Charaka Samhita states that hair fall (Khalitya) occurs when Pitta combined with Vata damages the hair roots. Excess heat, stress, and improper nutrition accelerate hair loss.
Bhringraj (Eclipta alba) is celebrated as the "king of hair tonics." Regular application of Bhringraj oil nourishes hair roots, prevents premature graying, and promotes new growth.
