Ayurveda: The Art and Science of Herbal Application

Ayurveda: The Art and Science of Herbal Application

Dr Nambi Namboodiri

According to Ayurveda, the world is a pharmacy, and everything in it has the potential to be used as medicine. The key lies in understanding the properties of substances and how to apply them to achieve balance within the body. Here we discuss the core principles of Ayurvedic herbal application, emphasizing the importance of understanding dravya (substances) and their gunas (properties).

The Foundation: Dravya and Guna

Ayurveda views all substances, be they herbs, minerals, or animal products, as having inherent properties or gunas. Understanding these gunas is crucial for effective treatment. Dr. Nambi explains, “everything can be used as medicine, the only thing is that you should know how to use it."

These gunas are rooted in the five basic elements (Pancha Mahabhutas): earth, water, fire, air, and space. By understanding the elemental composition of substances, practitioners can choose the most appropriate remedies for individual needs.

The three doshas – Vata, Pitta, and Kapha – also have specific gunas.

  • Vata is described as light, rough, cool, dry, subtle, and mobile.

  • Pitta is oily, sharp, hot, light, and liquid.

  • Kapha is heavy, slow, cool, greasy, and immobile.

When selecting a substance to treat an imbalance, it is important to choose one with gunas that are opposite to the aggravated dosha. For instance, to reduce Kapha, one would use substances that are light, fast-acting, hot, non-greasy, and mobile.

The Three-Fold Approach

According to Ayurveda, any approach to treatment is done in three steps and in order of importance. The most important aspect is ahara (food), followed by vihara (lifestyle), and then aushadha (treatment). This highlights the emphasis on preventing disease by making healthy food and lifestyle choices.

The Five Properties of Herbs

Ayurvedic practitioners consider five properties when applying a herb or substance, known as rasapanchaka. These include:

  • Rasa (taste): There are six tastes: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, pungent, and astringent.

  • Guna (properties): The 20 gunas, such as hot, cold, heavy and light.

  • Virya (potency): Refers to the energetic effect of a substance, such as heating or cooling.

  • Vipaka (post-digestive effect): The effect a substance has after digestion.

  • Karma (action): The specific effect of a substance on the body.

By assessing these five properties, practitioners can select the correct herb to balance the doshas and promote healing.

The Application of Dravya

The application of dravya is known as dravya guna. Every substance in the world comes from the five basic elements, and they act on the body by either increasing or decreasing the presence of these elements within the body. The goal is to create balance, and this is achieved by understanding the qualities of a substance and using it in the right way.

Questions and Answers

  • How do you apply herbs to treat, looking into the properties of herbs?

    • According to Ayurveda, everything is made from the five basic elements, which have associated properties called gunas. Understanding these gunas, and how they relate to each other is the key to using herbs for treatment.

  • Can you clarify what the three-fold approach to treatment is?

    • Treatment is approached in three steps, and in order of importance: food, lifestyle, and treatment.

  • Question: Can you suggest a good oil for senior citizens and adults?

    • Dhanwantaram Thailam is generally suitable for all age groups. If looking to promote strength, Bala Aswaganndhadi Thailam can be used, but it is best to consult with a physician first.

Conclusion

Ayurveda's approach to herbal medicine is comprehensive. By understanding the properties of substances and how they interact with the body, practitioners can effectively address imbalances and promote overall well-being. The emphasis is on individualized treatment plans that take into account the specific needs and conditions of each person.

@dr.nambi_ayurveda

Dry scalp and frizzy hair, according to Ayurveda, happens when your kapha dosha drops and unbalances your scalp.

If you have dry hair and scalp, it is important to provide more continous nourishment to the scalp.

This is what the Hair Nourishing Elixir does. It is light-weight, non-greasy - with both dosha balancing and hourishing ingredients. It improves kapha, and provide all-day nourishment to your scalp. The elixir reduces dryness of the scalp and makes your hair feel smooth and stylish.

All shampoos, even the most natural ones, will upset kapha. Therefore, someone with an inclination for dry scalp or frizzy hair should immediately rebalance the scalp after shampooing.

If you have dry hair, you should use it overnight and won't need to wash it off with a shampoo. Also you can use it when travelling or in case you forget to sometimes use the Hair Growth Oil.

The Gentle Natural Shampoo

Shampooing after the oil is optional. But if you use a shampoo, use a mild one, like the Gentle Natural Shampoo. 

It's mild, low-foaming action gently cleans while ensuring your natural essential oils are not stripped away. Use about 5ml and wash your hair just like a normal shampoo. Rinse and repeat if needed.


The Hair Nourishing Elixir

The Hair Nourishing Elixir replenishes your natural oils and provides continuous nourishment. Add a few drops directly to the scalp, massage gently and spread over your hair.

The elixir is beneficial in three instances:

1. Most valuable for dry scalp or hair. Use overnight, for moisturizing nourishment. Since the Elixir is lightweight and non-greasy, you won't need wash your hair the next morning.

2. For all types of hair. Apply after shower when you hair is dry. This provides all-day nourishment and style.  

3. As a substitute for hair growth oil once in a while, for eg travelling or if you forgot to use the Two-Oils.


The shampoo and elixir provide the ideal post-oiling routine - and ensure you don't lose the benefit from the Two Oils.

Why is Ayushoveda a complete hair care system?

In order to be a complete long term solution for great hair – any routine has to do four critical things. 1) Improve scalp health, 2) provide deep nourishment, 3) reduce scalp imbalances and 4) provide all day nourishment & protection

  • The Two-Oils are perfect to remove scalp buildup, and dosha balance the scalp to make it healthier - so that Amla, Bhringaraj, etc can deep nourish the hair roots.

