Yoga against Hair Loss

The ancient art of yoga has been practiced since 3,000 B.C. Although seen mostly as a form of physical fitness in the West, it is a philosophical practice.

Today, yoga is used to gain strength and flexibility, relieve stress and anxiety and even treat certain health conditions. There are a number of different styles of yoga. There are postures that facilitate the reduction of extreme stress, indigestion, anxiety and poor blood circulation in the head, all of which cause hair loss.
