Hair Fall: An Ayurvedic and Modern Medical Approach

At Yogakshema Ayurveda Hospital

🩺 Introduction

Hair fall, or Khalitya in Ayurveda, is a common issue affecting people of all age groups. It can arise from lifestyle factors, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal changes, or deeper systemic imbalances. At Yogakshema Ayurveda Hospital, we provide a comprehensive, integrative approach, combining Ayurvedic principles with modern medical diagnostics and therapies for effective, sustainable hair regrowth and scalp health.

🧬 Understanding Hair Fall

While natural shedding of hair is part of the growth cycle, excessive or abnormal hair fall may indicate an imbalance in body systems. Ayurveda and modern medicine recognize multiple root causes and manifestations of this condition.

🌿 Ayurvedic Perspective on Khalitya

Hair fall is primarily linked to Pitta imbalance, with additional influence from Vata and Kapha doshas.

🔥 Aggravated Pitta

  • Increases body heat and inflammation in the scalp

  • Causes premature hair thinning and graying

💨 Aggravated Vata

  • Leads to dryness, brittle hair, split ends, and poor circulation

🌊 Aggravated Kapha

  • Results in excessive oiliness, clogged follicles, and hair root weakening

🩸 Dhatu Dushti (Tissue Impairment)

  • Rasa Dhatu (Plasma): Poor nourishment to hair

  • Rakta Dhatu (Blood): Impurities affecting hair root strength

  • Asthi Dhatu (Bone): Hair, as a by-product of bone tissue, is affected by weak asthi metabolism

🧠 Manasika Karana (Mental Causes)

  • Stress, anxiety, and emotional imbalances exacerbate hair fall

🧪 Modern Medical Causes

  • Genetic predisposition (Androgenetic alopecia)

  • Hormonal imbalances (e.g., pregnancy, menopause, thyroid disorders)

  • Autoimmune conditions (e.g., alopecia areata)

  • Medications (e.g., chemotherapy, antidepressants)

  • Nutritional deficiencies (iron, zinc, vitamin D, protein)

  • Scalp infections or inflammation

  • Stress-induced hair loss (telogen effluvium)

  • Aggressive hairstyling or chemical treatments

📋 Signs and Symptoms of Khalitya

  • Excessive hair shedding

  • Thinning or receding hairline

  • Bald patches or diffuse thinning

  • Dry, lifeless, or brittle hair

  • Scalp irritation, itching, or inflammation
