HELLO MUSKAN,
Hairfall and patchy hair loss on the scalp and eyebrows- especially when chronic and recurring- can be challenging to treat with underlying conditions like PCOD(polycystic ovarian disease). Since you’ve tried both allopathy and homeopathy relief, here lets see what ayurveda can do
Hair loss and patchy alopecia(including eyebrows) in Ayurveda may be linked to- -Pitta imbalance-> excess heat in the body damages hair follicles. -Vata imbalance -> dryness and poor nourishment to hair roots - Kapha imbalance-> blockages in hair follicles due to toxins - Aggravated rakta(blood tissues) or Asthi dhatu(bone tissue)-> weakening hair structure -PCOD-> hormonal imbalance disturbs metabolism and dhatu formation, affecting hair growth.
TREATMENT GOAL -correct hormonal imbalance (due to pcod) - stop hair fall and stimulate regrowth(scalp and eyebrows) - treat autoimmune/ inflammatory component(if alopecia aerate present) - nourish and rejuvinate hair tisues - support with diet, detox and lifestyle
Target is permanent reduction in patchy hair loss, hormonal balance, improved immunity, and sustainable regrowth of scalp and eyebrow hair.

hello muskan, You see, the kind of hair fall you’re having where it comes in patches and keeps coming back even on your eyebrows in Ayurveda we call it Indralupta. It’s not just regular hair fall. What’s happening is your body’s natural balance is disturbed especially the heat (Pitta), dryness (Vata), and blockages (Kapha).So Pitta gets high and kind of burns out the hair roots, Vata comes in and uproots them, and Kapha slows down or blocks the fresh regrowth. And because you also have PCOD, your hormones are already not stable which weakens your internal nutrition and affects your skin and hair tissues deeply. Especially when it comes on your eyebrows, it shows that there’s some weakness in your nervous tissue (what we call Majja Dhatu), and there’s a bit of excess heat in the blood too. That’s why even when you take treatment, as long as this root imbalance is not corrected, the patches keep coming back.So this time, instead of just applying things or taking temporary medicines, we’ll focus on calming down your system, balancing the hormones, and deeply nourishing your hair roots from the inside.

1 Ashwagandha Capsules – 1 capsule twice daily 2 Arogyavardhini Vati – 2 tablets twice daily after meals 3.Manjisthadi Kashayam – 15 ml with equal warm water before meals 4.Rasayan Vati – 1 tablet twice daily 5.Rajapravartini Vati – 2 tablets at bedtime for PCOD regulation
2. External Application (Hair & Eyebrows)
1.Make paste of Neeli Bringadi Taila + Triphala churna – apply on patches 3x/week 2.Use Keshya Rasayana oil or Neelibhringadi oil for regular scalp massage 3.For eyebrow patches: Apply Kumkumadi taila gently with ring finger daily
3. Diet and Lifestyle
Avoid curd, fried food, spicy food, and sour fruits Add ghee, sesame seeds, soaked raisins, almonds, moong dal, and methi in diet Drink jeera water daily for hormonal and digestion support Practice gentle yoga, especially for stress and PCOD Sleep before 10:30 PM and avoid screen after 9 PM
Optional Investigations Vitamin D, B12 AMH, LH, FSH, Testosterone Thyroid profile Fasting insulin and glucose
This condition needs patience and internal nourishment to reverse. Focus on strengthening your system from the inside, and slowly your hair will stop falling and begin to regrow even on eyebrows.

Considering your concern with recurring hair and eyebrow patches, it’s essential to view the issue through the lens of Ayurveda. Hair fall and bald patches are often connected to imbalances in pitta and vata doshas, alongside potentially weak dhatus (tissues) and agni (digestive fire). Let’s delve into some personalized recommendations based on Ayurvedic principles.
First, ensure your diet supports healthy hair growth. Integrate more cooling and nourishing foods to balance pitta, like cucumbers, gourds, and coconut water. Increase the intake of sesame seeds and nuts, which strengthen hair roots. Drinking amla juice regularly can also be beneficial as it enhances hair health and helps improves digestion.
For topical application, try making a paste of fresh amla (Indian gooseberry) and apply it to your scalp and eyebrows. Leave it on for 30 mins before rinsing. Bhringraj oil is known for its rejuvenating properties for hair growth; massaging this oil into your scalp twice a week could stimulate regrowth and improve blood circulation. Castor oil can be gently applied to eyebrows for patchy areas.
Daily lifestyle practices, such as yoga or meditation, can help to calm pitta imbalances often caused by stress. Regular pranayama (breathing exercises) can also support overall balance and health.
It’s crucial to ensure your digestive system functions well, so focus on stimulating agni through warm water with ginger and lemon before meals. Avoid overly spicy, oily, and fast foods, as they aggravate pitta and vata.
As this issue has persisted long term, it’s advisable to consult an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner who can tailor treatments through direct examination, possibly suggesting panchakarma therapies if needed. These therapies could offer a more structured and deeper cleanse to correct underlying imbalances.
One last word – while Ayurveda offers potential solutions, it’s equally important to address any underlying conditions that could be impacting your health, so continuous monitoring and evaluations are key.
