In India, every elder, auntie, and well-meaning neighbour has a treasure trove of advice – from specific food restrictions to old wives' tales for every sniffle. While their intentions are pure, trying to follow every single, often conflicting, piece of advice can leave a new mother overwhelmed and doubting herself. This little gem taught me to trust my maternal instincts above all, giving me the freedom to filter out the noise and focus on what truly worked for my unique child and my own mental peace. It's wonderfully liberating!

How can I safely treat severe postpartum hair fall using traditional hair oiling routines?

How can I safely treat severe postpartum hair fall using traditional hair oiling routines?

Latest advice

Dear mom, please don't worry! Postpartum hair fall is a completely normal hormonal reaction that usually peaks around 3 to 4 months. Traditional oiling is wonderful for boosting circulation and relaxing you, but gentle care is crucial. Warm a base oil like coconut, almond,... See more lightly infused with methi (fenugreek seeds), curry leaves, or amla. Apply it gently to your scalp using finger pads in slow, circular movements—avoid vigorous rubbing or tight hairstyles, as your hair roots are weak right now.

Leave the warm oil on for just 30 to 60 minutes rather than overnight, which can clog pores or attract dust. Wash it off with lukewarm water and a mild, chemical-free shampoo. Pair this weekly routine with an iron- and protein-rich Indian diet containing dals, spinach, sesame seeds, and jaggery. Be patient and gentle with yourself; this phase is temporary, and your hair will gradually regain its strength!

Pregnancy time heartbeat became fast ..feeling very uncomfortable

Moms nd moms to be i need help my heartbeat s 110 115 ..i feel very uncomfortable.. How to deal wit this .any one pls help in this ..

Latest advice

It is quite common for your heart rate to increase during pregnancy because your body produces up to 50% extra blood to nourish your baby, making your heart work much harder. When you feel your heart racing, immediately sit or lie down on your left... See more to improve blood flow. Sip a glass of room-temperature water, as mild dehydration often triggers a fast pulse. Practice slow, deep breathing to calm your nervous system, and avoid caffeine like strong tea or coffee.

Since your heart rate is reaching 110–115 bpm and causing discomfort, please inform your gynecologist. It could simply be pregnancy fatigue, but your doctor will likely check your hemoglobin and thyroid levels to rule out anemia or hormonal shifts, which are very simple to treat. If you experience dizziness, breathlessness, or chest discomfort, visit the clinic immediately. Stay calm, rest well, and let your doctor guide you for your peace of mind.
