Hair is an essential part of one’s appearance and self-esteem. Ayurveda, the ancient healing system, offers deep insights into hair-related issues like Khalitya (hair fall or baldness) and Palitya (premature greying).
KHALITYA-
Khalitya is classified as a Kshudra Roga (minor disease) in Ayurveda. It occurs due to an imbalance in the three doshas — Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Excessive Pitta, often combined with Vata, affects the hair roots (Romakoopa) and leads to hair fall. Kapha and Rakta (blood) are also involved in blocking the hair follicles, preventing new growth.
PALITYA-
Palitya refers to the early onset of grey or white hair, which Ayurveda attributes to an imbalance of Pitta and Vata doshas.
Increased Pitta aggravates the destruction of melanin, the pigment responsible for hair colour, leading to greying. Ayurveda adopts a holistic approach that focuses on treating the root cause of the problem rather than merely managing the symptoms. Its therapies aim to balance the doshas, strengthen the hair roots, and promote overall well-being.
Khalitya and Palitya, though common, can be effectively managed through Ayurvedic principles. By addressing lifestyle factors, dietary habits, and incorporating herbal remedies, one can restore hair health and prevent further damage.
Detoxification through Panchakarma like ( Nasya, shirodhara etc.)can effectively treat chronic cases of Khalitya and Palitya. For best treatment of hairfall and premature graying of hair consult our doctors at Aagney Ayurveda and Panchkarma Hospital near paldi, Ahmedabad.
