How effective is Indraluptha Lepam for treating alopecia and hair regrowth?

Question

I’ve been dealing with sudden hair loss, and recently, I noticed small bald patches on my scalp. I consulted a dermatologist, and they diagnosed it as alopecia areata. They recommended steroid treatments, but I’m hesitant because of the possible side effects. I started researching Ayurvedic remedies and came across Indraluptha Lepam, which is said to be effective for hair regrowth in cases of alopecia.

From what I’ve read, Indraluptha Lepam is an herbal formulation used in Ayurveda to stimulate hair follicles, improve scalp health, and promote regrowth. It is said to balance Pitta and Vata doshas, which are believed to be the root causes of hair loss.

Has anyone here used Indraluptha Lepam for hair regrowth? How long did it take to see results? Also, do you have to use it daily, or is occasional application enough?

Another concern—are there any side effects of Indraluptha Lepam? Some Ayurvedic oils can cause irritation if not used properly. Should this lepam be used alone, or should it be combined with other hair treatments like scalp massages or herbal oils?

Would love to hear from anyone who has successfully used Ayurveda for alopecia treatment!

Indraluptha Lepam is an Ayurvedic formulation used for promoting hair regrowth, especially in conditions like alopecia areata. It is believed to stimulate hair follicles, improve circulation to the scalp, and balance Pitta and Vata doshas, which can be linked to hair loss.

Real Experiences:
Many users report noticeable improvements in hair growth and scalp health after using Indraluptha Lepam consistently for several weeks to a couple of months. However, results can vary depending on the severity of alopecia.
Application: It’s generally recommended for daily use to achieve the best results. However, some people find using it 3–4 times a week also yields good progress.
Side Effects:
Mild irritation may occur, especially if applied in excess or if you're sensitive to some herbs. It’s advised to perform a patch test before full application.
No major side effects are commonly reported, but like with most Ayurvedic oils, excessive use can cause greasy buildup.
Combining Treatments:
Scalp massage with herbal oils like Brahmi or Amla could complement the Lepam for improved circulation and nourishment. A healthy diet and stress management (through practices like yoga) can also enhance the effects.
If anyone has successfully used Indraluptha Lepam or other Ayurvedic remedies for alopecia, sharing your experience and tips would be greatly appreciated!
