Ayurvedic Treatment for Premature Grey Hair

Ayurvedic Treatment for Premature Grey Hair not only addresses the cosmetic concern, but also the serious underlying issues leading to the problem. The treatment is based on the Tridosha concept of Ayurveda and internal and external medications are prescribed. Diet and lifestyles are also modified to reverse the situation.

Hair and its colour, texture and style is an important part of a person’s looks. Regardless of age or sex, everyone wants beautiful hair that adds to their personality. Hairstyling is an expensive section in the highly prestigious cosmetic industry. Though people around the world are blessed with several natural hair colours from blonde to brown, almost everyone wants to look attractive with natural hair colours. In the younger generation, there is a trend of hair colouring and the choices go wild like blue, green, orange, golden and what not. A young person with a full head of brown, black, red, or blonde hair may notice thinning in certain areas of the head, or a change in hair colour as he turns older. In most cases, the hair turns grey or white. Commonly, the colour of the hair changes as the person gets older. Hair follicles, small sacs that line skin cells have pigment cells known as melanin. These cells give the hair its colour. But as time passes, hair follicles can lose pigment, resulting in white hair.

When this happens in young people or kids, it is known as premature grey hair. A lot of reasons are considered behind this phenomenon. Some cases are got better by treatment but some are not.
