Abstract: Premature greying of hair, known as "Palitya" in Ayurveda, reflects an imbalance in the body's doshas, particularly the aggravation of Pitta dosha. Ayurveda, an ancient holistic system of medicine, offers insights into the causes and treatments of premature greying by focusing on balancing the doshas and promoting overall well-being. Factors such as diet, lifestyle, stress, and genetics contribute to the onset of premature greying. Ayurvedic remedies involve dietary modifications, herbal supplements, and therapeutic treatments aimed at pacifying Pitta dosha and nourishing hair follicles. Herbs like Amla, Brahmi, and Bhringraj, along with therapies like Shirodhara and Abhyanga, play a pivotal role in restoring hair pigmentation and vitality. By embracing Ayurvedic principles, individuals can not only address premature greying but also foster holistic health and harmony within the body and mind.
