virechana is done in varicose veins patients.
  • Basti (Enema Therapy):  As we have seen varicose veins are a disorder of vaata dosha. So the Basti treatments with medicated oils or decoctions can help alleviate Vata imbalances and strengthen the veins. It also nourishes and strengthens the veins.

Ayurvedic Diet for Varicose Veins: Do’s and Don’ts

  • Do’s:

Embrace a diet rich in fiber, antioxidants, and nutrients to support vein health.

Include fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes in your meals.

Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water to promote circulation.

Consume foods that are cooling and nourishing, such as ghee, and coconut.

  • Don’ts:

Avoid spicy, oily, and heavy foods that can aggravate Vata and impair circulation.

Limit caffeine and alcohol intake, as they can dehydrate the body and worsen varicose veins symptoms.

Reduce intake of salty and processed foods, as excess sodium can contribute to fluid retention and swelling.

Minimize consumption of red meat and fried foods, which can increase inflammation and exacerbate varicose veins.

Conclusion: Nurturing Vein Health with Ayurveda

Varicose veins can be a source of discomfort and concern, but with the holistic approach of Ayurveda, there are natural methods to manage and alleviate symptoms. By addressing the root causes of varicose veins, balancing the doshas, and adopting a supportive diet and lifestyle, individuals can promote healthy circulation, strengthen vein integrity, and experience relief from this common vascular condition.

गुढी पाडवा आणि आयुर्वेद :

आज चैत्र शुद्ध प्रतिपदा म्हणजेच गुढी पाडवा. मराठी आणि हिंदू नवीन वर्षाचा पहिला दिवस. असं म्हटल्या जाते की आजच्या दिवसशी ब्रह्म देवांनी सृष्टी उत्पत्ति केली होती आणि आजच्या शलिवाहनांनी शकांवर विजय मिळवला होता. आज आपण गुढी उभारुन त्याची ब्रह्मध्वज म्हणून पुजा करतो आणि नवीन वर्षाची सुरुवात करतो.

पण याचे अजून देखील खूप मोठे महत्व आयुर्वेद शास्त्रात आहे. वाग्भट संहितेनुसार चैत्र आणि वैशाख हे दोन महीने वसंत ऋतुचे असतात असे संगितले आहे. त्यामुळे ढोबळ मनाने जर बघायला गेले तर आज पासून वसंत ऋतुची सुरुवात होते.

ऋतुसंबंध आणि आयुर्वेद :

वसंत ऋतु हा इतर ऋतु प्रमाणे शरीरात वेगवेगळे बदल घडवून आणतो.  वसंत ऋतूमध्ये शिशिर ऋतूमध्ये साठलेला  कफ दोष हा उन्हाच्या उष्णतेने वितळायला सुरुवात होते .  त्यामुळे या काळात विविध कफचे आजार होण्याची दाट शक्यता असते.  त्यासाठी त्या विकृत कफाचे निर्हरन करण्यासाठी या ऋतुमध्ये वासंतिक वमन हे केले जाते.

गुढी पाडवा आणि आयुर्वेद संबंध :

पण हे सर्व झाले ते वसंत ऋतु आणि आयुर्वेदाबद्दल, त्यात आजच्या म्हणजे गुढी पाडव्याचा काय संबंध?? सांगतो!! आज गुढी उभारतांना काय काय वस्तु लागतात?

वेताची काठी, नवीन वस्त्र, चफ्यांच्या फुलांची माळ , साखरेची माळ किंवा गाठी, कडू निंबपाला, आंब्याची पाने आणि तांब्याचा गडवा किंवा लोटा. याचा आयुर्वेदाशी कसा संबंध ते बघूया..

वेताची काठी : ही वंश म्हणजेच बांबु सारखी दिसणारी पण नारळाच्या वर्गातील वनस्पति आहे. हिला बुंध्यावरती काटे असून लांब थोडे अरुंद असे पान असतात.  ही वनस्पति भरीव असून  स्वरक्षणासाठी वापरीली जाते.

चाफा : ही वनस्पति कफ शामक, पित्त शामक आणि वात शामक एकूण त्रिदोष शामक आहे. तसेच याचे विशेष प्रभाव रक्त धातुवर आहे. त्यामुळे ही दाह म्हणजे आग कमी करणारी आहे.

साखरेची माळ: साखर ही मधुर रस म्हणजे चवीला गोड, विपाक म्हणजे पचल्यवर गोड स्वरूप होणारी आणि तिचा वीर्य कार्य शक्ति ही शीत म्हणजे थंड आहे. गूळ हा साधारण साखरेच्या तुलनेत गरम असतो. त्यामुळे यापुढे उन्हाळयात गुळाएवजी साखर वापरली जाते.

