Doctors’ responses
Losing 10 kg in 2 years along with severe hair shedding suggests nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalance, or underlying health conditions (such as thyroid issues or anemia). Since you’re using Minoxidil, it’s great for hair regrowth, but you need internal support (diet, supplements, and scalp care) to see better results.

This scenario of weight loss and hair shedding seems to require a deeper understanding of underlying causes. From an Ayurvedic perspective, both conditions can be linked to an imbalance in your doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—and possibly aggravated by weak digestive fire (Agni). Let's explore how you can support your body.
Firstly, unexplained weight loss is concerning. If you haven't already, seeing a healthcare professional would be important to rule out anything serious. In Ayurveda, unexpected weight changes are sometimes a sign of Vata imbalance. Incorporating more ground foods, such as sweet potatoes, squashes, and stews, can help in nourishing and balancing Vata.
For your hair shedding and baldness, it's key to support hair growth naturally. Minoxidil is a common treatment but enhancing it with Ayurvedic practices could maximize its benefits. Specifically, I recommend:
1. **Dietary Support:** Pay attention to hair-nourishing foods. Include iron-rich foods like leafy greens and sesame seeds. Incorporate amla (Indian gooseberry), known for its high vitamin C content and hair-strengthening properties.
2. **Herbs:** Brahmi or Bhringraj in your routine, maybe as hair oil or an oral supplement, as these herbs are traditionally used to bolster hair health.
3. **Scalp Massage:** Regular oil massages with your existing oils like coconut and rosemary can encourage blood flow to hair follicles. A mixture of these with Brahmi and Bhringraj can be particularly effective.
4. **Avoid Stress:** Stress can exacerbate hair loss due to its impact on Pitta. Practicing daily calming techniques such as meditation or yoga may help reduce stress levels.
5. **Lifestyle Adjsutments:** Ensure you have sufficient rest, lean on a regular sleep pattern as irregular sleep can disrupt bodily functions.
Each body is unique, so consider these suggestions in conjunction with your personal circumstances. If symptoms persist, consult an Ayurvedic physician alongside your conventional healthcare provider for more specified solutions.
