What is the root cause of hair loss? - #17733
For the past few months, my hair has been falling out way more than usual. At first, I thought it was just temporary, maybe due to stress or seasonal changes, but it hasn’t stopped. Now, every time I run my fingers through my hair, I see multiple strands falling, and my hairbrush is full after just one use. It’s really starting to worry me. So now I need to know—what is the root cause of hair loss? I’ve tried switching shampoos, using different oils, and even applying DIY hair masks, but nothing seems to be making a difference. Some days, my scalp feels itchy, and I notice more hair shedding than normal. Could this be related to diet, hormones, or something deeper? I also heard that Ayurveda focuses on imbalances in doshas when it comes to hair loss. How do I know if my hair loss is linked to a Vata, Pitta, or Kapha imbalance? And if that’s the case, what’s the best way to restore balance? Another thing I’ve been thinking about is nutrition. I don’t always eat a balanced diet, and I skip meals sometimes. Could a deficiency in certain vitamins or minerals be the reason my hair is falling out? What is the root cause of hair loss when it happens suddenly like this? Should I get any tests done, or can I figure it out through symptoms alone? I really want to stop this before it gets worse. What is the root cause of hair loss, and how do I find out what’s affecting me specifically? If there are Ayurvedic herbs or treatments that actually work for this, I’d love to know what I should try.