निंब पाला : निंब ही कडू रस आणि शीत वीर्य अशी वनस्पति आहे. निंबाचा कोवळा पाला हा किंचित कडू आणि तुरट रस असतो. त्यामुळे तो कफ शामक आणि उष्णतेपासून संरक्षण करणारा आहे. तसेच कृमी म्हणजे जंत, जखम यांना भरुन काढणारा, दाह म्हणजे शरीराची आग कमी करणारा, विविध त्वचा विकारांवर उपयोगी असा आहे.

आंब्याची पाने : आंब्याची पाने ही मंगल कारक आणि शुभ मानली जातात. अंबायची पाने ही व्रणरोपक म्हणजे जखम भरुन आणणारे आणि रक्त धातुवर कार्य करणारे आहे. तसेच कोवळे आंब्याची पाने ही  स्तंभक म्हणजे शरीरातून अतिरिक्त प्रमाणात बाहेर पडणार्‍या द्रव्यांना थांबवतात.  याचा उपयोग फांट स्वरुपात औषद्धांमध्ये केला जातो.

निष्कर्ष :

अशा प्रकारे हे सर्व द्रव्य आयुर्वेद वनस्पति उपयोगी असून येणारा ऋतु क्रमामध्ये वापरली जाते. त्यामुळे त्यांचा उपयोग हा विविध सण उत्सवात वापरुन त्यांचे महत्व जपले जाते.

आपल्या सर्वांना चैत्र पाडवा (गुढी पाडवा) आणि नवीन वर्षाच्या हार्दिक शुभेचा !!

चेहर्‍यावरील मुरुम आणि पुटकळ्यांसाठी आयुर्वेदिक उपचार

चेहरा हा सौंदर्याचा एक प्रतीक आणि अभिव्यक्तीचं स्थान आहे. चेहरा तुमचे आरोग्य आणि पाचन तंत्र याचा देखील समर्पक असा विश्लेषण करुन देणारा आहे. त्यामुळे कुठलाही आजार झाल्यावर त्याचे पडसाद हे चेहर्‍यावर दिसून येतात. जसे की थकवा असल्यास चेहराम्लान दिसतो.  त्यमुळे चेहर्‍यवार कुठलेही डाग किंवा मुरुम पुटकळया हा लोकांना काळजीचा विषय होतो. कारण त्यामुळे त्यांना कुठे तरी आत्मविश्वास कमी झालेला वाटतो.  आणि प्रत्येक व्यक्तिला आयुष्यात कधी तरी मुरुम पुटकूळ्या यांनी भेदावलेले असते.

मुरुम किंवा पुटकूळ्या प्रामुख्याने पौगंडावस्थेत चेर्‍यावर येतात आणि कालांतराने त्यांचे प्रमाण कमी होते. पण काही चुकीच्या खान-पान च्या सवयींमुळे त्यांचे प्रमाण कमी न होता वाढते व त्यांचे एक त्वचा विकारात रूपांतर होते. आधुनिक औषध शस्त्रानुसार त्यावर काही अॅंटीबायोटिक्स आणि आणि चेहर्‍याला लावला क्रीम सांगितल्या जातात; ज्यांचा ठराविक काळपुरता परिणाम दिसून येतो. मात्र आयुर्वेदानुसार  मुरुम किंवा पुटकूळ्या यांची चिकित्सा करतांना सर्वांगीण गोष्टींचा विचार करुन केली जाते. या लेखामध्ये आपण मुरुम आणि  पुटकूळ्या उत्पन्न होण्याची कारणे, त्यांचे आयुर्वेदिक आणि पंचकर्म उपचार, तसेच योग्य असा आहार आपण बघणार आहोत.

 परिचय :

मुरुम आणि  पुटकूळ्या या साधारणपणे पौगंडावस्थेत चेर्‍यावर येण्यास सुरुवात होते  आणि कालांतराने त्यांचे प्रमाण कमी होते. काही अवस्थेत यावर योग्य असे औषध उपचार घ्यावे लागतात. हे प्रामुख्याने त्वचाविकार असण्याची शक्यता असते.  प्रौढावस्थेत याचे करणे हॉर्मोन्स, मानसिक ताण  आणि त्वचेची अयोग्य काळजी न घेणे यामुळे जास्त प्रमाणात होतात.

आयुर्वेदिक मत :

आधी सांगितल्या प्रमाणे, चेहरा तुमचे आरोग्य आणि पाचन तंत्र याचा देखील समर्पक असा विश्लेषण करुन देणारा आहे. त्यामुळे कुठलाही आजार झाल्यावर त्याचे पडसाद हे चेहर्‍यावर दिसून येतात.  याचे कारण असे की चेहरा हा रस, रक्त, मांस आणि शुक्र धातु यांचे स्थान आहे. आणि याच धातूंमध्ये दोष म्हणजे वात , पित्त आणि कफ यांचा प्रादुर्भाव वाढला की मुरूम आणि पुटकुळ्या निर्माण होतात.

