  Shikakai

  Shikakai which means “fruit for hair” is a part of the traditional Indian Ayurvedic medicine. It is an herb especially used for controlling hair fall and dandruff.
  Shikakai can be used alone or in combination with reetha and amla as a shampoo to help manage hair fall and prevent dandruff due to its cleansing and antifungal properties. It provides shine to the hair as well as prevents its greying.
  According to Ayurveda, applying Shikakai powder along with rose water or honey to wounds helps in faster healing due to its Ropan (healing) property and Sita (cold) nature.
  Drinking Shikakai infusion helps manage constipation due to its Rechana (laxative) nature. It is also beneficial for bleeding piles due to its Kashaya (astringent) property[1].

  1. Loss of appetite
  Shikakai helps to improve appetite when it is made a part of the daily diet. In Ayurveda, loss of appetite is due to Agnimandya (weak digestion). It is caused by an aggravation of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha doshas leading to incomplete digestion of food. This causes insufficient secretion of gastric juice in the stomach resulting in appetite loss. Shikakai stimulates digestion and improves appetite due to its Deepan (appetizer) property.
  Tips:
  a. Remove the seeds of Shikakai after crushing the fruit.
  b. Soak it in 1 glass of water for atleast 1 hour.
  c. Take 1/4 glass of this infusion before food to improve appetite.
  
  2. Bleeding piles
  Piles are known as Arsh in Ayurveda which is caused by an unhealthy diet and a sedentary lifestyle. This leads to the impairment of all the three doshas, mainly Vata. An aggravated Vata causes a low digestive fire, leading to constipation. This causes swelling in the veins in the rectum area leading to pile mass. Sometimes bleeding can also occur in this condition. Shikakai helps to control bleeding. This is due to its Kashaya (astringent) property.
  Tips:
  a. Remove the seeds of Shikakai after crushing the fruit.
  b. Soak it in 1 glass of water for atleast 1 hour.
  c. Take 1/4 glass of this infusion before sleeping to manage bleeding piles.
  
  3. Constipation
  Shikakai helps to manage constipation when it is taken after soaking in water. Constipation is mainly due to frequent consumption of junk food, excess intake of coffee or tea, sleeping late at night, stress and depression. Shikakai increases bulk in the stool and improves bowel movement. This is due to its Rechana (laxative) nature.
  Tips:
  a. Remove the seeds of Shikakai after crushing the fruit.
  b. Soak it in 1 glass of water for atleast 1 hour.
  c. Take 1/4 glass of this infusion before sleeping to control constipation.
