When Winter Charms the Soul but Challenges the Hair
Winter brings its cozy charm — crisp air, warm sweaters, and the comfort of hot beverages. But while our hearts feel the warmth of the season, our hair often doesn’t.
Cold winds, low humidity, and frequent hot water baths strip away the scalp’s natural oils. As a result, hair becomes dry, dull, and more prone to dandruff and breakage. Ayurveda — the ancient Indian science of holistic living — has long explained this seasonal impact through the principle of dosha balance, especially the dominance of Vata dosha during Hemanta and Shishira Ritu (early and late winter).
When Vata increases, the body and scalp experience dryness and reduced nourishment. But Ayurveda also gives a beautiful solution — counteracting dryness with warmth, oiling, and rejuvenation through herbs and nutrition.
Nature Nuskha brings these ancient remedies into modern life with its Oil Plus, Onion Shampoo, and Nourishing Hair Mist — all enriched with Pea Protein and Ayurvedic oils to restore strength, hydration, and shine even in the harshest winter.
Why Hair Needs Extra Care in Winter: The Ayurvedic Explanation
According to Charaka Samhita (Sutrasthana, Chapter 22), seasonal routines (Ritucharya) must change with climate to maintain dosha balance. In winter, Vata (dryness, movement) and Kapha (heaviness, sluggishness) dominate, impacting both scalp and hair.
Low humidity dehydrates the scalp; cold air tightens pores and reduces oil secretion. Modern science agrees — this combination leads to brittle, lifeless hair and dandruff. Ayurveda recommends increasing unctuousness (Snigdhata) and warm nourishment through oils, herbs, and proteins to balance Vata and Kapha.
That’s precisely what Nature Nuskha achieves — combining Ayurvedic oils with natural proteins and vitamins to keep your hair hydrated, strong, and resilient.
Short-Term Damages of Neglecting Winter Hair Care
In winter if hair isn’t cared properly, short-term effects show up quickly:
Dry, Flaky Scalp:
Loss of natural moisture triggers dandruff and itching.
Frizz and Tangling:
The hair cuticle lifts in dry air, creating rough texture.
Weak, Dull Strands:
Lack of nutrients and hydration make hair lose shine.
Static and Breakage:
Low moisture + friction = more split ends and broken strands.
Early Hair Fall:
Weak roots and poor circulation trigger shedding.
These are warning signs of imbalance — both Vata in Ayurveda and lack of moisture-protein equilibrium scientifically.
Long-Term Damages of Winter Neglect
Chronic winter neglect doesn’t just affect how your hair looks; it affects how it grows.
Hair Thinning: Long-term dryness weakens follicles.
Premature Greying: Oxidative stress and poor nutrition accelerate greying.
Persistent Dandruff: Chronic imbalance causes Darunaka (dandruff disorder described in Sushruta Samhita).
Delayed Growth: Low scalp nourishment slows hair regeneration.
Weakened Scalp Barrier: Leads to long-lasting sensitivity and scalp acne.
Ayurveda calls this condition Keshya Dhatu Kshaya — depletion of the tissue that supports hair vitality.
Ayurvedic Insights: Balancing Doshas for Winter Hair Health
In Ayurveda, hair is a by-product of Asthi Dhatu (bone tissue). When the body lacks nourishment and lubrication, both bone and hair suffer.
During winter, Vata dosha increases — characterized by dryness and roughness. Hence, Ayurveda prescribes:
Regular oiling (Abhyanga) with warm, nourishing oils like sesame, mustard, or avocado.
Warm, protein-rich, oily foods — ghee, sesame seeds, amla, lentils, peas, and nuts.
Avoidance of cold, dry, or processed food that aggravates Vata.
Texts like Bhavaprakasha Nighantu mention herbs such as Shankhpushpi, Neem, and Bhringraj as Keshya (hair-promoting), known for nourishing scalp tissue and strengthening roots.
The Missing Link: Protein and Hair Health
While oils and herbs address dryness, protein addresses strength — making it the essential balance Ayurveda and science both advocate.
Why Protein Matters:
Hair is primarily made of keratin, a fibrous protein.
Lack of dietary or topical protein leads to weak, easily breakable strands.
Pea Protein — used in Nature Nuskha’s range — is rich in amino acids that repair hair from within and coat strands with natural protection.
Ayurvedic Perspective:
Protein-rich foods like mung dal, peas, lentils, sesame seeds, and amla are mentioned in Charaka Samhita as Balya (strength-promoting) and Rasayana (rejuvenating). They help maintain healthy Dhatus (body tissues), ensuring stronger, denser hair growth.
