Causes Symptoms

Hair Loss is more than just an aesthetic problem-it is an issue that affects the confidence of an individual. Excessive hair fall is usually caused by hormonal imbalance, stress, nutritional deficiencies, scalp disorders, or unhealthy lifestyle habits. Hair Loss Treatment aims at addressing the root cause of the problem to stimulate hair growth.

What is Hair Loss?

Stress, worry, anxiety, and inadequate nutrition lead to hair loss and premature white hair.  A certain amount of hair loss is considered normal, as old strands are replaced by new ones. When hair loss is excessive, care must be taken. Similarly, the greying of hair after a certain age is a normal phenomenon, but when this starts in the early years of life, one should look into Ayurvedic remedies to prevent white hair and promote the natural regrowth of hair.

Common Causes of Hair Loss

Factors such as unhealthy nutrition, elevated stress levels, hormonal imbalances, and inadequate hair care can cause Pitta aggravation, leading to weakened hair follicles and increased hair loss.

Some more hair fall reasons can be:

• Genetics: Hereditary hair loss, known as androgenetic alopecia, is the most common cause for many.
• Hormonal changes: In pregnancy, menopause, or thyroid concerns result in hormonal changes which can lead to hair loss.
• Medical conditions: Scalp infections, alopecia areata, or autoimmune diseases can result in hair loss.
• Medications: Certain strong drugs for diseases like cancer, arthritis, depression, heart problems, and high blood pressure can cause hair loss.
• Nutritional deficiencies: Whenever there’s a lack of essential nutrients like iron, protein, and vitamins, it can weaken hair roots.
• Stress: Stress is considered a major cause of hair fall and can cause hair to shed temporarily.

Signs & Symptoms of Hair Loss

Different types of hair loss develop through various patterns that result from particular medical conditions. Early detection of hair loss symptoms enables health professionals to start treatment, which stops further hair loss progression.

• Excessive Hair Shedding: People who experience hair loss during the process of combing their hair or washing their hair, or finding it on their pillow, have an early indicator of upcoming hair loss.
• Thinning Hair: People experience hair loss through a process that makes their hair become thinner, starting from the top of their head until it reaches their hairline.
• Receding Hairline: Men who have male pattern baldness experience a gradual backward movement of their hairline.
• Bald Patches: The condition causes people to lose their hair suddenly, which creates small, round patches on their scalp and beard area.
• Weak or Fragile Hair: The roots of hair strands become weak, which leads to their transformation into a dry and brittle form that breaks with slight pressure.
• Increased Hair on Brush or Drain: People who observe their combs, brushes, and shower drains collecting too much hair should consider this as a sign that they are experiencing excessive hair loss.

Risks & Complications of Hair Loss

Although hair fall itself is not often considered a disease, it bears immense emotional and psychological aspects for the person. Chronic hair loss might result in the following:

• Negative body image: Hair is associated with beauty and being young, and when it is lost, the individual’s perception of himself/herself changes.
• Social Isolation: When people start losing hair, they start feeling conscious about their self-image, and so avoid social interactions as they feel embarrassed.
• Emotional distress: Hair fall can trigger anxiety and depression among patients, especially when it happens suddenly or at a young age, when people want to look and feel good about themselves.
• Other Health issues: Hair fall, in some cases, could be the first indication of a more serious condition like hyperthyroidism or an autoimmune condition that requires treatment.

Diagnosis of Hair Loss

The identification of hair loss causes through precise diagnosis enables the selection of suitable treatment methods. Doctors evaluate hair loss through three assessment techniques, which include examining medical records, conducting physical tests, and performing diagnostic procedures.

