Hair Loss And Its Treatment: An Ayurvedic Perspective

The article discusses hair loss (Khalitya) from an Ayurvedic perspective, attributing it to imbalances in the three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—and disturbances in Rakta and Asthi dhatus. Pitta dosha is primarily responsible for follicular damage, while Vata and Kapha contribute to dryness and obstruction. Ayurvedic treatment aims to address the root causes through purification, pacification, rejuvenation, and lifestyle changes. Key herbs like Bhringraj, Amalaki, and Brahmi, along with therapies such as Nasya, Shirodhara, and Taila Abhyanga, are highlighted for their roles in controlling hair loss and promoting regrowth, emphasizing a holistic approach for long-term hair health and systemic balance.
