The average person has five million hairs (100,000 – 150,000 are on the scalp) hair is composed of keratin hair are produced by a small structure underneath the skin called the hair follicles. Hair follicles are formed while we are still a fetus, and after we are born no new follicles are produced each hair grows in series of phase in the growth phase hair is continually growing for up to five year. (1)These are three phase of hair growthAnagen is the first phase which is a growing phase and also very active. The second one which is Cartagena is a phase that is naturally hair cycle. It’s also a period when hair begins to break down continuously. (2)The last one is called Telogen. Under this phase the hair doesn’t grow. Ayurveda is a form of alternative medicine originated in India. Today Ayurveda is emerging as a safe and effective way of treating several ailments including hair loss. The advantage of Ayurveda treatment, as opposed to traditional allopathic treatment, is that it does not cause any side effects in human body. The treatment is also more cost effective than most other traditional methods of hair loss treatments and hair transplant surgeries.Hair loss, according to Ayurveda, is caused by excess of "pitta" in our body. (3) Main causes of pitta are higher intake of oily and spicy foods as well as consumption of excessive tea, coffee, and alcohol. Smoking is also a major culprit for abnormal pitta level in our body.Hair loss may also be caused by anemia, general weakness following a disease, anxiety, stress, intake of too much medication and low blood circulation. Ayurveda also cites hormonal imbalance, chronic diseases like typhoid fever and presence of dandruff as other major reasons for hair loss.
