Hair fall is more than just a surface-level concern. According to a 2023 Ministry of AYUSH report, over 30% of Indian adults experiencing chronic hair loss were also found to have gut or liver imbalances. This shows that your internal health directly impacts your hair.
At Dr Batra®, we look beyond the symptoms and focus on the root cause. Our personalised homeopathic treatment for hair fall addresses the internal issues—like digestion, detoxification, and hormonal balance—to restore healthy, long-term hair growth.
The Hidden Link Between Health and Hair Loss
Hair follicles are sensitive to systemic health. When something inside is off balance, your hair is often the first to show it.
- Nutritional deficiencies (Iron, Biotin, Zinc)
- Hormonal changes (Thyroid, PCOS, insulin resistance)
- Hormones, thyroid, PCOD, and stress cause hair loss, while anxiety can trigger Trichotillomania (hair pulling). Nutrition, sleep,and stress management help prevent it.
- Poor digestion and nutrient absorption
- Liver overload from processed foods or medications
- Chronic inflammation and autoimmune issues
How Gut Health Affects Hair
Your gut is where nutrients are broken down and absorbed. If it isn't functioning well, it leads to:
- Vitamin and mineral deficiencies
- Imbalanced gut microbiome affecting hormonal balance
- Increased inflammation that disrupts hair cycles
- Weakened immunity contributes to conditions like alopecia
Signs of gut-related hair loss include bloating, skin problems, fatigue, and recurring illness.
How Mental health affects hair loss
- Telogen Effluvium : Stress pushes hair into the resting phase, causing temporary shedding.
- Alopecia Areata : Severe stress triggers the immune system to attack hair follicles, causing patchy hair loss.
- Trichotillomania : Anxiety leads to compulsive hair-pulling.
- Hormonal Imbalance : Stress disrupts hormones like cortisol, affecting hair growth.
- Poor Self-Care : Depression/anxiety can lead to nutritional deficiencies and neglect of hair health.
Solutions: Manage stress, eat a balanced diet, exercise, practice self-care, and seek professional help if needed.
Liver Health and Hair Loss
The liver filters toxins and plays a key role in hormone regulation. When overburdened, it can:
- Disrupt hormone metabolism, leading to hair thinning
- Interfere with protein and nutrient processing
- Cause scalp inflammation and excess oil production
At Dr Batra®, we use gentle homeopathy to support liver detox and improve scalp and follicle health naturally.
Dr Batra’s® pro tip:
"When topical solutions fail, it's time to look within. Gut and liver health are the foundation of healthy hair."
