Ayurveda Treatment for Hair Loss
Did you know that your scalp naturally loses 50-100 hair strands in a day?
It is normal to shed some hair each day. This usually isn’t noticeable because new hair keeps growing in at the same time.
However, if you experience more than normal hair loss or have noticed that new hair hasn’t replaced the hair that has fallen out, you should pay attention.
Ayurveda treatment for hair loss can be an effective way to address this issue, as it includes diet, meditation, yoga, and local oil application with regular massage.
Understanding Hair Loss
Hair loss can be the result of hereditary factors, hormonal changes, medical conditions, stress, or as a normal part of the aging process. Ayurveda treatment for hair loss includes diet, meditation, yoga, and local oil application with regular massage. This means Ayurveda recommends some lifestyle changes in order to reduce hair fall.
If you notice that your hair falls every time you comb your hair or simply run your hand through it, there is nothing to worry about. Shedding about 100 hairs on a daily basis is a common occurrence. Hair fall is a common phenomenon in all individuals. However, when the ratio of hair fall to new follicle development is varied, this can be considered a serious hair condition.
Hair loss is a common problem faced by many. Baldness in men is at least accepted in society, but it is not the same for women. Just like any other part of our body, hair is also considered to be part of our body. So taking care of your hair is important too.
Common Signs of Hair Fall
- Gradual thinning of your hair starting close to the hairline
- Alopecia or losing hair in a circular patch at the top of the head
- Losing hair in patches all over the scalp.
- Hair starting to feel loose and breaks easily
Causes of Hair Loss
- Changes in hormones: Hormonal changes due to pregnancy, childbirth, menopause and thyroid problems.
- Hereditary: Happens gradually with aging leading to male pattern baldness or hereditary pattern baldness.
- Emotional or mental stress: Emotional or mental stress can lead to hair loss.
- Fungal infections: Bald patches can result from a ringworm infection in the scalp.
- Poor nutrition: A diet deficient in the required amount of nutrients such as proteins, amino acids, vitamins, etc. can cause hair fall
- Lifestyle: Including sleep deprivation, smoking, stress, and excess sun exposure can cause hormonal imbalance, resulting in hair loss.
- Certain medications and major surgery: Certain medications and major surgery can cause temporary hair loss. This includes blood thinners, vitamin A supplements, medications for thyroid issues, high blood pressure, antidepressants, heart problems, birth control pills and so on.
- Hairstyles and treatments: Certain hairstyles that pull your hair tight or chemicals used for hair styling can cause damage.
Ayurvedic Causes of Hair Loss
According to Ayurveda, hair fall occurs due to an imbalance of Pitta energy in the body. Along with unbalanced diet and an excess intake of junk food, this is the most common reason for hair fall. Stress, anxiety and disturbed sleep also leads to hair fall.
