Daily Vata-pacifying scalp oil.
other 100ml Bestseller hair fall
Daily Vata-pacifying scalp oil with Bhringaraja, Amalaki, Methika, and Jatamansi.
A balanced classical hair fall taila — sesame oil base with Bhringaraja for follicle stimulation, Amalaki for collagen support, Methika for shaft strength, and Jatamansi for stress-driven hair loss. Apply pre-bath, twice weekly.
The story
Hair fall (Khalitya) in the classical texts is not one condition but several: the Vata pattern (dry, brittle, breaking), the Pitta pattern (red, inflamed scalp with diffuse loss), and the Kapha pattern (oily scalp with hair loss along greasy lines). Maithra’s Hair Fall Control Oil is a balanced formulation that addresses all three patterns — leaning Vata-pacifying because that’s the dominant pattern in most hair loss after age 30.
The base is sesame oil; the actives include Bhringaraja, Amalaki, Methika, Jatamansi, and a touch of camphor for circulation.
How it works
- Bhringaraja: documented 5α-reductase inhibition, the same enzymatic pathway as finasteride
- Amalaki: high Vitamin C, supports collagen formation in the follicle
- Methika (fenugreek): protein-rich, strengthens the hair shaft
- Jatamansi: calming aromatic — reduces stress-driven hair loss
- Sesame oil base: deeply penetrates the scalp and softens accumulated sebum
The classical Sneha-paka cooking method (slow infusion at controlled temperature) extracts both the fat-soluble and water-soluble fractions of each herb into the oil — modern cold-pressed alternatives only capture the fat-soluble fraction.
How to use it
- Pre-bath application: warm 1 tablespoon, part the hair into sections, massage gently into scalp (not just lengths) for 5–7 minutes. Leave 30–45 minutes. Wash with a mild shampoo (Maithra’s Triphala-Reetha shampoo pairs well).
- Frequency: twice weekly for the first 90 days; once weekly for maintenance.
- For severe shedding: pair with internal Amalaki Rasayana (½ teaspoon Amla powder with warm milk daily).
Who it’s for
Hair fall driven by stress, post-illness, post-pregnancy (after 6 weeks), or early-stage androgenetic thinning. All hair types.
The honest part
Visible reduction in shedding appears at 8–12 weeks. Regrowth at 6–9 months. If your hair fall is patchy (alopecia areata pattern), or if you see scalp inflammation, please see a vaidya — those need different protocols. Pregnancy-safe externally.