The following diagnostic techniques are commonly applied for medical assessment:

• Medical History Review: The doctor reviews lifestyle habits, diet, stress levels, medications, and family history to understand possible triggers of hair loss.
• Physical Examination of the Scalp: The examination of the scalp and hair reveals signs of hair loss through the detection of thinning hair, bald patches, scalp infections, dandruff, and scalp inflammation.
• Hair Pull Test: The test involves applying a light pull force on particular hair sections to assess hair shedding intensity.
• Blood Tests: Blood tests may be ordered to identify nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, thyroid disorders, and various other medical conditions.
• Scalp Analysis or Biopsy: In specific situations, doctors analyze a small scalp sample to investigate for infections or skin disorders that prevent hair development.

How Common Is Hair Loss?

More than 1 billion people around the world experience hair loss as a common medical issue. Both genders can experience hair loss, which can begin at any age but becomes more visible with increasing age. Multiple factors, including genetic make-up, hormonal fluctuations, stress levels, nutritional deficiencies, and existing medical conditions, can lead to hair thinning and excessive hair loss. The daily loss of 50 to 100 strands of hair represents typical hair shedding, but continuous or excessive hair loss requires medical assessment and treatment.

Ayurvedic Understanding of Hair Loss

In Ayurveda, hair health is closely connected to the balance of the three doshas-Vata, Pitta, and Kapha-as well as proper digestion and nourishment of body tissues. The body generates hair (Kesha) as a secondary product, which derives from Asthi Dhatu (bone tissue) when the body undergoes improper tissue nourishment. The result produces hair loss, together with thinning of hair.

The aggravated condition of Pitta dosha leads to increased body heat, which affects the scalp area and results in hair loss because it weakens hair roots. The combination of stress together with an unhealthy diet, poor digestion, and Ama toxin buildup leads to dosha imbalance, which results in hair loss.

The Ayurvedic approach to management involves dosha balance restoration together with Agni digestion improvement, body detoxification, and scalp and hair follicle nourishment through dietary and lifestyle modifications and herbal treatments to facilitate hair growth.

Jiva Ayurveda’s Treatment Approach for Hair Loss

Jiva Ayurveda provides a holistic treatment for hair loss using Ayurvedic principles. This approach aims to address the underlying causes of hair loss rather than merely controlling the symptoms. Ayurvedic principles state that hair loss may be caused by an imbalance of the doshas, digestion problems, stress, hormonal imbalance, and dietary problems. Jiva Ayurveda’s treatment for hair loss aims to balance the doshas, the scalp, and the hair roots for the natural growth of hair.

Core Principles of the Jiva Ayunique™ Treatment Philosophy

1. HACCP-Certified Ayurvedic Medicines

The herbal medicines of Jiva Ayurveda are prepared under strict quality and safety standards, such as HACCP certification, and are effective in providing nutrition to the scalp, strengthening hair follicles, and promoting natural hair growth.

• Hair-nourishing herbs: Herbal medicines are effective in strengthening hair roots and reducing hair loss. These herbs help in natural hair growth and improve the thickness of hair.
• Scalp health support: Ayurvedic medicines are effective in improving blood circulation in the scalp, thus providing nutrition to hair follicles and promoting natural hair growth.
• Balancing doshas: Ayurvedic herbal medicines are effective in balancing aggravated Pitta and Vata doshas, which cause hair loss and early hair thinning.

2. Dietary Changes

A balanced diet is also important for healthy hair growth. Proper nutrition helps to strengthen the hair roots, preventing excessive hair fall.

• Nutrient-rich food: Eating food rich in iron, protein, vitamins, and minerals helps to strengthen the hair roots.
• Hydrating food: Eating fresh fruits, vegetables, and grains helps to nourish the body, resulting in healthy scalp conditions.
• Avoiding unhealthy food: Avoiding excessive consumption of junk food, fried food, and sweet food helps to strengthen the hair roots.

3. Panchakarma & Therapeutic Practices

Some Ayurvedic treatments also help to maintain healthy hair growth. Panchakarma helps to cleanse the body, resulting in healthy hair growth.

