TLDR Ayurveda promotes hair health by balancing the body and using natural treatments.
This comprehensive review highlights the potential of Ayurveda in promoting hair health through holistic approaches. It emphasizes the importance of balancing the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) and maintaining proper bodily functions for vibrant hair. Ayurvedic practices such as scalp massages with herbal oils, natural cleansers, and dietary and lifestyle adjustments are recommended to address hair disorders like hair loss, dandruff, and premature greying. By focusing on restoring doshic balance, optimizing digestion, and nourishing hair follicles, Ayurveda aims to provide a personalized and long-term solution for hair vitality and overall well-being.