Thus, Pea Protein in Nature Nuskha products acts as a bridge — combining modern science’s understanding of amino acids with Ayurveda’s focus on tissue nourishment.
Natural Ingredients That Work Wonders for Winter Hair
1. Avocado Oil
Rich in vitamins A, D, and E, and natural fatty acids, Avocado oil deeply nourishes and seals moisture — perfect for Vata-dominated dryness.
2. Sesame Oil (Tila Taila)
Revered in Ayurveda for its warming and strengthening nature. It improves circulation and prevents dandruff, as cited in Ashtanga Hridaya.
3. Mustard Oil (Sarshapa Taila)
Known for stimulating scalp circulation, mustard oil balances Kapha buildup and prevents hair fall.
4. Shankhpushpi
A mind-calming herb that also strengthens hair roots by improving microcirculation — mentioned in Bhavaprakasha Nighantu as Medhya and Keshya.
5. Neem Oil
Antifungal and purifying, Neem keeps dandruff and scalp infections away, promoting a clean, healthy scalp.
6. Shikakai
A natural cleanser rich in saponins that gently removes impurities without stripping natural oils — keeps scalp balanced and fresh.
7. Pea Protein
Strengthens the hair shaft, repairs surface damage, and adds smoothness. It’s nature’s vegan keratin booster.
8. Bhringraj
A key Keshya herb that promotes thicker growth and delays premature greying.
9. Orange Peel Extract
Loaded with vitamin C and flavonoids, it adds shine, balances scalp pH, and boosts collagen production.

मूल्य टिके रहें, तो दर्शन अमर रहता है”
(आरंभ)
साथी लायन्स,
हर दर्शन तब तक जीवित रहता है जब तक उसके अनुयायी उसके मूल्यों को जीवित रखते हैं।
“कोई भी दर्शन सदा के लिए नहीं टिकता,
यदि उसके रक्षक चरित्रवान और ईमानदार न हों।”
(रामायण का उदाहरण)
रामायण में देखिए —
राज्यभिषेक का अवसर त्यागकर श्रीराम ने धर्म और पितृवचन को प्राथमिकता दी।
उन्होंने दिखाया कि पद से बड़ा चरित्र होता है,
और सत्ता से बड़ा सत्य।
अगर राम ने भी सुविधा को धर्म से ऊपर रखा होता,
तो “रामराज्य” कभी नहीं बन पाता।
यही संदेश आज हमारे लायनिज़्म पर भी लागू होता है —
अगर हमारे नेता मूल्य भूल जाएँ,
तो संगठन का गौरव धीरे-धीरे खो जाता है।
(गीता का उदाहरण)
भगवद् गीता में श्रीकृष्ण कहते हैं —
“यदा यदा हि धर्मस्य ग्लानिर्भवति… तदा आत्मानं सृजाम्यहम्।”
(जब-जब धर्म में गिरावट आती है, मैं उसे पुनः स्थापित करने आता हूँ।)
संगठन में भी जब मूल्य कमज़ोर पड़ने लगते हैं,
तो ज़रूरत होती है ऐसे नेतृत्व की जो धर्म — यानी नैतिकता — को पुनः स्थापित करे।
(मुख्य विचार)
आज हमारे सामने चुनौती यह नहीं है कि हम कितने सदस्य जोड़ें,
बल्कि यह कि हम कितने मूल्य बचा पाएँ।
इसलिए जब हम इंटरनेशनल बोर्ड या किसी भी नेतृत्व का चुनाव करें,
तो हमें चेहरों को नहीं, चरित्र को चुनना चाहिए।
“पद प्रतिष्ठा से नहीं, प्रतिबद्धता से पवित्र होता है।”
हमें ऐसे लोग चाहिए जो पारदर्शी हों, जिम्मेदार हों,
और जो “We Serve” की भावना को फिर से जीवित करें।
(समापन)
मित्रों,
राम ने राज्य त्यागा, अर्जुन ने मोह त्यागा —
अब समय है कि हम स्वार्थ त्यागें और मूल्य अपनाएँ।
“संस्थान नियमों से चलते हैं,
पर चरित्र से जीवित रहते हैं।”
आइए हम सब मिलकर यह संकल्प लें —
कि हम लायनिज़्म के मूल सिद्धांतों को
सिर्फ बचाएँ नहीं,
बल्कि आने वाली पीढ़ियों के लिए और भी उज्ज्वल बनाएँ।
क्योंकि हम हैं LIONS —
“We Serve — with Integrity, with Unity, with Pride.”
धन्यवाद
जय लायनिज़्म!
