Of course, we naturally shed a certain amount of strands a day, but let's try to keep it to the normal amount of hair, ladies. You to gentlemen! You don't want to wake up one morning and see patches missing from your hair while getting ready for your day.

Let's try to keep stress-induced hair loss away by implementing a yoga routine; meanwhile, releasing negative energy and concentrating on the matter at hand, to help alleviate stress. The controlled breathing in yoga may help relieve some forms of anxiety that you may be experiencing.

No-it won't make your problems go away, but It will give you time to get yourself together so that you can function correctly to help solve your problems at hand. You will be so busy concentrating on yoga, that you won't have time to be stressed at the moment.


Blood Circulation

Did you know, Yoga helps improve the circulation of blood?  That blood helps transports nutrients and oxygen throughout the body, to provide healthier skin, organs, and brain. Sounds great, doesn't it. Of course, it does! 

Let me tell you why! 

Just as our skin needs those nutrients, our hair follicles also need a good supply of blood to maintain healthy hair as well. Hair usually grows between  1/4" and 1/2 " each month, when it's not in the resting phase.

Hair growth will go through the different stages and grow appropriately as long as adequate nutrients are provided. Those nutrients come from a proper diet, but also through proper blood circulation; so that, the blood, oxygen, and nutrients can reach the roots in the follicle. 


Try scalp massages and a little yoga to get that blood pumping and circulating to all parts of the body. 


Make sure to consume the proper nutrients in your food or supplements, because the nutrients will go through your blood circulation to the most needed organs before going to your hair. Therefore, if there are no nutrients left after feeding the heart & other major organs, the hair will go lacking. 


So keep that blood flowing, so that nutrients can reach your follicles to help feed it. Try doing yoga to help with the process of hair growth; meanwhile, helping the skin, organs, and brain also.
