Is Traya Ayurvedic? Here’s the Truth Behind Its Herbal + Scientific Formula

Ayurveda is India's heritage. A gift to the world. In this day and age when everyone is turning away from the harsh medical substances that have more side effects than real good effects. And that is slowly turning everybody to our roots, our heritage, Ayurveda. Now you might be asking yourself how Ayurveda can help in hair growth. There are many medical researches that have shown how ayurveda actually targets the root cause for hair problem instead of the hair loss itself. This gives a more holistic approach to the problem. Using this philosophy Traya has bought a resurgence in ayurvedic hair solutions. But people are still confused if Traya’s ayurvedic products are pure or a hybrid kind. 

In this blog we will discuss the ayurveda angle of our holistic approach to hair care.

Naman from Vadodra, aged 27, says:

“I am one of the lucky people who found Traya in the beginning of my hair loss situation. I found Traya through their podcast on YouTube and immediately filled out the hair test. I had dandruff for a while but never paid attention to it but then I noticed that my hair was getting thinner and losing volume. I knew I had to do something and found Traya at the right time. Exactly one month after the treatment I noticed not only my dandruff was gone but my hair was falling less, by the third month I saw baby hair growth. I have not used other products in the market, but I can assure you Traya delivers what it claims.”