• Detoxification: Panchakarma helps remove toxins called ‘Ama’ from the body, which affects hair growth.
• Shiro Abhyanga: Head massage with herbal oil helps to improve the scalp’s circulation, nourishing the hair follicles, and preventing hair dryness.
• Shirodhara: Shirodhara helps to calm the mind, reducing stress, which is one of the major reasons for hair fall.

4. Lifestyle Changes

A healthy lifestyle is also an important factor that helps prevent hair fall and promote hair growth.

• Stress management: Stress can cause hair loss, so proper management of stress is important.
• Proper sleep: Proper sleep is important for the growth of healthy hair.
• Healthy routine: Following a healthy routine can also promote healthy hair growth.

5. Yoga & Meditation

Practicing yoga and meditation helps promote healthy hair growth.

• Meditation: Meditation helps calm the mind, which can prevent hair loss due to stress.
• Yoga practices: Yoga practices help promote hair growth by increasing the flow of blood to the scalp.
• Pranayama: Pranayama helps increase the supply of oxygen in the body.

Patient Story- Sunita Tanwar

I had a severe hair loss problem for years. Shampoos and oils did nothing. I thought of taking Ayurveda treatment, but I was not sure about it. Then one day I saw Dr. Chauhan's TV program on hair problems and felt that Ayurveda could actually make a difference, and it did! Now I don't see hair on my pillow every morning. Thanks to Jiva.

Ayurvedic Medicines for Hair Loss

According to Ayurveda, Pitta imbalance, poor digestion (Agni), and the buildup of toxins (Ama) that weaken the hair roots are typically associated with hair loss. In order to promote healthy hair growth, Ayurvedic medications seek to balance the doshas, strengthen hair follicles, improve blood circulation, and nourish the scalp.

Common Ayurvedic medicines used for hair loss include:

• Bhringraj: Bhringraj, sometimes referred to as the "King of Herbs for Hair," strengthens hair roots, encourages hair growth, and lessens greying and early hair loss.
• Indian gooseberry, or amla: Amla, which is high in vitamin C and antioxidants, nourishes the scalp, enhances the texture of hair, and promotes healthier, stronger hair.
• Brahmi: Brahmi improves blood flow to the scalp and calms the mind, which helps lessen hair loss caused by stress.
• Ashwagandha: This adaptogenic herb helps manage stress and hormonal imbalance, which are common causes of hair fall.
• Neem: By lowering dandruff, infections, and inflammation that can cause hair loss, neem promotes the health of the scalp.
• Triphala: Triphala promotes better nutrient absorption and general hair health by aiding in the body's detoxification and digestion.

Prevention of Hair Loss

The prevention of hair loss requires people to follow a healthy lifestyle while they practice proper hair and scalp maintenance. People can develop stronger hair roots through their everyday activities, which support the process of natural hair growth.

• Maintain a Balanced Diet: Hair follicles receive nourishment from nutrient-rich foods, which include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and proteins.
• Manage Stress: Stress can be reduced through practices that include yoga and meditation, and people should stay active through exercise.
• Avoid Harsh Hair Products: People should restrict their usage of hair products that contain chemicals, and they should avoid applying heat to their hair and wearing hairstyles that put pressure on their hair roots.
• Keep the Scalp Clean: Dandruff and infections can be prevented through regular hair washing and scalp maintenance, which helps keep the scalp clean.
• Follow a Healthy Routine: The combination of proper sleep, hydration, and regular oil massage leads to better scalp circulation, which results in stronger hair.

When to See a Doctor?

It is better to consult a doctor if:

• Patchy and abrupt hair loss happens, which is accompanied by scalp tenderness or pain.
• There is more than normal hair loss while combing, bathing, or even sleeping.
• You notice sudden bald spots or thinning that affects your confidence.
• The hair continues to fall out in spite of the use of medicines and recommended lifestyle alterations.
• Hair loss is accompanied by other symptoms, like weight changes or fatigue, which could indicate a medical condition.
