Green tea hair rinse: The quiet little trick for stronger roots
It sounds almost too simple, but rinsing your hair with green tea can do more than you'd expect, especially if you're struggling with weak roots, hair fall, or a tired, itchy scalp.
Green tea is full of antioxidants, not the kind you need a science degree to understand, but the kind that quietly protect your body (and your scalp) from everyday damage. One of the big players in green tea is something called EGCG. What it does is improve blood flow, reduce inflammation, and support the growth of strong, healthy hair from the root.
You won't see it working in real time, but give it a few weeks and you might just feel your hair behaving a little differently less fall, more life.
Making a rinse is surprisingly easy. Just boil two cups of water, drop in two green tea bags, and let them steep until the water cools down completely. That's it. After washing your hair like you normally would (shampoo only — skip the conditioner for this), pour the cooled green tea slowly onto your scalp and along your hair.

Massage it in gently, like you're encouraging it to sink in a bit. Wait for five minutes, then rinse it out with plain water.
You don't need fancy hair masks or complicated routines for this to work. Doing it twice a week is more than enough. Over time, your roots start to feel a little stronger, the scalp a little calmer, and your hair picks up a soft, natural shine — the kind that doesn't come from silicone or spray bottles. It's not an overnight miracle, but it's a kind, consistent way of giving your hair what it quietly needs.
What makes green tea rinsing special isn't just the results, it's the feeling of doing something gentle and nourishing for yourself without any fuss. No chemicals, no heavy scents, no long product labels. Just something simple, affordable, and good. You boil water, you let the tea cool, and you pour. It doesn't get more real than that. In a world full of products promising instant results, the green tea rinse stands apart.
It doesn't shout. It just works slowly, quietly, and with a kind of honesty your hair will notice. Try it. You've probably already got everything you need.

In relief for cancer patients, AIIMS gets palliative care unit
Bhopal: AIIMS Bhopal has launched a specialised 10-bed Palliative Care Unit, representing an important advancement in specialised healthcare. The unit is designed to provide comprehensive support to patients with severe illnesses, particularly cancer, focusing on pain management, physical symptom relief, and emotional support. In India, there exists a substantial gap in palliative care provision, with merely 1-2% of patients receiving necessary care, according to experts. Although the National Medical Commission (NMC) promotes its integration into medical curriculum, there are no mandatory requirements for tertiary hospitals or medical colleges to establish dedicated facilities. Healthcare facilities often show reluctance in providing extended care to long-term patients. A senior consultant at Hamidia Hospital stated, "We receive referrals. The whole hospital is palliative care. District hospitals and others are mandated for creating palliative care support," highlighting the absence of a dedicated facility. AIIMS Bhopal's palliative care service operates with existing medical personnel, increasing pressure on available resources. The facility prioritises prompt pain management and symptom control, particularly for patients with complex conditions requiring intensive care support. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dermatologists: What Actually Helps With Nail Fungus Mullend Learn More AIIMS Bhopal director, Dr Ajai Singh, highlighted infrastructure and awareness challenges: "Regular patients struggle for beds, and manpower is stretched.

It is an effort to bridge the gap and provide dignity to patients by focusing on comfort, respect, and emotional support during critical moments. " The institution offers nursing programmes in palliative care and maintains a 10-bed facility. They plan to upgrade four beds to HDU status, The National Programme for Palliative Care (NPPC) guidelines suggest establishing units in tertiary hospitals and medical colleges.

Metrowater says it can't remove forever chemicals from lakes
Chennai: In an ongoing case before the National Green Tribunal (NGT), Chennai's lakes have come under scrutiny for contamination by 'forever chemicals'— toxic compounds linked to cancer and liver damage. Metrowater said the city's current treatment infrastructure cannot remove these chemicals, scientifically known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). In an affidavit, the board said that PFAS enter water bodies through everyday items — especially fast food wrappers, instant noodle cups, and baking paper — whose chemical coatings break down in landfills. The resulting leachate seeps into groundwater and lakes, contaminating urban water systems. While these substances are known for their non-stick, oil-resistant properties, their extreme chemical stability also makes them nearly impossible to break down through conventional treatment.

More importantly, they said that during treatment, certain PFAS precursors may convert into detectable PFAS forms, raising levels in treated water higher than the raw input. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 새로 나온 '실비보험' 최적가 비교가입!

Laboratory results often don't translate to real-world success, where wastewater is filled with organic matter and other compounds that interfere with treatment. Detection itself is a hurdle. PFAS and their precursors require specialized equipment such as high-resolution mass spectrometry, which is costly and not widely available in India. Without clear regulations or national guidelines, utilities like Metrowater are operating in a scientific vacuum. Instead of downstream fixes, the board called for preventive measures — stopping PFAS at the source. That means controlling industrial and packaging uses before they enter the waste stream.
