Tea can be defined as a soothing beverage made of tea leaves and water, but many a times it also refers to a beverage that is made with a combination of a few herbs and spices. A cup of tea that has a few potent spices as star ingredients could be called a herbal tea. For instance, this turmeric and ashwagandha tea, which is equal parts soothing and rejuvenating. The health benefits of both turmeric and ashwagandha are now globally renowned, and the combining both could actually do wonders for your overall health. If you have grown up in India, there is no way you would not have heard of turmeric - we use it every day to flavour our curries and give them a beautiful hue. Moreover, turmeric (or haldi) is also one of India's ancient remedies for pain, sore throat, injuries and poor immunity. Turns out that turmeric is replete with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, the active compound curcumin, present in turmeric could potentially manage many chronic diseases as per a few studies. Turmeric has become the showstopper in alternative medicine, and kit is all natural, so side effects are minimal. However, that does not mean you start over-consuming it. Another Ayurvedic gem is ashwagandha, ashwagandha literally translates to smell of horse. Ashwagandha is known to be an effective adaptogen, it helps relieve stress and induce sleep. It is also useful in improving hormone function, and its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties make it a go-to-choice for improving immunity.

The jury is still out on whether massaging scalps can help prevent hair loss. Despite the numerous claims of benefits and patents for scalp massage devices, there have not been many scientific studies into the matter. One study performed in the 90s examined whether a daily massage with essential oils would promote hair growth in patients with alopecia areata. The study did find a statistically significant improvement for the active group. However, it is important to note that the control group also received a daily massage without essential oils. Additionally, the above study was examining alopecia areata. This is a different condition than androgenetic alopecia, the condition known as male pattern baldness in men. It is possible that scalp massage can help prevent hair loss. Massage certainly does improve blood flow near surface tissue and can help combat stress. However, despite massage being used in medicine for millennia and many claims about the benefits for hair growth, there has yet to be much reliable scientific evidence that it works. Significantly, there are many other treatments for hair loss that are more closely based on scientific evidence and are clinically tested. While there is likely no harm in trying scalp massage, it is probably best not to rely on this method alone to treat a hair loss condition.
