Some individuals struggling with hair loss are interested in following natural methods to address the issue. Many are seeking to consume nutrients that help prevent or minimize hair loss. According to the "Hindustan Times," incorporating the following five spices into the diet can help reduce hair loss, and some oils extracted from these spices can also be used topically on the hair and scalp:
1. **Black Seed (Nigella sativa)**
The thymoquinone found in black seed can nourish hair follicles and prevent hair loss. Massaging the scalp with black seed oil can enhance hair health.
2. **Cumin**
Cumin seeds contain proteins and carbohydrates that support hair growth and strengthen roots. They can be added to water and consumed in the morning.
3. **Black Pepper**
Black pepper is rich in carotenoids, flavonoids, and vitamins A and C, all of which can help strengthen roots and promote hair growth. You can add black pepper to regular meals or consume it after soaking it in a cup of water to detoxify.
4. **Cinnamon**
Cinnamon is packed with antioxidants, as well as vitamins A, C, E, and K, which can help reduce inflammation and strengthen hair follicles. It can be consumed by soaking it in water or adding it to herbal tea.
5. **Sesame**
Sesame seeds contain omega-3 fatty acids, which can improve blood flow to the scalp and make hair long and beautiful. Additionally, scalp massages with sesame seed oil can reduce hair loss.
