Practicing yoga relieves stress, but might not regrow hair.
There are several forms of yoga and all of them emphasize postures, or asanas and breath, or prana. Practicing yoga improves blood circulation, decreases anxiety and relieves stress. Hair loss is believed to partially caused by hereditary factors, poor nutrition, stress, poor scalp and hair care and poor circulation.
Scientific Evidence
There is no known scientific evidence to suggest that practicing yoga will result in the re-growth of hair, but some yoga experts suggest that because practicing yoga regularly is known to improve blood circulation and relieve stress, it might result in slowed, delayed or decreased hair loss.
Alternative Treatment
Ayurvedic hair and scalp treatments are derived from the ancient text for yogis (practitioners of yoga), the "Bhagavad Gita." There is a traditional association between healthy hair and overall well-being, and an herb called "Eclipta alba" is believed to promote hair growth. Other methods of treating hair loss include medicinal remedies and scalp massage.
Considerations
While yoga might be helpful in some cases, there are some conditions that respond to topical or oral treatments prescribed by a physician. Also, there are some medical conditions, such as alopecia or scalp ringworm that warrant a visit to the dermatologist.
