HAIR LOSSWHAT DOES IT MEAN? WHAT'S CAUSING IT? WHAT CAN YOU DO?
Are you prone to a problem with 'Hair loss'?
Hair loss may happen when hair follicles are starved of blood, a cold condition in the capillary beds. Capillary beds of the skin tend to constrict when skin temperatures are cool as in hypothyroid. Hair loss may be secondary to chemotherapy. Hair loss may be hormonal. Pitta type hair loss occurs in "hot headed" individuals. Blood rushing to the brain can cause a heat condition and oily scalp that ultimately leads to hair loss. Disclaimer: Conditions such as 'Hair loss' that cause tissue changes could be serious and should be checked by a medical doctor. STAGE OF DISEASE 4 - TISSUE DISEASEIf you have symptoms in this category it means your imbalances have overwhelmed your body's resistance causing a full-fledged disease. Once imbalance reaches this stage it is more likely to cause acute or chronic conditions. You might be tempted to focus your attention on fighting symptoms in this category, but dismiss earlier warning signs of imbalance - i.e. symptoms in the stage 1 category. It is ideal to find and address the root causes weakening your system and remove them first. This ensures you are not adding fuel to the fire of disease. Once the root causes are removed, you can work on addressing the disease head on along with strengthening your body. This typically yields a quicker recovery and prevents recurrence. Ayurveda's preventative approach suggests you pay careful attention to every stage of disease development.ARE YOU NEW TO AYURVEDA?Are you wondering what Ayurveda is and how to use it for 'Hair loss' and health in general?
