• Palitya roga is categorized under Kshudra Rogas.
• The Bhrajaka pitta is a sub-type of Pitta, which is responsible for the natural color and complexion of your hair and skin.
• In modern point of view Bhrajaka pitta is attributed to melanocytes that produce melanin pigment, melanin is responsible for the natural color and complexion of your hair.
• Imbalance in Bhrajaka Pitta reduces melanin production, which in turn results in premature graying hair.
