Hair fall happens due to nutritional deficiencies, stress, malabsorption , untime food intake, excessive intake of Suhar, maida , fried food , lack of exercise etc.

It’s advisable to get a blood check-up and thyroid profile done.

Alopecia areata, characterized by hair thinning and potential nail changes, can indeed be distressing. In Ayurveda, this condition is often linked to an imbalance in the doshas, primarily Vata and Pitta. These imbalances affect the body’s tissues (or dhatus), particularly the hair and nails. Here’s a holistic approach to managing these concerns:

Begin with your diet — it’s key in Ayurveda. Incorporate nourishing foods like ghee, almonds, and sesame seeds to promote healthy hair and nails. If you’re experiencing increased Pitta, try to reduce spicy, fried or excessively sour foods which may aggravate this dosha. Favor cooling, soothing foods like cucumber, zucchini, and leafy greens. Ensure your meals are regular and not overly cold or dry, which could aggravate Vata.

Herbal remedies can be helpful. Bhringraj and Amla are renowned in Ayurveda for promoting hair health. You could either consume Amla juice daily in the morning or massaging bhringraj oil into the scalp gently, focusing on the hairline area where you experience itchiness. This not only nourishes the scalp but provides a calming effect, which can aid in hair retention.

For nail health, consider massages with coconut oil or castor oil, which might help in reducing the coarseness and nourish the nails deeply.

Stress and anxiety often play a role in hair loss. Daily practices such as meditation or gentle yoga, particularly poses that increase circulation to the scalp like downward facing dog, can be beneficial. Aim for a consistent routine, as regularity pacifies aggravated Vata.

Avoid using harsh chemicals on your hair such as colorants or heat treatments, which can add to thinning. Opt for natural products and wash your hair gently without aggressive scrubbing.

If you notice the condition worsening, or additional symptoms like skin lesions, it might be helpful to consult a local healthcare provider, or an Ayurvedic practitioner to provide a tailored evaluation based on your specific constitution.
