AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT OF KHALITYA (HAIR FALL)

Ayurveda, a vast repository of ancient knowledge, provides in-depth insights into both systemic and localized diseases, including minor conditions. Hair loss, affecting approximately 1.7% of the global population, is one such challenge that poses a significant concern for healthcare professionals. In Ayurveda, hair loss is referred to as Khalitya, categorized under KshudraRoga (minor diseases) or Shiroroga (diseases of the head and scalp). This progressive condition is increasingly common among individuals with sedentary lifestyles, stressful routines, and poor dietary habits, leading to imbalances and deficiencies in the body, which ultimately manifest in hair loss. Ayurveda offers a holistic approach to managing and reducing hair fall through lifestyle modifications, purification therapies, and targeted medications.
