How to know hair follicles are active or not?

 Many men during online consultation used to ask me  " How will I know, if my hair follicle is active or not? " Here are a few ways 👇 Observe Hair Growth: If you see fine, short hair (vellus hair) or longer, thicker hair (terminal hair) in the area, follicles are active.

This can lead to the formation of ama (toxins), which Ayurveda identifies as the root cause of many diseases. Refined bread, in particular, i...
