Understanding the Ayurvedic Approach to Hair Fall
Ayurveda views hair fall as a reflection of internal imbalances. According to this tradition, hair health is closely linked to the body's overall health, particularly the state of the doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. An imbalance in these energies can lead to hair problems, including hair fall.
Balancing the Doshas
Vata Imbalance: Characterized by dry, brittle hair and dandruff. To balance Vata, focus on hydration and nourishment through oil massages and a diet rich in healthy fats.
Pitta Imbalance: Often leads to premature graying and hair thinning. Cooling treatments and stress reduction are key.
Kapha Imbalance: Causes oily scalp and heavy hair loss. Detoxification and stimulating the scalp can help.
