Hair fall, a common concern, has various causes, including:
1. Poor nutrition
2. Erratic lifestyle (late nights, long hours)
3. Environmental factors (pollution, climate)
4. Stress, anxiety, tension, and inadequate sleep/rest
In Ayurveda, hair fall is linked to the quality of bone tissue. Weakness in bone tissue leads to hair loss.
Ayurvedic treatment for hair fall depends on:
1. Understanding your constitution (prakriti) and imbalances (vikriti)
2. Identifying dosha imbalances (Vata, Pitta, Kapha)
Symptoms and hair characteristics associated with each dosha imbalance:
– Vata: dry, frizzy, brittle hair
– Pitta: receding hairline, thinning texture, color changes (e.g., brownish tinge)
– Kapha: excessively oily and sticky hair, leading to blocked follicles and hair fall
Ayurveda aims to restore balance and harmony, addressing hair fall through personalized remedies, diet, lifestyle, and stress management.
