Abstract

Introduction: The traditional Indian medical system of Ayurveda employs the  term Khalitya (~Hair fall) to describe hair loss, while the premature greying of  hair is denoted by the term Palitya (~ Hair greying). Khalitya and Palitya are  classified as Paitik (~dosha regulating body temperature and metabolic  activities) disorders, which originate from the Dosha (~the regulatory  functional factors of the body formed by the synchronized interplay between  the five basic elements within any living system) known as Pitta. According  to Ayurvedic principles, consistent disruption of the Pittadosha (~dosha regulating body temperature and metabolic activities), which represents the  body’s heat and metabolism, may result in premature greying of hair. As per  Ayurveda principles, the consumption of substances that enhance Pitta can  lead to an aggravation of Pittadosha (~dosha regulating body temperature and  metabolic activities), which is believed to be a contributing factor in the  manifestation of grey hair.  Materials and methods: Palitya (~premature greying of hair) information is  gathered from many Ayurvedic and modern medical textbooks, magazines,  journals, and the internet. It is a review paper with data gathered from all  relevant sources.  Result: All of the aforementioned formulations were acquired as a result of  premature greying of hair.  Discussion & Conclusion: Ayurveda has been identified as a viable  alternative therapeutic approach for the condition of premature greying that  was natural and harmless.
