Ayurveda is a form of alternative medicine originated in

India. Today Ayurveda is emerging as a safe and effective

way of treating several ailments including hair loss. The

advantage of Ayurveda treatment, as opposed to traditional

allopathic treatment, is that it does not cause any side

effects in human body. The treatment is also more cost

effective than most other traditional methods of hair loss

treatments and hair transplant surgeries.Hair loss, according

to Ayurveda, is caused by excess of "pitta" in our body.(3)

Main causes of pitta are higher intake of oily and spicy

foods as well as consumption of excessive tea, coffee, and

alcohol. Smoking is also a major culprit for abnormal pitta

level in our body.Hair loss may also be caused by anemia,

general weakness following a disease, anxiety, stress, intakeof too much medication and low blood circulation.

Ayurveda also cites hormonal imbalance, chronic diseases

like typhoid fever and presence of dandruff as other major

reasons for hair loss.(4)

Cause of hair fall:

1. Trauma, prolonged exposure to radiation therapy,

burns and surgery.(5)

2. A variety of prescription drugs have also been found

to trigger excessive shedding. These include ulcer

drugs, anti-coagulants, anti-depressants, betablockers, blood thinners and Parkinson medications.

3. Poor diet also plays a large contributing role in hair

loss. A diet low in vitamins A, C, E and B12 has

been known to result in brittle, unhealthy hair that is

prone to breakage and falling out.

4. Due to societal pressures, women are especially

vulnerable to the social discomfort and even

emotional trauma associated with early hair loss.(6)

OBJECTIVE:The objective of the current survey is to explore the

available brand in the market, which brand is most

acceptable and what is the composition of brand that is used

in the treatment of hair loss.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:The study is a part of field survey. In this survey data

collected from different outlets like medical store, general

store and fancy store(100) with the help of

questionnaires.(7)

FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION:

It has been found that out of 22 brands sesa oil,

keshking oil, Parachute oils, are the most available

brands in market. (table 1)It has been also found that

shampoos like Head & Shoulder Shampoo, Sesa

Shampoo, Clinic plus Shampoo, and Sunsilk Shampoo

are most available in market for the treatment of hair

loss. Also found that Aloevera, Amla, Bahera,

Bhringraj Brahmi, Harra, Mehndi, Neem, OliveOil,

Shikakai, yastiMadhu are the most useful herbal drugs

in the hair oil preparation.(table 2)

Some maintain that the balding process is mainly the

effect of hereditary factors that can be inherited from

either one of an individual's parents; although a person

may even have a predisposition towards hair loss if

both of his or her parents had full heads of hair.

This is due to a process known as spontaneous

mutation, whereby the genetic information changes at

conception.

Although hair loss in women can be contributed to a

range of environmental stressors including (but not

limited to) hormonal, nutritional, drug-associated, or

stress-associated factors, the most common cause is

androgenetic alopecia, a genetic sensitivity to the effect

males hormones (called androgens) have on hair

follicles.

Hair productsfrom shampoos and conditioners to

wax and moussedo not cause hair loss.

We can use these products as often as we like. We dont

need to use our shampoo or conditioner in rotation to

prevent hair loss. In fact, it is recommended that we

shampoo our hair every day.

CONCLUSION:Hair loss may also be caused by anemia, general weakness

following a disease, anxiety, stress, intake of too much

medication and low blood circulation. Ayurveda also cites

hormonal imbalance, chronic diseases like typhoid fever

and presence of dandruff as other major reasons for hair

loss. Ayurveda considers hair as a byproduct of bone

formation. The tissues from which the bones are formed are

responsible for the growth of your hair. Hair loss is morecommon in people who have straight and blonde hair. They

are also more likely to gray faster than thick and coarse

hair.

There are so many brands are available with different types

of treatments for hair loss. Depending on the causes of the

hair loss, remedies may be prescribed. In general, a

combination of treatment that includes herbal medicines

and oil massages along with a proper diet regime and stress-

relieving practices like yoga and meditation can be the

perfect solution to hair loss.
