Hair Fall (COSMETOLOGICAL PROCEDURES)
Hair fall (called Khalitya in Ayurveda) occurs due to imbalance in Pitta and Vata doshas, poor nutrition, stress, hormonal changes, and buildup of Ama (toxins). Ayurveda treats hair fall by correcting the internal imbalance, nourishing the hair roots (Keshya Dhatu), and rejuvenating the scalp and nervous system.
Ayurvedic Causes of Hair Fall
• Excess Pitta (heat) leading to scalp inflammation
• Weak digestion (Agnimandya) causing poor nutrient absorption
• Stress & anxiety increasing Vata
• Hormonal imbalances (thyroid, PCOD, menopause)
• Chemical hair products and irregular lifestyle
