Doctors’ responses
Dear Anshu ji
Thank you for reaching out this platform and sharing your concern. I truly understand how distressing air fall and cleaning can be. Especially when it starts to affect your confidence and sense of well-being. It is clear that your body is trying to communicate some internal imbalances, and I genuinely appreciate your effort to look for a natural and holistic solution rather than masking the symptoms. The fact that you also have issues like occasional dandruff, acidity and moderately stressful. lifestyle tells me that this isn’t just a surface level issue. It is something that needs a deeper reset of your system, especially your digestion, sleep rhythm and mental calmness. I want to argue you that this kind of hair and metabolism related issue is quite manageable with a few consistent changes in your daily routine, some external applications and right nourishment for your inner health.
From the Ayurvedic point of view when we see hair falling out severely along with, it usually reflect the weakness in the nourishment being delivered to your hair roots. This doesn’t always means that your food is wrong. It often mean that your system isn’t digesting observing nutrients properly, if there is acidity sensitive gut ir-regular meals or a lifestyle that lacks regular rest and recovery, then even a good diet may not fully convert into strength. What I am sensing in your cases that there is a subtle digestive imbalance along with some heat and dryness in the system. Which is affecting both your hair and skin as well as possible, disrupting your sleep cycle and increasing stress over time.
The first step is to improve digestion, not just by eating less or controlling what you eat, but by gently enhancing of your body processes, food and builds tissues, start your day with a glass of warm water, preferably infuse with a few fennel or coriander seeds. If you can, it helps clean the digestive track gently and reduces internal acidity. Avoid skipping breakfast or having tea or coffee on an empty stomach. try to eat your meals, warm freshly prepared, and while well spiced with gentle herbs, like cumin, fennel, Ajwain and turmeric
Avoid cold packet or overly spicy foods. These may not show instant damage, but over time, they weak the digestive fire and affect hair health because the body isn’t observing the right minerals and oil that nourish the roots.
If you experience frequent acidity, reduce tea, coffee and fried snacks, especially in the evening, instead, go for cooling, but digestive drinks like buttermilk with roasted cumin, a pinch of rock salt or a little ginger, infuse, warm water between meals. This simple drinks help settle your metabolism and calm The nervous system ,to make sure dinner is light and taken before 8 PM if possible. If acidity happens at night, try a spoon of ghee in warm milk with a pinch of cardamom or even a half ripe banana This, so the gut lining and reduced internal information, which often gets unnoticed
No, let’s talk about the hair itself. The quality of air directly reflects the strength of your nutrition and the flow of Nourishment through your scalp For external Care, I suggest using a good herbal oil at least twice a week. You can make your own simple oil at home or choose a reliable one with natural ingredients, a good oil to strengthen hair roots would be a blend of coconut oil and sesame oil, gently, warm and infused with curry leaves, Amla and a little Hibiscus. These three harps are known for promoting hair growth, reducing hair fall and cooling the scalp naturally massage this warm oil gently into your scalp using circular motions for at least 10 to 15 minutes. Keep it on for a few hours or overnight. If your routine allows wash it with a mild herbal shampoo. Something that doesn’t contain strong chemicals or sulphate, let your scalp breathe. Avoid over washing your hair or using hot water. Lukewarm water is best For rinsing As for the dandruff, if it comes and goes that shows an imbalance between dryness and oiling in the scalp on days when dandruff plates of apply lemon juice mixed with a Little Cure 20 minutes before air wash, it gently clears this scalp without stripping it off natural oils, also, try not to use too many styling products or air dryer, too, often, they dry out this car and we roots
For internal support, you might consider taking a natural supplement that cools the body and supports metabolism Rila is a gentle and effective option, taking a pinch of triple powder in a warm water before bed can improve digestion reduces acidity and also helps regulate bowel movements. which is very important for skin and hair health, if you feel tiredness or notice tanning of air increasing, even after all this, then I may suggest a natural iron and mineral rich tonic that Nourish the hair follicles from within, but for now let us begin with simple changes.
