Normally hair can be of different colors like black, brown, reddish etc. The pigment in the hair follicle determines the hair color. Usually, the pigment reduces with ageing resulting in white hair. But, reasons for premature greying of hair may be varied. In Ayurveda, the condition called Palita is explained, indicating whitening of hair.

  • Autoimmune diseases like Alopecia and Vitiligo
  • Stress, anxiety and other mental factors
  • Thyroid dysfunctions like hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism
  • Smoking

In Ayurveda the reasons for Palita are emphasized as mental factors like depression, anger and also physical exertion. These factors increase body temperature that affects scalp and as a result the hair color gets transformed gradually.
