Severe Hair loss - #21479

Sounds quite rough, dealing with hair loss all the time, especially with it coming in lumps. First, let’s try to understand what's going on from an Ayurvedic perspective. Hair loss like this often points to a combination of dosha imbalances, particularly Vata and Pitta. Post-pregnancy changes can mess with doshas, which may be why the hair loss took a long-term vibe this time around. Using hair color might also fire up that Pitta dosha, leading to hair weakening, dryness and eventual loss. Now, let's get into some actionable stuff. It may help to keep your scalp nourished, so you could try applying warm oil, which can pacify Vata. What kind of oil, you ask? Something like coconut or even sesame oil, maybe mixed with a bit of Amla oil, massaged gently into your scalp at least twice a week could do wonders. Leave it in for a hour or two before washing it out with a mild shampoo. Diet’s a big deal too. Aim for foods that cool and nourish the body. Think about including more ghee, greens like spinach, almonds, and sesame seeds in your meals. And, don't underestimate a calm, balanced routine. Stress can throw Vata way outta whack. If you can, take up some breathing exercises, or meditation, especially in the mornings. Oh, and try to keep your sleep schedule regular too; late nights can mess with doshas big time. One last thing—since you mentioned multivitamins didn’t help much, maybe focus on herbs instead. Triphala can be a wonderful help; it supports detoxification and digestion, aiding overall hair health. You could consume it at bedtime, a teaspoon with warm water. If hair loss doesn’t ease up, consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner locally may help pinpoint deeper imbalances. Remember though, if the situation seems acute, it’s always wise to check in with a doctor. We gotta keep safety first at all times, you know?
