WHAT HAPPENS IN THE BODY In Ayurveda, hair is considered by product of bone tissue and nourished by rasa (body fluid) and rakta (blood) When these dhatus are weak or not nourished properly, the hair roots lose strength causing hair fall and thinnig

MAIN DOSHA INVOLVED -Pitta dosha becomes aggravated causing inflamamtion and damage in hair roots -Vata dosha increases due to age and causes dryness, weakness, and hairfall -Kapha dosha usually decreases, making the scalp dry and undernourished
SIMPLY Think of your hair like plants in a garden -If there’s too much heat (pitta), the roots get burned -If there’s too much dryness (vata), the soil loses moisture -If the nourishing water (rasa dhatu) and minerals (rakta dhatu) are less, growth weakens

Hair loss in the frontal area of the scalp can be attributed to several factors. In Ayurveda, hair health is largely influenced by the balance of doshas, particularly Pitta. At the age of 60, Vata dosha can also be a contributing factor due to natural aging processes. An imbalance in these doshas might result in thinning of the hair and others problems in the scalp.
One primary cause could be hormonal changes, common at this stage in life, affecting the hair follicles. In Ayurveda, this can be related to both Pitta aggravation and the degeneration aspect of high Vata. It’s essential to address these imbalances holistically. Stress, anxiety and lifestyle factors also play a significant role in accelerating hair loss, particularly in the form of pattern baldness seen in the frontal area.
To tackle this issue, consider dietary improvements to pacify Pitta and Vata. Consuming foods that are cooling and nourishing, like fresh fruits, juices, coconut water, and aloe vera, can help balance Pitta. Include healthy fats like ghee and sesame oil for Vata pacification. Iron, zinc, and vitamin-D rich foods are essential—they nourish the hair roots. Avoid excessive spicy, oily, and fermented foods that may provoke Pitta.
Scalp massage with herbal oils, such as Amla oil or Bhringraj oil, can be beneficial. Massage gently during evenings to promote blood circulation and strengthen hair follicles. Utilizing herbal treatments like Brahmi powder in the form of pack could support. managing stress through practices like yoga, pranayama and meditation aid in calming the mind and reducing excess Vata-Pitta influences.
Ensure proper sleep, as irregular sleep disrupts all doshas and hampers hair health. If the thinning is significantly severe, considering speaking with a professional for personalized Ayurvedic remedies, or even modern treatments, would be prudent. Persisting hair loss may require deeper intervention to prevent further thinning and to address underlying causes effectively.
At your age, hair loss in the front area of the scalp can often be attributed to what we in Siddha-Ayurvedic practices refer to as imbalance of the body’s doshas, particularly Vata dosha. This type of hair thinning or baldness, known as “Khalitya” in our tradition, is a common result of increased Vata and sometimes Pitta, which can lead to weakening of the hair roots. Over time, these imbalances may affect the hair’s support system, causing the hair to become scanty and revealing more of the scalp underneath.
Aside from dosha imbalances, aging naturally affects all seven dhatus, or tissue systems, with a general decline in bodily functions, including the regeneration of hair follicles. Poor dietary habits, high stress levels, lack of proper scalp care, or an overactive Agni can exacerbate this condition, leading to worsening hair texture and further loss.
To address this condition, first, it’s advisable to nourish the scalp and hair root directly. Massaging the scalp gently with coconut oil or sesame oil, enriched with Bhringraj and Amala, known for their rejuvenating properties, can help soothing Vata and Pitta. Do this 2-3 times a week. Encourge circulation by applying gentle pressure in circular motions. Diet-wise, aim for foods that balance Vata like warm, moist, and nourishing foods, avoiding excessively dry or cold preparations. Include ghee or clarified butter in your meals, as it aids in moistening and strengthening body tissues.
Additionally, taking herbal supplements that balance the body’s doshas like Triphala can be beneficial. Triphala supports digestion and helps clear toxins, hence enhancing nutrient absorption for better hair health. Practicing stress-reducing activities such as yoga or meditation can also help stabilize Vata within the body.
If you notice severe or rapidly changing hair loss, it may be wise to consult a healthcare professional to explore underlying conditions. Nonetheless, following these Siddha-Ayurvedic guidance can support you in maintaining and nurturing your hair health.
