Re: Hair falling out

Dear Joanne,

The falling out of hair is mostly linked with the phenomenon Vata "hitting the top," meaning toxins are moving from the intestinal tract up into the head and hair folicles (see a description of this in The Key to Health and Rejuvenation). They serve an outlet for these toxins, but the side-effect is the loss of hair. This route of elimination is natural and predetermined as long as it doesn't get overtaxed.

You know that hair [and nails] is a waste product (mostly consisting of proteins) that the body needs to extrete in order to remain healthy. If there is an increased need for waste removal because the main exit routes such as the colon and liver are getting congested, more waste than usual has to travel upward into the head. Plus toxins end up there too. So the emphasis should not so much be on the hair, but on keeping the other organs of elimination clean and efficient. Even if nutrient components were missing in the sustenance of hair folicles, they are missing because foods are either not nourishing enough or are not digested properly. THis can be due to numerous reasons (as explained in The Key ....). Disrupting Vata in the colon, by eating meals at the wrong hours or sleeping too late, eating dead flesh foods such meat ,fish, poultry, being troubled by emotional issues, etc., can all cause or contribute to hair loss.
