Try triphala churna to prevent premature greying of hair

Rather than finding ways to deal with grey hair or trying to mask it with henna or colour, go natural! Although it is quite common in elderly, greying of hair is increasingly seen in young kids and adults below 30 years of age. So before it's too late and you opt for permanent hair colouring solutions to fight premature greying of hair, try triphala churna. How does it help? Triphala is an Ayurvedic herb that comprises of three common herbs namely harad, amla and behada. Loaded with vitamin C, this churna acts as a powerful antioxidant which helps in flushing out the free radicals and thereby hindering with the hair growth. One of the key reason for greying of hair is deficiency of minerals and hormonal problems. This churna has minerals like iron and potassium that not only aids in promoting hair growth but also helps in preventing hair fall and premature greying of hair. Moreover, triphala churna detoxifies the body and increases blood flow to the head and root of the hair follicle, preventing hair fall [1].
