Hairfall and Ayurveda :

In Ayurveda hairfall is given a nomenclature ‘KHALITHYA’ where vitiated pitta dosha (heat element) along with vata dosha gets seated at the root of hair and cause hair fall. When it is associated with other dosha kapha (mucous element of body) it totally ceases the new hair formation from the follicle .
