Abstract : Hair fall (Intithar al-Sha’r) is a common concern affecting individuals worldwide, with various underlying causes such as genetic predisposition, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, stress, and environmental factors. Unani medicine, a traditional system of healing, offers a holistic approach to managing hair fall through dietary regulations (Ilaj bil Ghiza), lifestyle modifications (Tadbeer), and herbal formulations (Ilaj bil Dawa). This review explores the Unani perspective on hair fall, highlighting preventive and curative remedies, including time-tested herbal preparations like Roghan Amla, Roghan Bhangra, and Roghan Til, as well as internal medications such as Jawarish Amla and Majoon Murabbayat. Additionally, detoxification therapies (Munzij Mushil), scalp massages (Dalak), and dietary interventions play a crucial role in strengthening hair follicles and promoting regrowth. By integrating traditional wisdom with modern scientific insights, Unani medicine provides a comprehensive and natural approach to hair fall management.

Keywords : Hair fall, Intithar al-Sha’r, Unani Medicine, Herbal Remedies, Regrowth, Holistic Treatment.
