hello Mr.Dineshkumaar,

You are facing thinning hair on the upper scalp, excessive hair fall, dandruff, and a small patch of baldness. This condition is often caused by a combination of nutritional deficiencies, stress, irregular lifestyle, and scalp imbalance. Being away from home and having a poor diet can deprive your body of essential vitamins and minerals that maintain hair health. Dandruff suggests scalp inflammation, dryness, or mild fungal overgrowth, which weakens hair follicles. The visible scalp and the small bald patch indicate that hair roots are currently weak and need strengthening. Ayurvedic management focuses on digestive balance (Ama Pachana), nourishing hair roots, calming scalp inflammation, and promoting hair regrowth naturally. With consistent internal medicine, external therapy, and dietary adjustments, hair fall can be reduced and regrowth encouraged over time.

Prescription: , start with :

Ama Pachana (first 3 days):

Hingwashtak Churna: ½ tsp with warm water before meals, twice daily

Internal Medicines (from day 4 onwards):

Bhringraj Churna: ½ tsp twice daily with warm milk – strengthens hair roots and promotes hair regrowth

Brahmi Churna: ½ tsp twice daily with water – reduces stress, calms Vata, and nourishes scalp

Amla Churna: ½ tsp in warm water in the morning – provides Vitamin C, strengthens hair, reduces graying

Ashwagandha Churna: ½ tsp at night with warm milk – improves immunity, reduces stress-related hair fall

External Therapy:

Bhringraj oil massage on scalp 3–4 times per week, leave for 1–2 hours before washing – nourishes follicles and reduces hair fall

Neem + Amla hair pack once a week – reduces dandruff, calms scalp inflammation, and promotes healthy hair growth

Avoid excessive shampooing; use mild herbal shampoo 2–3 times per week

Diet & Food Nature:

Include: Fresh fruits (papaya, guava, berries), green leafy vegetables, nuts (almonds, walnuts), sesame seeds, whole grains, lentils, eggs or plant protein, flaxseeds

Hydration: Drink plenty of water, herbal teas like fennel, tulsi, or ginger

Avoid: Junk food, fried/oily foods, packaged snacks, excessive caffeine, processed sugar Consider adding coconut water or buttermilk to improve digestion and hydration, which supports hair health

Investigations & Follow-up:

Thyroid profile (T3, T4, TSH) to rule out thyroid-related hair fall CBC, Vitamin B12, iron, and zinc levels Follow-up after 3–4 weeks to assess reduction in hair fall, improvement in scalp condition, and initial regrowth of hair Track hair fall daily and note areas of improvement for accurate follow-up

Warm regards & Concern:

Hair regrowth is gradual; visible changes may take 1–3 months Consistency in internal medicine, oil massage, and diet is crucial Minimize stress, maintain good sleep, and avoid harsh chemical hair treatments

Early intervention improves the chances of restoring hair density and scalp health

Regards, Dr.karthika

Don’t worry — with proper scalp care, nutrition, and Ayurveda regimen, hair regrowth is possible in many cases (though it can be slow).

• Triphala churna – 1 tsp at night with warm water • Amla powder– daily morning • Bhringraj churna / Bhringraj vati – 250–500 mg twice daily with warm water. • Chyawanprash – daily 1 tsp at morning

Addressing hair fall and promoting hair growth in Ayurveda centers around balancing doshas, particularly Pitta, calming the mind, nourishing the dhatus, and supporting new hair follicle production. Thin, hair and visible scalp along with dandruff could indicate an imbalance in Pitta dosha, potentially exacerbated by Vata.

To start, focus on your diet as it’s a fundamental part of maintaining healthy hair. Include foods rich in proteins, omega-3 fatty acids, iron, and vitamins. Consume seasonal fruits and leafy greens, like spinach and methi, which supply vital nutrients. Flax seeds, walnuts, and almonds also provide essential fatty acids that are beneficial.

Incorporate Ayurvedic herbs like bhringraj, amla, and neem into your routine. You might want to apply a bhringraj or amla-based oil to your scalp twice a week. Massage the oil gently in circular motions an hour before you shower, as this improves blood circulation and nourishes the hair roots.

For dandruff, using neem oil or a paste made from neem leaves can help combat the fungal infections that often cause it. Apply this liberally onto your scalp at least twice a week before washing your hair.

Stick to a regular sleep schedule, aiming for 7-8 hours a night, and manage stress through yoga, meditation, or pranayama practices. They’re excellent for calming the mind and pacifying Vata dosha, both of which can significantly affect hair health.

Using a herbal shampoo, maybe one with reetha or shikakai, will help keep the scalp clean without stripping essential oils. Avoid harsh chemicals and heat treatments that damage hair further. Also, ensure you wash your hair with lukewarm water, as hot water can exacerbate Pitta imbalance.

Hair thinning, dandruff, and high hair fall are common concerns that can often be managed with some dietary and lifestyle adjustments grounded in Ayurvedic principles. From your description, it sounds like there might be a vitiation of the Pitta dosha, which can contribute to hair loss and a sensitive scalp. Let’s address these issues step by step:

First, focus on your diet, aiming to include more cooling and nourishing foods, since you mentioned a poor diet. Incorporate foods like cucumbers, melons, and leafy greens which help balance Pitta. Avoid spicy, oily, and fried foods as they can increase Pitta aggravation. Hydration is key; drink plenty of water and add turmeric and amla (Indian gooseberry) into your meals, which is beneficial for skin and hair health.

For scalp health and hair fall, consider a weekly massage with coconut or sesame oil infused with bhringraj or neem. These are known in Ayurveda to strengthen hair roots and soothe irritated scalp. Gently massage in circular motions, focusing on the scalp. Leave it for at least an hour before washing with a gentle, natural shampoo. Avoid hot water as it can strip the scalp of natural oils, further aggravating Pitta.

Managing stress is crucial, as it can exacerbate hair loss. Try meditation or yoga to calm your mind. Ensure adequate sleep, since it helps in rejuvenating bodily systems including the hair.

Dandruff may also suggest an imbalance. Use a neem-based shampoo to cleanse the scalp without harsh chemicals. Preparing a rinse with water and a few drops of tea tree oil can be effective in flushing excess sebum and preventing fungal growth.

Additionally, ensure that your exposure to harsh environmental conditions like sun and pollution is minimized. Cover your head with a hat or scarf when outdoors.

If hair fall persists or if the patch size increases, consult a dermatologist or healthcare provider to rule out more serious conditions. It’s vital to address underlying health issues that could contribute to hair loss. Remember, consistency and patience are key in restoring healthy hair over time.
