Ayurvedic care for hair fall, thinning and scalp health - planned around the cause of your hair loss
Hair Fall (Khalitya)
Losing 50 to 100 hairs a day is normal. When hair fall increases, the hair becomes thin or bald patches appear, it is usually a sign of an underlying cause - stress, poor nutrition, hormonal changes, scalp problems or family history.
In Ayurveda, hair fall is called Khalitya and is mainly linked to an imbalance of Pitta dosha. Our doctors first find out what is causing your hair loss, and then plan treatment for both the scalp and the body.
Common Causes
Physical or emotional stress can push many hairs into the shedding phase at the same time.
Low iron, protein, vitamin D or vitamin B12 commonly cause thinning hair.
Thyroid problems, PCOS, pregnancy, childbirth and menopause can all trigger hair fall.
Dandruff, scalp infections and an oily or itchy scalp weaken the hair roots.
Male and female pattern hair loss often runs in families and starts gradually.
Frequent colouring, straightening, tight hairstyles and heat styling damage the hair.
Treatment depends on the cause of your hair loss, your body type (prakriti) and your general health. A plan usually combines:
Hair grows slowly, so improvement is gradual and usually takes a few months. Results vary from person to person, and long-standing pattern baldness may not fully regrow.
Medicines and therapies are prescribed only after a consultation. Please do not start any herb or medicine on your own.
FAQ
Hair grows slowly. Most people notice less hair fall first, and new growth takes a few months. The doctor will review your progress at each follow-up.
When hair fall is caused by stress, nutrition, hormones or scalp problems, hair often grows back once the cause is treated. Long-standing pattern baldness may not fully regrow.
Sometimes. If the doctor suspects thyroid problems, low iron, vitamin deficiency or PCOS, simple blood tests may be advised.
No. Use a mild shampoo suited to your scalp. The doctor will advise you on oiling, washing and products to avoid.
