Brief Summary
|
This study aims to observe scalp hair density using Trichoscope in healthy individuals of different Deha Prakriti (Vata, Pitta, Kapha). Prakriti influences natural hair features as described in Ayurveda, but these are mostly subjective. Using a Trichoscope, hair density will be measured scientifically at the vertex area of scalp. Hair pull test will be done for screening purpose. Hair density can be mild, moderate and high type which will be observed in Deha Prakriti. The study will analyze the association between scalp hair density and Prakriti. This helps in validating Ayurvedic concepts through modern tools. |