 

चेहर्‍यावरील मुरुम आणि पुटकळ्या येण्याची कारणे :

  • होर्मोन्स मध्ये होणारे बदल

केशपतन आजच्या धावपळीच्या जगात एक सामान्य तक्रार झालेली आहे. काही तुम्ही सुद्धा ह्याने हैराण झालेले आहेत का? त्या थांबवण्यासाठी आणि केशांची वाढ निरोगी तसेच लांब घनदाट केसांसाठी काही आयुर्वेदिक पूर्णतः नैसर्गिक उपचार शोधत आहेत का? तर तुमच्या या केसांच्या तक्रारींसाठी आयुर्वेद शास्त्रकडे अनुभूत आणि खात्रीशीर असे उपाय आहेत. या लेख मध्ये आपण केस गळण्याचे कारण, त्यांचे आयुर्वेदिक निदान आणि चिकित्सा पाहणार आहोत.

केसपतन सामान्य दृष्टीकोण :

काही वर्षांपूर्वी झालेल्या एक संशोधनात असे आढळून आले आहे की एक सर्व सामान्य माणसांमध्ये दरदिवशी किमान 100 केस हे गळतात कमी जास्त प्रमाणात व ते नंतर नवीन येणार्‍या केसांनी बदलले जातात. मात्र त्या पेक्षा जास्त केश गळणे व नवीन केश तयार न होणे हि एक आरोग्याची तक्रार व चिंतेची बाब असू शकते.

केश पतन आणि आयुर्वेद दृष्टीकोण :

आयुर्वेदानुसार केश हा अस्थि धातूचा उपधातू आणी मज्जा धातूचा मल स्वरुपात उत्पन्न होतो. तसेच त्याचा पोषणामध्ये  रस धातु आणि रक्त धातु हे महत्वाची भूमिका पार पडतात.   त्रिदोष दुष्टि या सर्व गोष्टीस बाधा उत्पन्न करते. वात दोष रौक्ष्य उत्पन्न करुन केश गळण्यास कारण ठरतो. तर कफ आणि वात संयोग हा केश कुप बंद करुन नवीन उत्पन्न होणार्‍या केश वाढी मध्ये अडथळा करतो.

केस गळण्याची कारणे आयुर्वेद शास्त्रानुसार :

  • रात्री जागरण
  • अवेळी जेवण
  • पोटाचे आजार जसे की एसिडिटी, अल्सर, IBS
  • मद्यपान
  • धूम्रपान
  • अति प्रमाणात पित्तावर्धक आहाराचे सेवन
  • अति राग किंवा चिडचिड
  • मानसिक ताण आणि तणाव
  • पूर्वीचे जुने आजार जसे ताप, टायफाईड, गोवर, कांजण्या इत्यादि

इतर काही महत्वाची केस गळतीची कारणे :

  • B 12 जीवनसत्व कमतरता
  • D जीवनसत्व कमतरता
  • रक्ताची कमतरता

केसांची गळती कमी होण्यासाठी आयुर्वेदिक चिकित्सा:

केसगळती तक्रार कमी करताना आयुर्वेदानुसार त्याचा मुळाशी जाऊन कारणे शोधून त्याचे निवारण करुन चिकित्सा केली जाते. केसगळतीची आयुर्वेद चिकित्सा करताना आहार – विहार सुधारणे, तसेच योग्य पथ्य पालन करणे, तसेच आयुर्वेदिक औषधे आणि पंचकर्म उफार यांचा संपूर्ण एक सूत्रीपणाने काम केले जाते. या सोबतच केस लांब घनदाट वाढीसाठी विविध तेल लावणे हा सुद्धा एक उत्तम उपाय आहे.

 

केसांची गळती कमी होण्यासाठी आयुर्वेदिक उपाय :

  1. सकाळी अनुषापोटी अर्धा चमचा च्यवनप्राश खाणे
  2. अर्धा चमचा आवळा पावडर मधासह दिवसातून 2 वेळा घेणे
  3. जर मानसिक ताण आणि तणावमुळे केस गाळत असतील तर ब्राह्मी चूर्ण 250 मिलिग्राम मध किंवा पाण्यासह दिवसातून 2 वेळा घेणे
  4. केसांची वाढ होण्यासाठी अस्थिपोषक वटी 1-1 गोळी दिवसातून दोन वेळा घेणे.
  5. नारसिंह रसायन अर्धा चमचा सकाळी अनुषापोटी घेणे

बस्ति हा केसांच्या समस्यांवर एक रामबाण उपाय आहे. बस्ति हा प्रामुख्याने वाताच्या प्रधान स्थान असणार्‍या पक्वाशयावर कार्य करतो त्यामुळे वात शमन होऊन केसांचे आरोग्य अबाधित राहते.

नस्य ही एक शामक स्वरुपात केस विकारांमध्ये वापरली जाते. नाकामध्ये योग्य असे तेल किंवा तूप सोडल्यामुळे थेट शिरामध्ये असणार्‍या केसांच्या मुळांवर कार्य करते आणि त्यांची वाढ होण्यास मदत करते.
