According to Ayurveda, vitiated pitta is associated with vitiated vata, leading to hair loss. Vitiated rakta and Kapha can also block orifices of the hair follicles, restricting the growth of new hair. Alopecia areata is caused by an imbalance in doshas, which are energies in Ayurveda. Due to this autoimmune disorder, the immune system mistakenly attacks your hair follicles. Research shows that the causes behind the immune attack on hair follicles are not fully determined, but it is believed due to genetics and environment.

Agni Imbalance

Agni, which is the digestive fire, is considered central to Ayurvedic health. When the Agni is imbalanced due to poor digestion or toxins (ama), it will lead to vitiation of Pitta dosha. This triggers the autoimmune condition - alopecia areata.

Excessive Pitta Dosha

Pitta is known for governing metabolism and transformation in the human body. Excessive Pitta dosha is experienced due to stress, spicy foods, and environmental toxins. It will aggravate the hair follicles, leading to inflammation and hair loss.

Vata Imbalance

Vata is responsible for movement and circulation. When Vata is imbalanced due to factors like irregular lifestyle and poor diet, it can disrupt blood flow to your scalp and weaken hair follicles, contributing to alopecia areata.

Impaired Rasayana Function

Rasayana herbs and therapies in Ayurveda are aimed at rejuvenating tissues and promoting longevity. Impairment in Rasayana function because of lifestyle factors or genetic disposition will lead to alopecia areata.

Imbalance of Dhatus

Hair is considered a byproduct of bone tissue - asthi dhatu, according to Ayurveda. Therefore, an imbalance or impairment in bone tissue production will affect your hair health.

Toxin Accumulation

The accumulation of ama (toxins) is caused due to poor digestion and lifestyle habits. It will block the transport and movement of nutrition to the hair follicles, leading to hair loss.
