Role of Nimba Tail and Tiladi Tail Nasya in Khalitya - A Review

Abstract

Khalitya, commonly known as hair loss or baldness, is a prevalent condition that affects both men and women, often leading to psychological distress and a decrease in quality of life. In Ayurvedic medicine, the management of Khalitya involves the use of various herbs and oils to restore hair health and balance Doshas. Among these, Nimba Tail (Neem oil) and Tiladi Tail (a sesame oil-based formulation) Nasya have gained significant attention due to their therapeutic properties. Nimba Tail, known for its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and detoxifying effects, helps in treating scalp infections, reducing dandruff, and promoting overall hair growth by balancing Pitta and Kapha Doshas. Tiladi Tail, a combination of sesame oil and medicinal herbs, nourishes the hair follicles, improves circulation to the scalp, and strengthens the roots, aiding in the prevention of hair fall. Both oils are often used topically to rejuvenate the scalp, reduce excess heat, and enhance hair growth. This abstract explores the role of Nimba Tail and Tiladi Tail Nasya in managing Khalitya by addressing the root causes of hair loss through their synergistic effects on the scalp's health, follicular nourishment, and Dosha balance. The therapeutic potential of these oils, when used as part of a holistic Ayurvedic treatment approach, offers promising results in the prevention and management of hair loss.
