Hello Radha,

Lichen planus, hair loss, and early menopause may be linked to immune imbalance and high Pitta aggravation in Ayurveda. Your clogged artery (atherosclerosis) also needs attention. Do you experience itching, burning on the skin, or scalp tenderness? Any hot flashes, mood changes, or heart palpitations?

For lichen planus and hair loss, apply Neem oil or Jatyadi Taila to the scalp and affected skin. Take Amla powder (1 tsp daily) for skin and hair nourishment. Tab MahaManjishthadi (1 tablet twice daily) helps detox the blood and reduce inflammation.

For hormonal balance, take Shatavari Churna (1 tsp with warm milk at night) and practice gentle yoga & stress management. Avoid spicy, oily, and processed foods. Drink Turmeric and Triphala tea to cleanse the system. Let me know your exact symptoms for a more personalized plan.

Oh dear, I can sense the frustration you’re going through, and it’s totally understandable. First off, let’s take a step back and look at this from an Ayurvedic perspective. Licen planus, you mentioned, typically correlates with pitta and vata imbalances, which can manifest as skin and hair issues. Your mixed symptoms might be your body’s way of indicating it’s not in harmony. And the thing about Ayurveda is, it helps address the root cause rather than just the symptoms.

Regarding hair fall and the skin condition, herbs like neem and turmeric are quite powerful. They’re known for their anti-inflammatory properties. Consider taking neem capsules or making a paste with turmeric and applying it to affected skin. A bit messy, I know, but worth it. Just make sure you’re not allergic. Coconut oil with a pinch of camphor might help soothe irritation on your scalp.

Your period stopping might hint at a nearing menopause, which ties into hormonal changes affecting your skin and hair. Ashwagandha could be helpful here, as it supports hormonal balance and can be calming for the mind - a little calm goes a long way.

Now, the heart condition is critical, and I wouldn’t suggest swapping out any medications without talking to your doc first. For diet, introducing heart-friendly foods like garlic, ginger, and spices like black pepper can support cardiovascular health. Keep your meals sattvic - mild and nourishing, easy to digest.

Being aware of stress is essential. Engage in calming routines like deep breathing, or if you’re up for it, a gentle yoga practice. Even a short, daily meditation. Aligning your mind might just be as important as any treatment.

I really encourage discussing all these with your Ayurvedic or healthcare practitioner. They can tailor these advises more specifically to you. Meanwhile, take gentle care of yourself, make sure you’re being kind. Maybe it’s the smallest shifts that make the biggest difference.
