डॉक्टरों की प्रतिक्रियाएं

Hello Farha

I can understand your concern about Hair fall and brittle nails which is persisting for many years indicate deep-seated weakness of Asthi and Majja Dhatu (bone and marrow tissues) in Ayurveda but dont worry we are here to help you out 😊

✅PROBABLE CAUSES

Irregular eating or skipping meals Low protein and Rasayana-rich diet Chronic stress or sleep disturbances Excess use of chemical hair products or heat styling Deficiency of minerals like iron, zinc, and biotin Poor absorption due to weak digestive fire

✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION (for nourishment & regrowth)

1 Bhringraj Churna – ½ tsp twice daily with warm water or after food ( Strengthens hair roots, reduces hair fall, and improves pigmentation)

2 Groo 1 tablet twice daily after food (Rich in folate and minerals, supports nail and hair growth)

3 Drakshavaleha – 1 tsp twice daily with warm milk ( Nourishes dhatus, improves appetite, and reduces stress)

✅EXTERNAL APPLICATION (Hair Oils)

Use following medicated oil 3–4 times a week (slightly warm): Neelibhringadi Taila – for chronic hair thinning, improves scalp blood flow.

How to use: Warm oil slightly and massage gently for 10–15 mins. Leave overnight or for minimum 1 hour. Wash with herbal shampoo (Aloe vera, Amla, or Shikakai-based). Avoid chemical-laden shampoos and conditioners.

✅DIET AND LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION

✅ Include in diet: Cow ghee – 1 tsp daily for internal oleation Fresh fruits (amla, pomegranate, dates, coconut water) Black sesame seeds (1 tsp roasted daily) Soaked almonds & walnuts in morning Milk + turmeric + ghee at night for nourishment Moong dal, rice gruel, methi, drumstick, curry leaves

❌ Avoid

Fried, spicy, sour, and junk food Stress, late-night sleep, fasting for long hours Excess tea, coffee, alcohol, or smoking

✅ SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES

Amla + Bhringraj juice – 10 ml each in the morning on empty stomach. Coconut oil + Castor oil (1:1) – warm and massage scalp twice a week. Aloe vera pulp – apply directly on scalp once a week to cool and nourish roots. Drink 1 glass of milk with 1 tsp ghee and ½ tsp Ashwagandha churna at bedtime – improves strength, immunity, and hair growth.

Wishing you a good health😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

Hair fall and brittle nails often indicate an imbalance in your body, primarily relating to Vata dosha. Ayurveda suggests addressing the root cause through diet, lifestyle, and herbal support, rather than only focusing on external treatments like hair oils. However, for immediate topical relief, you can try a natural oil such as Bhringraj oil, which is traditionally used for hair growth and scalp nourishment. Massage it gently into your scalp 2-3 times a week, preferably at night, and leave it on overnight for best results.

Internally, include foods that balance Vata – warm, moist, and wholesome foods. Favor cooked vegetables, whole grains like rice and warm soups. Drink lukewarm water throughout the day to stay hydrated and assist digestion. Adding healthy fats into your diet like ghee and sesame oil also supports nourishments of tissues, including your hair and nails.

Gut health plays a crucial role in how nutrients are absorbed, so ensuring a strong digestive fire, or ‘agni’, is vital. Consider consuming a warm ginger tea before meals to boost digestion. Avoid cold foods, raw salads, or anything that can disrupt your digestive balance.

For herbal supplements, Amla, rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants, can strengthen hair and nails. It can be consumed in powder form along with water daily. Another powerful herb is Ashwagandha, known for its adaptogenic properties which might reduce stress, a major contributor to hair fall.

Develop a regular routine with emphasis on moderation and consistency. Practice Yoga or meditation, to relieve stress and improve blood circulation to your extremities, promoting healthier hair and nail growth. Finally, ensure you’re getting enough vitamins and minerals, particularly Iron, Zinc, and Omega-3, as their deficiencies often play a direct role in hair and nail health.

Please consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized advice, especially regarding supplements to ensure they do not interact with your current health conditions or medications.

Addressing long-term hair fall and brittle nails often relates to an imbalance in your body’s doshas, particularly Vata and Pitta. These imbalances can affect the hair’s roots and the quality of nails, all linked to the health of rasa and rakta dhatus (nutrient and blood tissues). First off, as an immediate and practical remedy, consider using Bhringaraj oil, known for promoting hair growth and health. Warm the oil gently and massage it into your scalp thrice weekly, preferably in the evening to allow it to penetrate overnight. This not only nourishes the hair roots but calms Vata imbalances, often responsible for weak hair and nails.

For internal support, Ashwagandha can be helpful to stabilize Pitta and support dhatus’ nourishment. A teaspoon of Ashwagandha powder with warm milk in the evening can suffice. However, always consult with a practitioner before starting any herb.

Dietary adjustments can also play a pivotal role. Incorporate foods high in calcium, iron, and silica like leafy greens, nuts, and seeds into your meals to strengthen both hair and nails. Hydration is vital, so ensure you drink plenty of warm water throughout the day to help balance Vata and maintain adequate hydration.

Lastly, pay attention to stress levels as chronic stress exacerbates Pitta and hair fall. Daily practices like yoga or meditation can help balance your body’s doshas and improve general well-being. If your condition doesn’t improve, it’s crucial to consult a healthcare professional to rule out other underlying issues.
