★ Since healthy hair is a sign of a healthy body, it is important for us to keep our hair silky, shiny and thick.
Hair loss can be embarrassing and hamper one’s self esteem and confidence. When treated early , hair loss can be reduced and even stopped completely.
In medical terms, loss of hair is known as ‘alopecia’. Alopecia may be a sign of some underlying disease.
★Hair fall is considered to be a problem of pitta dosha in Ayurveda and excess of Pitta dosha
in the body is the chief cause of hair problems.

coconut oil, amla oil, brahmi oil,mustard oil,sesame oil etc.

In men, a high concentration of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in hair follicles causes hair fall.
In women, hormonal imbalances both during pregnancy and after delivery cause hair fall.
> High amount of sebum in the scalp clogs the pores of the scalp and prevents nutrients from reaching the hair follicle, resulting in hair loss.
>Inadequate nutrition or unhealthy diet also causes hair fall.
>Stress, worry, lack of sleep, and anxiety too cause hair fall.
>Long-standing diseases like typhoid, viral infections, anaemia, surgery, etc. cause general debility which leads to hair fall.
>Some medicines like birth-control pills, anti-depressants, etc., including those used for gout, during chemotherapy against cancer, etc. cause hair fall.
>Diseases like lupus and diabetes also cause hair fall.
>Tying hair tightly pulls the hair from the follicles and cause traction alopecia.
>Heredity is also responsible for hair fall.
>Dandruff or fungal infection of scalp causes hair fall.
>Accumulation of dirt on scalp causes blocking of pores and weakens hair roots. This leads to hair fall.