Try to include more naturally, oily and nutrient rich food, in your diet,home made GHEE soaked almonds pumpkin seeds, cooked spinach and seasonal fruits are extremely helpful. Don’t avoid all oils or fats in fear of weight gain. Your hair needs healthy fats to stay strong and shiny. Also try to include protein in your meals like moong dal soft Paneer, Khichdi, with vegetables or lightly sauted tofu This self in the rebuilding of tissues that the body uses to grow hair
Now I want to speak a little about the role of stress and sleep. You mentioned that your life is moderately stressful and that you sleep around 6 to 7 hours. That is not bad, but it may not be enough for your body to fully repair and recovery, your air particles are very sensitive to sleep patterns and stress hormones. Even when you do not feel mentally anxious, a busy and always on lifestyle can exhaust the nervous system that intern we can dig upset monial balance and leads to air. Fall to support. Better. Sleep and relaxation. Take 5 to 10 minutes before bed to wind down properly, switch off screen lights and News light, an oil lamp or use a calming essential oil like lavender, listen to soft instrumental music. aur simply close your eyes and breathe deeply. You could also rub a few drops of warm oil on your soles and temples.-heat relaxes the whole body and improves circulation to the scalp
You sleep remains disturbed, or if you feel that you wake up tired or untested, you could take a gentle nighttime tonic like milk with a little G or some natural calming herbs like AshwagandhaRBRAHMI, but only in a very small amount. remember, your goal is not just to sleep, but to sleep deeply enough that the body get the time to repair and Nourish itself …
Overall Anshu ji, your body is simply calling for a little more balance nourishment and rest. The good thing is that air response. Well, when the inner system begins to settle, so don’t worry or feel disheartened. Follow the small steps with regularity for about 6 to 8 weeks, and you will start noticing signs of a new hair growth , let’s hair fall a calm gut and more energy. Its symptoms still persist. After that, I would be happy to explore deeper, detox options or customised hair combinations for You, wishing you healing, strength and inner balance. Always take care and feel free to write back.

God Bless You 😊🙏
If you have any questions u can ask me.I will answer to the level of your satisfaction.U have text option here.
To address severe hair fall, Ayurveda looks at holistic treatment, considering factors like dosha imbalances, lifestyle, diet, and your current stress and sleep patterns. Quite often, hair issues might indicate imbalances in the pitta dosha, especially if accompanied by acidity. Here’s what you might consider doing:
Firstly, hair oiling is beneficial. You may try bhringraj oil, known for nourishing the scalp and strengthening hair. Apply gently, massaging your scalp for at least 10-15 minutes 2-3 times a week. Follow this by leaving it for an hour before washing it off with a mild, herbal shampoo that suits your hair type.
Since dandruff is also present sometimes, neem oil can also be useful for its anti-fungal properties. Mixing a few drops of neem oil with coconut oil and applying it to the scalp can help irritated or flaky skin.
Regarding your diet, try incorporating foods that balance pitta, such as cooling, nurturing foods: Include greens, cucumber, and seasonal fruits. Stay hydrated, which helps in balancing metabolism and managing acidity. You might want to avoid spicy and fried foods that exacerbate pitta and, subsequently, hair fall.
Given your busy schedule, managing stress is crucial. Engage in regular yoga or meditation, even if for just 10 minutes a day, to soothe both mind and body. Sound sleep is essential for reducing stress too. Perhaps find some time before bed to unwind, limiting screens an hour before sleeping, which can facilitate deeper rest.
Finally, consider taking amla—whether in its raw form or as a supplement—as its rich vitamin C content helps in conditioning hair and balancing pitta. If your hair fall doesn’t improve with these practices, please consult an Ayurvedic practitioner personally who can provide more tailored advice, It gets more mantainable. Remember to take care of digestion, since a healthy gut often reflects on healthier hair.
