Field of the invention:
The present invention relates to a herbal hair oil which can be used for healthy growth of hair, hair loss and for treatment of damaged hair.

Background of the invention:
Hair loss is a common occurrence in both men and women with a number of contributing factors. Although a variety of medical treatments for hair loss are widely available, they are often expensive and come with a long list of potential side effects.
Ayurveda, the ancient Indian healing system, views hair loss as a symptom of the entire body's imbalance resulting from poor diet, stress, fatigue, smoking or excessive drinking. A number of Indian remedies using various herbs are available which stop hair loss and encourage new growth. The most common remedies for hair treatment are Herbal hair oils. Massaging these hair oils into the scalp enhances hair growth and helps to stimulate blood flow. They strengthen the hair and revitalize follicles so the hair grows faster and longer.
In Ayurveda, it is believed that loss of strongness of hair roots can be due to vitiated vata and pitta doshas which result in hair loss. Vata dosha is a combination of air and space and dominates the lower part of the body and accounts for the regulation of body functions and metabolism. Any vitiation in vata in the body can lead to several diseases like constipation, anxiety, dry skin, insomnia and cramps. Pitta dosha is characterized as the energy of digestion and metabolism. It represents the fire element in the body that helps in digestion and other metabolic activities. Any imbalance in pitta leads to high blood pressure, acidity, diarrhea, food allergies, insomnia, fevers, inflammatory diseases, heart problems, skin problems, jaundice, mouth ulcers, skin rashes, digestive disorders, hair loss, bad body odour, skin rashes, boils, acne, ulcers, weakness, fever and eye problems. Also due to vitiated kapha dosha and rakta dhatu, shrotorodh i.e. obstruction takes place in the flow of blood to the hair roots and it stops nourishment of hair. Kapha is a combination of water and earth element and is responsible for governing the lubrication and structure of the body. It holds all the cells together and forms the

muscles, bones, cells and sinew to give a basis for physical structure. Kapha dosha possess heavy, slow, solid, cold, soft and oily qualities. Any imbalance in kapha is characterized by lethargy, dull thinking, greediness, depression, slow reaction, drowsiness, obesity, congestion in throat and nose, nausea, diabetes, fever, edema, indigestion, pain in joints, high cholesterol levels, sinus, hay fever, gallbladder disorders, and several respiratory problems like asthma and wheezing. While rakta dhatu refers to the primary fire of the body with main reference to the blood, the health of rakta dhatu plays an important role in the health of pitta dosha.
