Natural Ways to Regrow Thinning Hair

Excessive hair on your pillow or hairbrush can indicate hair loss. Alopecia, as it is clinically termed, is a frequent disease among both men and women nowadays. Genetics is one of the most common causes of receding hairline.
Androgenetic alopecia, often known as male or female pattern baldness, is an inheritable condition that causes hair to weaken and fall out. Individuals begin to lose hair when the hair development cycle is disrupted. Hair shafts and hair follicles make up hair. Your hair is held together by follicles, and the hair shaft is
the skin where hair development begins.

A few types of hair loss problems individuals may suffer from:

  •  Anagen effluvium: This hair condition is associated with medical treatments like chemotherapy and radiation used for cancer treatment. It commonly affects your hair during the anagen phase with symptoms like diffuse hair loss and tapered fracture of hair shafts.
  •  Telogen effluvium: Hair follicles rest during the telogen phase; but when the hair regrowth stops, it can lead to this hair fall condition. You may start noticing hair loss all over your scalp. It can turn out to be chronic if the
    condition lasts longer than six months. In this type of hair loss, you may start seeing clusters of hair on your hairbrush and in the shower.
  •  Medication-infused hair loss: Steroids, cancer treatments, anti-depressants, thyroid medications, cholesterol drugs, Parkinson’s disease, and high blood pressure can be reasons for hair loss. If you experience hair loss due to medications it is recommended you visit a doctor to get the condition
    under control.

Homeopathic remedies treat all of these medical disorders, thereby addressing the underlying cause of hair loss. Homeopathic medicine also considers mental as well as emotional issues such as stress and anxiety, which are frequently the root of hair loss. It targets the mind and gently restores mind-body equilibrium to treat the patient as a whole. Health disorders are frequently the cause of thinning hair. Hair thinning is primarily caused by a hormonal imbalance in the body. Anaemia, thyroid illness, ovarian cysts (PCOS), and menopause are among the risk concerns. All of these medical conditions are cured by homeopathy, addressing the underlying cause of hair loss. Homeopathy additionally takes into account emotional and mental disorders such as stress and anxiety, which are commonly the root cause of hair thinning.

Research has proven that homeopathy offers excellent hair treatment. A study published in the Journal of Recent Advances in Applied Sciences, 2015, found that homeopathy showed a positive result in the treatment of hair loss within 6 months.

Be it a result of a genetic problem, hormonal imbalances, or lifestyle issues; homeopathy aims to treat hair loss from the root without any side effects. Due to homeopathy’s individualized and holistic approach, medicines are prescribed based on individual symptoms.

Thuja Orientalis offers promise for promoting overall scalp health, addressing many of the underlying causes of hair loss and thinning hair, and may even have the potential to promote hair growth. Silicea helps in providing the hair follicles with vital nutrition strengthens the hair and reduces dryness.

Other Homeopathic remedies are:

Kali Carbonicum – This medicine treats hair thinning problems, reduces brittleness, and enhances hair growth on the scalp and eyebrows. Fluoric acid – This Homeopathy medicine treats patchy hair loss and helps enhance hair regrowth in bald patches.

Sepia – It is one of the most effective medicines for treating hair fall during postpartum. It also effectively treats alopecia areata, the matting of the hair, and dry, white, and scaly dandruff.

Ignatia Amara – This medicine helps when people face sudden hair loss in patches after a stressful event. Apart from using Homoeopathy remedies, people should eat a well-balanced diet rich in seasonal fruits and vegetables to keep healthy hair. Green tea and soya consumption aid to prevent Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) synthesis, which can be increased by avoiding meat. Aside from diet, people should avoid or limit the use
of blow dryers.

Kaamnaa actor Mohsin Ali Khan OPENS UP about transition from acting to writing, challenges and more

Mohsin Ali Khan

01 May 2023  Mohsin  Khan is a multi-talented artist who has been making waves in the entertainment industry with his acting and writing skills. He has garnered a huge following through his impressive performances in popular TV shows Meri Sai and Kaamnaa on Sony TV and Rudrakaal on Disney+Hotstar. But what many might not know is that he’s also an accomplished writer. Mohsin’s audio series on Pocket FM ‘SHIVAM: The Hidden Warrior,’ is a shining example of his impressive writing skills.

In his latest revelation, Mohsin spoke about his transition from acting to writing and what inspired him to take this creative leap. “I have been drawn to writing as a means to expand my creative expression and explore newer avenues of creativity. It has given me a level of control and independence to work around my creativity. It has allowed me to shape my imagination, giving me the freedom to express it in unique and personal ways. Moreover, writing is a fulfilling and rewarding creative pursuit in its own right, allowing me to hone my skills and develop my own distinct voice and style. Presently, I am writing for 2 shows, one of them being SHIVAM: The Hidden Warrior, which has received a stupendous response clocking over 10 million plays in a short span of time. It is crossing 500 episodes soon,” Mohsin shared.

