Does anger cause permanent hairloss?

Answered by Dr. Munish Sood (2 hours later)
Brief Answer:
further clarification

Detailed Answer:
Dear
Thanks for reverting back.

1. Since hair loss/fall can make one upset/ angry (emotional + physical) thus it is an aggravating factor for the same and hair loss will be there as long as the cause is present ( so it is not permanent)

2. In Ayurveda excess anger/stress (emotional component) aggravates PITTA DOSHA (fire element) in the body which gets accumulated in the skin of the scalp and lead to hair fall/loss and premature graying thus adopt a PITTA pacifying diet. (so again not a permanent cause).
