alopecia disease - #17254
A few months ago, I started noticing that my hair was falling out more than usual. It wasn’t just a few strands here and there—it seemed like I was losing chunks of hair, and my scalp started looking patchy. I was really concerned and went to the doctor, who diagnosed me with alopecia disease. I didn’t even know much about it, but when I looked it up, I found out that it’s an autoimmune condition where the body attacks its own hair follicles, leading to hair loss. I’ve been reading up on alopecia disease and how it works, but I still don’t fully understand why it happened to me. I don’t have a family history of alopecia, so it feels like this came out of nowhere. The doctor recommended some topical treatments and possibly steroid injections, but I want to explore natural treatments as well. I started researching Ayurveda because I’m looking for natural ways to address the root cause of alopecia disease rather than just managing the symptoms. Does Ayurveda have an explanation for why hair loss occurs, and does it view alopecia disease as an imbalance in the body’s energy or doshas? Are there Ayurvedic remedies that can help promote hair growth and strengthen the scalp? I read that herbs like Bhringraj, Amla, and Brahmi are used for hair health—do they actually help with alopecia disease, and how should they be applied? Also, should I be making dietary changes or using specific oils for my hair and scalp to improve overall health? If anyone has used Ayurveda to treat alopecia disease, what worked best for you? Did herbal treatments, oils, or lifestyle adjustments make a real difference in hair regrowth? I want to find a natural solution before relying on pharmaceutical treatments.
