Question

Within 7 months I will be 40. I need to cure before that according to ayurveda.10 years ago I had too much stress, so my hair normal hair started thinning due to excess sebum on hair. I consulted dermatologist for overproduction of sebum & oily dandruff.After usage of ketaconazole shampoo its temporary cure but my side hair turned grey. Due to oily dandruff myhair started thinning & now I have 30℅ of hair on front side.My backside is good. I have grey hair majorly on both the sides but only 50%. Currently I m using anu tailam at night. I have too much heat in body due to less sleep. I sleep after 11.30 pm and wake up at 5 am. I don't have diabetes or any other disease.

Can I use bhringrajsava?Please guide me proper and simple lifestyle and treatment

Dr. Ayush Varma · Answer

Considering the descriptions you've given, it seems like Pitta dosha imbalance might be contributing to your hair thinning and greying. Pitta, associated with heat and transformation, when aggravated, can have a direct effect on hair health. Let's address your concerns step-by-step.

First, your sleeping schedule may indeed be exacerbating the issue. According to Ayurveda, sleep timing is crucial; a regular sleep schedule can help balance your dosha. Try heading to bed by 10 pm and aim for at least 7-8 hours of restful sleep. This might help cool down the excess Pitta.

Regarding diet, favor cooling and nourishing foods. Include more sweet, bitter, and astringent tastes in your meals, and avoid excessive spicy, sour, or salty foods that increase Pitta. Fresh fruits like pomegranate and coconut water can help. Foods rich in iron and protein will benefit hair strength—think lentils, spinach, and sweet potatoes.

For your hair treatment, continue with Anu Tailam but consider adding Bhringraj oil, known for its properties in promoting hair health and reducing greying. Massage this oil onto the scalp gently, allowing it to absorb overnight if possible. As for Bhringrajsava, it can be beneficial, but it’s better taken under guidance of an Ayurvedic practitioner who can ensure it's suited to your constitution.

Dermal rollers can stimulate hair follicles, but using them without proper understanding might lead to irritation, especially given your history of oily dandruff. I would suggest trying safer, traditional methods first.

Also, practicing stress-reducing techniques like yoga or meditation can be helpful. Simple breathing exercises in the morning might reduce your body heat too.

Finally, keep hydrating - drink plenty of water, herbal teas especially those with brahmi or ginger can help balance stress and inflammation. Consider these s strategies, and give them some time, as holistic improvements often require patience.
