Back to the roots - "Stronger the hair roots; Stronger the hair"

It has been truly said that Indian civilization is the most ancient civilization still alive and still surviving and indeed it’s flourishing day by day. Whether it’s from food, way of dressing, fabric, dance, science, mathematics, architecture, etc.  Indian culture has always, immensely contributed to the various other cultures around the world.

Archeologists and historians have successfully proved that the world’s first university “Takshila” and “Nalanda” were first established in India and Sanskrit is the mother of all the European languages. The word Geometry itself is derived from the word Gayamiti and trigonometry  from the word Trikonnamiti - tri(three)+kon(angle)+miti(parametre).

Even in the field of medicine Ayurveda is considered as the earliest school of medicine known to Mankind.

India is also known for its unique art forms like classical dances, folk dances, literature, cave paintings, etc. Paintings in the Caves of Ajentha and Alora are the standing proves since 2nd century BCE speaking about the importance of hair to enhance a women's allure. Every Indian art form indeed tells secretly that how hair are the natural adornment to a women's beauty.

In India, its in fact a culture or you can say a tradition for young and married girls or women to have long & beautiful black hair. And having such cultural and traditional Granny I had no other options too.

In my school days, my granny use to chumpy (oil massage) me with tons of oil. If it was possible for her, to extract all the oil around the world to nourish my hair she could have even gone through that extent. Ya.. it was kind of  irritating but had no other choice, except accepting it.

But indeed thanks to her, after going  through numerous experiments, like rebounding, perming, coloring , chopping the hair to try out various hair cuts continuously, my hair 'survived'. But they had just survived like an injured solider who had fought the entire war for the victory of his nation.

Anyways, when I entered my early twenties I realized the actual importance of having strong and healthy hair. But it was, I guess too late because I had started facing numerous hair problems like tremendous hair fall, splitants, scalp dryness, dandruff, rough hair (Yes I had just told you that they had just survived as if they had fought a war for their mere existence). Its was as if I had lost my original texture all together. 

Then after surfing allover the net and doing some research I found out that to have healthy hair, one must have strong hair roots. Ya.. its common sense after all. for instance to build a strong architecture an architect constructs a strong base first. And it was the time Ii realized for having stronger and healthier hair I must nourish 'the roots'.

And so I went back to my roots to nourish my hair. I recollected how Granny use to everyday give me a good hair oil massage. And it was not a common oil. She use to use a special oil made from the aerial Roots of a banyan tree. In the beginning I found difficult to find that oil in the market but on the advice of my friend I ultimately found and purchased it from a Ayurvedic medicine shop. The owner of the medicine shop was also a "Vaidya" (doctor). On hearing my various hair problem the Vaidya advised me to wash my hair with the medicinal churan provided by him.

Within just a week of using that Ayurvedic oil and the churan to wash my hair, I started noticing a magical change in the texture of my hair. My hair were getting healthier and stronger day by day.
And that was the end of my all the hair problems.

As I said in the very first line "Indian civilization is the most ancient civilization still alive and still surviving and indeed it’s flourishing day by day" The only reason to it is that its strong at its roots. Similarly I learnt -

"stronger the hair roots stronger the hair"
