Table of Content
Introduction
My journey with Ayurveda and Anjali began in July 2013. I had been suffering from severe hair loss and very unhealthy hair for the past year. I was already taking some supplements and applying different modern hair loss products but still the hair fall did not abate and seemed to be getting worse. I mentioned this to my friend Anjali and this was the beginning of my voyage to a healthy scalp with beautiful luscious hair.
Anjali Kumar of Bavdhan is an Ayurveda practitioner with a bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine degree and Surgery in India.
Ayurveda is a classical system of medicine founded 5,000 years ago. The word is derived from Sanskrit, the ancient Indian language, and translates into knowledge of life,
Ayurveda provides recommendations regarding food, lifestyle and traditional remedies so that healthy people will remain strong and healthy and sick people will improve their symptoms and wellbeing. Ayurveda achieves such great success in healing by harmonizing mind, body and spirit.
I am 39 years old. My hair had constantly been falling over the past year and appeared to accelerated at a shockingly rate. I started coloring my gray hair with store bought expensive permanent color when I was only in my early 30s. The years went by and the gray kept coming in more rapidly, which prompted me to step up my dyeing routine, covering my hair with chemical dyes every 3 weeks. Eventually, not only did gray roots appear after a week, but also my hair started falling at a rapid rate. The harsh chemicals I had been applying for all that time had made my facial skin pale and dull.
The skin around my eyes was dark and dry. I had started taking biotin supplements for more than a year, yet the hair fall did not abate. I started cutting ten inches of my waist length hair to just below my chin. My hair now looked washed-out, dry, frizzy, lackluster and brittle, which was the result of abusing it for years with harsh chemicals.
I was ready for a change. Anjali gave me a shopping list of herbs to buy and instructions on how to apply them to my scalp. After four months of religiously following Anjalis advice and applying her Ayurvedic remedies, I noticed my hair was falling less and was growing at a faster rate. I also noticed that fresh black hair was coming in with my gray roots. I was actually growing new hair and my hair was getting thicker day by day, week after week.
Ayurveda has changed my life. My hair is at last healthy, shiny, vibrant and long. Even my skin looks better.
This life changing experience has encouraged me to learn more about this ancient art of healing and its power to transform peoples lives. I hope that through this book I will be able to transform your life as well. I assure you that not only will your hair stop falling out and start growing back, but you will feel the added side-benefit of a healthier, more vibrant life.

Chapter 1 - Understanding Hair Loss
Hair loss is a very common condition and can happen to anyone. Being considered to give someone beauty appeal, hair loss can immensely affect not only someones appearance, but most importantly someones emotional, psychological and social aspect. Hence, the loss of it could be devastating to a person. It could create a strong negative impact on the overall wellbeing of the person.
There are millions of hair loss sufferers all over the world, comprised of 60% males and 40% females. In a recent study, it was garnered that almost a million hair loss sufferers sought medical treatment to prevent hair loss. There are many treatments that boast of cessation of hair loss and promotion of hair regrowth. However, not all of them are proven to be effective. Ayurveda hair loss remedies have gained worldwide popularity because they are proven safe, all natural and highly successful in treating hair loss and stimulating regrowth.
To better understand why hair loss occurs and how that can be prevented, one should have a thorough understanding of the science of hair and its growth first.
What is hair?
For an average person, the head hair is composed of around one million follicles during the 22 nd week in the womb of the mother. This number will be the hair follicles of the individual for the whole lifetime, as hair follicles are not produced anymore after delivery from the womb.
The hair is composed of 2 distinct features:
- Roots these can be found inside the skin (just under the scalp). Each hair root has a pouch-like structure known as follicle. This pouch has nerve fibers and capillaries.
- Shafts the strands visible on top of the scalp. It is composed of three layers, with the cuticle at the outermost layer, medulla in the innermost and cortex in between cuticle and medulla.
The hair grows about 6 inches per year. According to statistics, there are about 40-50% women with long hair (up to the shoulder blades). It may not be a surprise that studies revealed that men prefer women with long, straight, flowing hair. Consequently, women feel more feminine and attractive when wearing long hairstyles.
Normally, there is a loss of around 100 strands per 100,000 hair follicles per day. When it is more than this, then it could be alarming. It could lead to gross hair fall resulting to thinning of hair (for women) and development of bald patches (for men). This could be a scary experience for both males and females. Hence, prevention of hair loss and maintenance of healthy hair are the priorities for many.
The causes of abnormal fall and loss of hair can vary from the following factors:
- Heredity
- Underlying medical conditions
- Stress
- Anemia
- Poor diet
- Deficiency in Vitamin B6 and folic acid
- Unclean scalp
