Hairfall and acne - #21503

Sounds frustrating dealing with acne and hairfall, but hey you're not alone! Let's tackle both issues with an Ayurvedic lens. Acne's often influenced by an imbalance in your Pitta dosha, which can lead to excess heat and inflammation in your body. Try cooling down your system with proper diet and lifestyle changes. Eating foods that are cool like cucumbers, salads, coconut, and avoiding spicy, fried, and oily foods can bring some balance. Also, staying well-hydrated is key; aim for about 8 to 10 glasses of water per day. Don't underestimate simple things like getting enough sleep too – magic for both skin and mind. For topical treatment, you might consider applying a paste of sandalwood powder and rose water to the affected areas of your skin. This could help soothe and reduce inflammation. Keep it on for about 20 minutes before washing off with lukewarm water every other day. Now about the hairfall, stress can definitely play a big role there! You mentioned study stress, which likely increases Vata dosha causing hairfall. Meditation or even just some deep breathing exercises can help calm your mind. Simple lifestyle adjustments, such as ensuring regular sleeping patterns and minimizing caffeine, can be beneficial. Try incorporating foods rich in iron and protein like spinach, lentils, and nuts to nourish your hair from the inside. As for external care, while Acharya Panchakarma oil is a good choice, consider mixing it with a few drops of bhringraj or amla oil before massaging into your scalp. Feeling overwhelmed by all? Press pause when needed, and remember, your accomplishments aren't diminished by taking care of your health. Be patient since Ayurvedic remedies take some time to show results. If things don't improve or worsen, checking in with a healthcare pro is a great idea. You got this!
