Role of Certain Plant Ingredients on Hair Disorders.

Abstract

For maintaining healthy, attractive appearance hair has the vital role.  Hair problems are common and can diminish self-esteem and self confidence of a person. Many forms of hair problems, baldness,  alopecia, hair fall, gray hair, dryness, and most common dandruff require  clinical care by a health care professional. Hair is sensitive to changes in  the environment, diet, and overall health. Identifying these changes and  resorting to the wisdom of Ayurveda for their coping mechanisms can  help maintain good hair health. Ayurveda formulations always have  attracted considerable attention because of their good activity and  comparatively lesser side effects with synthetic drugs. This review gives  knowledge regarding the beneficial effects and recent progress of  medicinal plants for the treatment of hair disorders.
