ABSTRACT

The ancient health science of Ayurveda is originated from the India's rich cultural heritage. Numerous AyurvedicSamhitas have provided explanations of Palitaya (hair graying), while other classical literature classifies Kala andAkala Palitaya under Sir?akapalagata Roga and K?udra Roga Adhikara. The Akala Palitaya as a scalp conditiontypically linked to head area which includes Kesha Sauklya and Kala Purvapakva. In the current age, owing tochanged lifestyles, occupational pressures and psychic tensions, etc. are considered major causative factors ofPalitaya. Pollution from the environment, toxins and air, etc. is exogenous factors which have contributed to asteep increase in the prevalence of premature graying of hair. The main Dosha involving here are Pitta and VataDosha. Kapha Dosha induces Srotorodha, or blocking of body channels, which obstructs the nourishing stream.Furthermore, graying occurs because Rasa Dhatu is unable to provide the hair with the nutrients it needs since it isdamaged or poorly organized due to bad diet or lifestyle choices. Ayurveda suggested several modalities tomanage these Dosha and Rasa for addressing pathogenesis of Palitaya.
