According to an interesting article I read about the causes of baldness and was surprised to know that the risk of hair loss is absolutely huge. Modern life brings benefits but also tremendous risks to our health. Stress, junk food, air pollution and many more factors can cause hair fall and it is visible today at a younger age than ever before.
Hair loss entails an embarrassment and emotional pain. Many times, hair loss is temporary but in some cases it can be permanent, and in any case you should visit your doctor immediately as soon as you notice hair loss.
Other causes of hair loss include too much vitamin A and anti-depressant therapy. Physical causes of hair loss include over- or under-active thyroid, certain fungal infections and hormonal imbalance. Underlying problems such as lupus or diabetes can also cause excessive hair loss.
Stress is a major factor for baldness, it can also trigger pattern baldness in women and men.
Baldness and thinning hair can be the result of:
- toxic substance
- intense radiation
- Illness and Ailments
- heredity
- Ageing
- hormonal imbalance
- nervous and stress disorders
There are many more reasons for baldness… You can read about them in the link below. I want to focus on how yoga can help prevent hair fall.
Yoga is a natural cure for baldness as it relieves stress. Stress makes you sick, it also accelerates aging, and yoga is also an age-old natural anti-aging tradition. Stress damages your hair too. It promotes excessive levels of DHT hormone levels which is the cause of pattern baldness and affects the growth cycle of your hair. Yoga does the opposite, it improves blood flow to any corner of the body including the scalp, providing better nutrition and oxygen to the hair follicles.
Yoga keeps you calm and in control. It stops the negative physiological process that stress brings, and offsets it to zero. When you are healthy in general – your hair is healthy too. Healthy skin and nails. You just look and feel so much better.
When you include yoga in your daily routine, your body will demand healthy food. The same happens in any sport. You’ll naturally prefer healthier foods and they’ll taste better. Healthy nutrition, vitamins and minerals will help grow shiny strong healthy hair and prevent hair loss. Yoga will lower your blood pressure and can also cure diseases. Some medical conditions, including the use of drugs, cause baldness. When yoga is practiced your physical condition improves and the condition of your hair also improves. I used to have a student who was suffering from hair loss. When she first entered my studio her hair was so thin you could see her entire scalp. Today after 6 months her hair is full and you cannot see her scalp. She told me she thinks it is because of my yoga lessons, as it has helped her stop taking anti-depressants. “I don’t need them anymore” she said “I have found the best anti depression meditation – Yoga”.
yoga can make you look so much better and it’s a great treatment of baldness, If your hair is falling then start doing yoga. This will remove some of the main causes of baldness and improve your overall health.
