Most people including you and me normally shed 50 to 100 strands of hair in a day. This is completely normal for us and doesn’t cause thinning of scalp hair. This is for the simple reason that new hair is always growing up there to take the place of the fallen. Cool isn’t it?
But this is not true or cool for a lot of us. There are many people around us who currently suffer from hair loss. This occurs when our cycle of hair growth and shedding gets disrupted. One might also suffer from hair loss when the hair follicle gets destroyed and then gets replaced with scar tissue.

Forget your heart or the brain for a while. The liver, which many of us ignore, plays many significant functions for a healthy life. In our obsession to keep our heart healthy and mind stress-free, we tend to forget that we need to cleanse our liver from time to time as well. In fact, the ancient tradition of fasting was meant for liver detoxification only!
A healthy liver is Important Because
- Liver maintains body metabolism and stay fit.
- It produces bile which is used by the digestive system to break down the fat. So if you wish to reduce your weight, liver detoxification is the way.
- It flushes out the toxins from the body thus, keeping you disease-free.
- A healthy liver is what gives your skin glow and lustre. It also keeps your hair shiny and full. All the skin problems or hair loss problems you are facing may find their trace due to liver disorder.
Liver Disorders According to Ayurveda
In Ayurveda terms Liver disorder is mainly due to excessive ‘Pitta Dosha’ which can be seen on your face through pigmentation or acne. It gets reflected in the health of your hair. You can also watch out for your behaviors. Excessive anger, irritation or even resentment reflects Pitta dosha. Indigestion, weak digestion or constipation can also be taken as symptoms of liver disorder.
Why Do We Need to Cleanse the Liver?
To make sure that you are fit as a horse and bouncy as a hare, you have to ensure the health and fitness of your liver first! Yes, your liver is the filter of your body and if it is clogged with toxins, the entire body gets filled with the same contaminants. Therefore remove the toxins at bay and your liver absolutely be well-functioning.
Natural Ways for Liver Detoxification
So when it comes to liver detoxification or restoring the health of this vital organ, nothing beats the treatments and herbal medications of Ayurveda which come without any side effect.
Ayurveda suggests that you can cleanse your liver and get rid of all toxins simply by making changes in your diet and lifestyle. Eating more fruits, drinking more water and increasing the intake of buttermilk during summers are simple habits that you need to incorporate in your lifestyle for a healthy liver.
One important thing to note is that – you must change your sleeping routine! Late night working or spending time on gadgets/laptops beyond 10 pm will aggravate Pitta dosha as it kicks into high gear between 10 pm to 2 am.