He also shared the challenges he faced along the way and how he overcame them. “As an actor-turned-writer, I have faced several challenges in my writing career. One of the most significant hurdles was letting go of my preconceived notions about what makes a good story. As an actor, I had a strong sense of what worked on screen or stage, but writing required a different skill set and a willingness to adapt and learn. Another challenge was finding my own voice and style as a writer. It was daunting to put my work out there, especially since I was primarily known as an actor. I had to learn to let go of my ego, seek feedback from other writers, read widely, and take writing courses to develop my craft,” he expressed.

However, Mohsin Ali Khan did not let the challenges deter him and he persevered to make a name for himself. He shared, “I embraced the unique perspective that being an actor brought to my writing. I had a deep understanding of character and how to create a compelling performance, which translated well into writing. By building on my strengths and embracing my weaknesses, I managed to develop a unique voice and style as a writer.”

Mohsin’s journey from acting to writing is a fascinating one, and his insights are sure to be of interest to anyone who wants to pursue a career in the arts.

LOST IN TIME, a book reviving the forgotten glory of Telangana launched

LOST IN TIME, a book reviving the

Hyderabad,01 May 2023….. Dr V. Srinivas Goud, Minister for Tourism and Culture, Govt of Telangana unveiled ‘Lost In Time”, reviving the forgotten glory of Telangana, a dream project of FLO Hyderabad Chairperson Ritu Shah in a special program organised by FLO Hyderabad in a city hotel on Saturday evening.

Lost in Time, Reviving the forgotten glory of Telangana book is the brainchild of Ms Ritu Shah, the current chairperson of FLO Hyderabad. The rich cultural heritage of Telangana is documented in the book. The book is a celebration of its rich culture and heritage, announced Ritu Shah.

The book is the dedication of FICCI FLO Hyderabad towards research and compilation of a comprehensive guide to the heritage, art and culture of Telangana. This unique attempt focuses on Heritage, Festivals, Handlooms & Crafts, Paintings, Jewellery, Cuisine, Hyderabad Heritage, Performing Arts, and Hidden Gems (the lesser-known tourist places). It is a unique coffee table book with a difference, Ritu added.

Speaking on the occasion after the launch, Mr Srinivas Reddy said Telangana has rich culture and heritage. Unfortunately, the rulers in the past never made an attempt to bring them to light. We are no way less than any other part of the country in terms of our great culture and heritage. Take for instance Ramappa Temple, built about 850 years ago. It is a UNESCO Heritage site. This is famous for its intricate carvings and sculptures. The Ramappa Temple has a beautiful sculpture of a lady using High Heels or Sandals, which means the women in those using them, which reflects the culture of those days and how developed it was.

Hyderabad is Mini India. It has a culture which is different from the rest of India. Severn airports existed in the Nizam State. The Nizam ruler was the richest in the world. World’s Best Heritage Village Pochampally exists in our state, he added.

Speaking further the Minister urged FLO to adopt step wells which are in ruins now. He also appealed to them to adopt the long-forgotten arts or crafts that are featured in the just-unveiled book.

Minister Errabelli Dayakar Reddy said that he was stunned looking at the book, layout, printing quality, presentation and appeal. It is a great effort. A lot of effort has gone into producing it. The author of the book Ritu Shah and her family are our family friends. Indeed it is a noble thought and a great contribution to remind the current generation of the forgotten culture, crafts, arts, festivals, cuisine and what have you. Pothana, and Valmiki, the great scholars of our ancient times were born in this state. Such is the historical importance of our state, he added.

Her Excellency Mayor of Hyderabad Gadwal Vijayalakshmi said that she was invited by FLO several times in the past and it is like coming back home and FLO is like a family. Be grounded, never forget your roots. Roots are your foundation to know who you are. Attempting to bring to light the long-lost glory of a state is a noble thought. There couldn’t be a better contribution to a state than anything. We had a glorious past and the current generation must know their past. She appreciated Ritu Shah, the author, for the wonderful gift to the state.

The book is captivating and engrossing. Telangana and FLO are married to each other. FLO began its journey 22 years back in the city, said Pinky Reddy, Past National President of FLO.

Gundavaram Venkata Bhaskar Rao, MD of Kaveri Seeds said any attempt to revive the last culture, heritage, and tradition is laudable.

Smt. Deepika Reddy, Chairperson, of Telangana Sangeeta Nataka Academy appreciated FLO for their unique contribution in preserving the cultural heritage of the city and state.

Following the launch of Performance Warsi Brothers & Glory of Telangana by disciples of Guru Smt. Deepika Reddy presented by Deepanjali held
