Yoga is a holistic science, one that remedies most of our modern day problems. And though hair loss is triggered by various other factors, lifestyle choices heavily influence the rate at which you experience hair fall. Yoga with its systematic approach targets the different reasons for hair loss, reduces hair fall and promotes hair regrowth significantly.
