Abstract:
In Ayurveda increased falling of hair is termed as Khalitya(hair fall). In modern era due to extremely busy schedule, pollution and unhealthy diet, hair fall is increasing day by day, and the main victims who are facing this problem are youngsters. It affects approximately 1.7% of world population. Susceptibility of hair fall is more in males than in females. Ayurvedic treatment of Khalitya includesNasya, Virechana, Leech therapy, Rasayana, Abhyang, different type of Lepa &Yoga. In the present clinical study two groups were taken with 20 patients in each group. ShwadanshtradiRasayana and MadhukadiTailaNasya in Group A and ShwadanshtradiRasayana and MadhukadiLepa in Group B was taken. 31.43% relief was seen in Group A and 18.42% relief was seen in Group B. This proves that Ayurveda treatment helps in terminating the Samprapti of Khalitya and resulting in the alleviation of vitiated Doshas by which reduction of hair fall was achieved.
