Yoga for premature graying hair 

Premature graying of hair can be due to many reasons; some common ones include heredity, pollution, using harsh chemicals and styling agents or treatment for hair and common for all stress. A very easy and convenient asana to stop the further development of grey hair is rubbing your nails. Sit in sukhasana or in easy pose. Close your eyes and relax. Think as if you are the happiest person on the earth without any problems and stress. Not bring together the nails of both the hands and rub them against each other. This will produce a quaky sound but will certainly help your grey locks. It is believed that the nerve endings present below your finger nails are directly connected to your hair roots. So when you rub your finger nails against each other you are directly improving the blood circulation under the scalp which will in turn help to decrease the further formation of grey hair. Besides rubbing your nails also rub the forehead area closest to the hairline when you wake up in the morning. This will also help remove any blocks in blood circulation in the scalp region.

Kapalbhati – sit on a yoga mat in easy pose or any meditative pose like even vajrasana. Exhale deliberately and with little force from both the nostrils, your stomach will automatically go in when you exhale. Inhaling should be done effortlessly and very passively. When you start kapalbhati perform for 1 minute at a time then gradually you can add 30 seconds more after a week. After a minute take a deep breathe and exhale slowly. Kapalbhati helps to purify the frontal part of the brain which in turn helps to improve the blood circulation in the scalp and prevent graying of the hair. It also helps in other disease conditions like diabetes, asthma, and nervous disorders.
