We can\u2019t help but get a little worried when we notice hair falling out as we brush \u2013 it\u2019s an instinctive feeling. But it\u2019s normal to lose around 50 to 100 hairs per day. This won\u2019t actually affect how thick your hair is because new hair is constantly replacing the hair that we lose. However, sometimes this cycle goes out of balance and hair starts to thin out. And hair loss can be quite distressing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Two kinds of hair loss – khalitya<\/strong> (gradual hair loss) and indralupta<\/strong> (sudden hair loss) \u2013 are described in ayurvedic texts. Acharya Charaka classified it under shiroroga. Khalitya is primarily a pitta dominant tridosha janya yyadhi i.e. vata, pitta, kapha with rakta dosha.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Many factors can lead to hair loss. Here\u2019s a look at the main causes of this condition:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Family History:<\/strong> The most common kind of hair loss is hereditary in nature and occurs as we age. This is also known as male-pattern baldness or female-pattern baldness or androgenic alopecia. Hair loss typically occurs in a certain pattern such as a receding hairline in men and hair loss along the crown for women.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Physical Or Emotional Stress:<\/strong> Some people experience thinning of hair for months after experiencing an emotionally or physically stressful event. However, this tends to be temporary in nature.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Nutritional Deficiencies:<\/strong> Not getting sufficient amounts of nutrients such as iron, protein, zinc, and biotin can lead to hair loss.[1]<\/sup><\/a>[Hair Loss].
