I’m often asked about the secret tips for my long hair. Firstly, I’d like to thank my genetics, as it decides how long your hair will grow, no matter how much you try. However, that’s not the whole story! In this blog, I’ll share six tips that I follow to achieve my long hair goals. Tips for long hair Here they are. Nourishing from the inside out The first thing I do is focus on my diet. I opt for easily digestible foods to maintain good digestion and elimination. What we eat can significantly impact hair health. Choosing easily digestible foods is a great start. A well-functioning digestive system ensures your body can absorb essential nutrients for healthy hair growth. Handling with care I always try to be gentle while handling my hair, especially while drying it after washing and detangling. Treating your hair gently is crucial, especially when it’s wet, as it is more delicate and prone to damage. Avoid aggressively rubbing your hair to dry it. Instead, use a soft towel and gently blot out the excess water. Trimming the ends I make sure to trim the ends of my hair once a month without fail. This helps remove split ends and promotes healthier, faster hair growth. Keeping the scalp clean I wash my hair 2-3 times a week. Daily washing can strip your hair of its natural oils, leading to dryness and breakage. It is essential to maintain a clean scalp; consequently, this allows your hair follicles to breathe, thereby promoting better growth. Using hair oil and hair scrub Another thing I do to maintain my hair health is using hair oil and hair scrub before every wash. Before washing my hair, I always apply Dr. Rekha Ayurvedic Hair Oil, which contains all-natural ingredients that nourish the scalp and boost hair growth. I also use Dr. Rekha Ayurvedic Hair Scrub to exfoliate my scalp. The ingredients in the scrub help maintain hair and scalp health, control hair fall, exfoliate the scalp, and rejuvenate hair, scalp, and skin. Braiding hair before sleep If you are from India, you might be familiar with your mother asking you to braid your hair before you sleep. Braiding not only prevents tangling but also minimizes damage caused by rubbing against your pillowcase. Remember to make loose braids, as tying your hair tightly can affect your hair health. Remember, patience is key when working toward your long hair goals. Results won’t happen overnight, but with consistent care and attention, you’ll be on your way to achieving your dream hair length.

Do you always have neck pain when your head is forward, neck slumped and shoulders slouched and rounded as you scroll through your phone? If yes, this is the text neck position. Text neck position is, in fact, the result of spending long hours hunched over your screens. When you tilt your heads forward to look at your devices, you put extra stress on your neck muscles and spine. Which causes neck pain. And if this continues, you will soon say “hi” to aches and pains around your neck and shoulders. In the long run, it can even cause tightness and compression of the neck muscles, ligaments and tendons. Further, it can even change the curvature of your spine. Now that you are aware, there are a few things that you can do to fix this. Tips to fix text neck position Here are three things that have worked for me.

But that is the most ideal position. It is also very important to keep your ears in line with your shoulders. Counter-pose exercise If you have done Yogasanas you may know that for every pose, there is a counter pose to balance it. Here is one such counter-pose exercise to fix your text neck position: Breathe Bring your head further back a little Open your mouth Slowly close your mouth bringing your lower jaw to your upper jaw You can now, as a result, feel a slight stretch on the front of your neck. Repeat this exercise a few times. Routine for quick relief Try this routine to provide instant relief to a tired neck after hours of using the phone: Interlace your fingers Grip the back of the neck with it Press the neck and look up and then down Do this 3-4 times This works, trust me! Bonus tip: Yogasanas like dhanurasana, padahastasana, and adho mukha shwanansana can also help fix the text neck position. Text neck position is a modern problem that can affect anyone who spends a lot of time on their smartphone or other digital devices. But by using the above-mentioned tips, you can protect your necks and enjoy your digital world without pain and discomfort.

Iron is an essential mineral that plays a vital role in the body’s overall health. It is crucial for the formation of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen to our cells, as well as for maintaining energy levels and supporting the immune system. Low iron levels can lead to anemia, leaving you feeling tired and weak. Iron deficiency occurs when your body does not have enough iron to meet its needs. This deficiency can arise from various factors, such as insufficient dietary intake, poor iron absorption, blood loss and certain medical conditions. Boost Your Iron Levels in Ayurvedic Way In Ayurveda, low haemoglobin levels is called Pandu. The literal meaning of Pandu in Sanskrit is pale whitish discolouration. Pandu is a disease caused due to vitiation of ‘Rakta Dhatu’ (blood tissue) in the body. The best way to avoid the condition is to improve its levels. Here are some natural tips to boost your iron levels as per Caraka Samhita: Amla Incorporating a shot of amla or amla powder into your daily diet is extremely beneficial. Having a teaspoon of amla with ghee before lunch can help. Dry ginger Including dry ginger into your diet in one form or another can also help. Black raisins Consuming soaked black resins is an excellent way to get iron into your diet.