  • However, a bad shampoo will destroy all the benefits from the Two-Oils if a heavy foaming action strips all the natural nutrients from the scalp, lowers Kapha dramatically and causes heavy scalp imbalance. Hence a gentle, natural shapoo is critical – to wash the hair clean, and reduce such dosha imbalances.

  • After shampooing, just a few drops of the hair nourishing elixir will rebalance the scalp and provide all day nourishment, protection and style.

Because the Ayushoveda routine improves scalp health, provides deep nourishment and reduces ongoing scalp imbalances we call it a complete long term solution for great hear.

Why dosha balancing?

Ayurveda says that a healthy, dosha balanced scalp is essential for the hair to receive nourishment and grow healthy. And a healthy dosha balanced scalp solves all hair issues, including hair fall, thinning hair, dry or frizy hair.

However, the modern scalp is much more unhealthier (in Ayurvedic terms dosha imbalanced), than in your grandma’s days.

Higher Vata, Pitta and a volatile Kapha cause most of hair issues. And this imbalance causes hair roots to be weak, not get or even absorb the nourishment they need. This also makes hair strands go through their lifecycle and die faster, etc.

Most hair oils do not include herbs like Sariba, Manjishta, Vacha, Yasti, Aswagandha & Satavari etc. Dr Nambi specifically formulated the hair growth oil with these powerful dosha balancing herbs to reduce scalp imbalances. These herbs complement and make the hair growth ingredients such as Amla, Bhringaraj, Brahmi much more effective.

This unique combination of both hair nourishing and dosha balancing herbs are what makes the Two-Oils better than a single oil in improving your hair.

Two-Oils: The Ayurvedic Science

The root cause of poor hair quality, including hair fall, is dosha imbalance of the scalp – which makes your scalp unhealthy. This hair problem is called Khalitya in classical Ayurveda texts, and is to due to imbalanced Vata, Pitta and Kapha.

The Science of Dosha Balance™

Let's take Kapha dosha as an example. Kapha manages the nutrients on your scalp.

If Kapha dosha is too low, then there isn't enough nutrition reaching the hair roots. It behaves like a clogged pipe.

However, if Kapha dosha is too high, there is congestion. And that prevents nutrition from being absorbed by the hair roots. This behaves like a non-stick pan.

The result of this dosha imbalance is your hair roots are starved of nutrition - even if you provide the most nutritious oils, the hair roots simply cannot use it.

The dosha balancing, Two-Oil routine contains specific ingredients to balance the three doshas on your scalp – so nutrition can be effectively absorbed by hair roots.

A healthy balanced scalp = healthy roots & healthy hair.

With consistent use, the Two-Oils will improve scalp balance and health. And this will address issues like hair loss, and improve hair volume, shine & quality.

In my experience, an unhealthy scalp has two components

  • Clogging of hair follicles

  • Weak roots

First reaction to clogging is to use heavy foaming shampoos. Be patient. I’ll tell you why that is a bad idea.

Visible : Most common clogger is dandruff. Pollution and dust can cause grime which blocks the hair follicles - preventing nutrition absorbtion. 

Invisible : There are multiple studies that talk about scalp build-up or residue left by the chemical bases of hair care products. Many of the ‘so-called’ Ayurvedic shampoos and conditioners are actually extracts infused into chemical bases. Residue is invisible because they are so small, but large enough to clog follicles. 

So, is using heavy foaming shampoos to remove the clogging a good idea?

Why clean & prep scalp?

Today's scalp is not as healthy as in the past – such as when your grandma was using it. Dandruff, pollution, harsh water, chemical products, temperature fluctuations due to AC, dandruff etc creates unhealthy buildup on your scalp. This buildup is a barrier that prevents nourishment from reaching your hair roots.

Take farming as an example. A good farmer always prepares the field by tilling etc before planting the crops. This enables nutrition to reach the plant roots. But if the soil itself is unhealthy it doesn’t matter what you do, the plants will remain unhealthy. 

This is why just providing nutrition to the hair roots is not enough - one has to make sure the nutrition can reach the roots AND be absorbed. This is the optimal way to get to healthy, shiny hair - and reduce hair fall.

A healthy scalp can solve multiple types of hair issues – whether it is hair fall, thinning hair, dandruff/itchiness, dry/frizzy hair or damaged hair due to heat and chemical tratments.

Starter Kits - What to expect

The Two-Oil Starter kits last for about six weeks, with normal usage. In order to quantify the results, we surveyed around 400 people who used the Two-Oils consistently 3x weekly for a six week period. We received about 80 responses about their experience:

  • 80% reported that hair fall has reduced and 48% said reduced a lot.
  • 90% reported that scalp health (dandruff etc) has improved and 65% said improved a lot.
  • 85% reported that hair quality has improved and 50% said improved a lot.
  • 92% reported that the process (3x weekly and 45 minutes) was convenient and 50% said very convenient.
  • 26% even reported seeing new hair shoots growing - this is very good to hear! For most people new hair starts to show from 3-4 months.
After the six week period, you can maintain your hair health and continue to improve it with a 2x weekly routine. Best wishes in your hair care journey!

  • 80% reported that hair fall has reduced and 48% said reduced a lot.
  • 90% reported that scalp health (dandruff etc) has improved and 65% said improved a lot.
  • 85% reported that hair quality has improved and 50% said improved a lot.
  • 92% reported that the process (3x weekly and 45 minutes) was convenient and 50% said very convenient.
  • 26% even reported seeing new hair shoots growing - this is very good to hear! For most people new hair starts to show from 3-4 months.
After the six week period, you can maintain your hair health and continue to improve it with a 2x weekly routine. Best wishes in your hair care journey!
