Dear ishu,You're experiencing male pattern baldness that started at 18 — a Pitta-dominant condition.
Stopping minoxidil/finasteride likely triggered withdrawal shedding, and your hair follicles are miniaturizing again
Ayurvedic Action Plan (Safe + Long-Term)
🟢 “Bhringrajasava” (10 ml twice daily after meals)
🟢 “Triphala Ghrita” or “Chyawanprash” – 1 tsp morning on empty stomach
🟢 “Amla Juice” – 15–20 ml daily with water (or 2 raw amla daily)
Jive Hairloss tablet (2-0-2)
Saptamrit lauh tablet (2-0-2)
Cosmetic surgery can also help along with this.
✅ Oil Therapy (3–4xweek)
Bhringraj oil+ Neelibhringadi oil + coconut oil -apply every day Stimulates blood flow,hence hair growth
How to use:
Warm oil slightly
Apply to scalp with fingertips (not nails)
Leave overnight (or 1–2 hours) before shampooing with mild herbal shampoo
🥗 Hair-Friendly Diet (Reverse Hair Loss from Inside)
Focus Food
Protein Moong dal, paneer, sprouted beans, soaked nuts
Iron Beetroot, dates, curry leaves, sesame seeds

Hello
This is common problem now a day which is seen in young age group, don't worry about this problem. it may be due to stress , diet , vitamin deficiency
by Ayurveda we can correct this problem
initially you have to go for following procedure For detoxification
Deepana and Pachana therapy
Deepana means stimulating digestion treatment especially for kapha dosha. It is an essential procedure before therapeutic emesis (vamana) and therapeutic purgation (virechana).
The best form of food to kindle digestion is foods like fats/oils
Pachana :- means digestion, cooking, boiling, baking, softening. In medical treatments, it denotes digestion or promoting digestion. It is an important treatment for indigestion.
Later Panchakaram
Snehana one of the most important therapies that prepares the body to receive specialized Panchakarma treatment. It involves the application of medicated oils, ghee and herbs to the body internally and externally for three to seven days
Swedana helps in detoxification and reestablishing the balance between Vata, Pitta, and Kapha in the body. The sweat glands are one of the sources that eliminate toxins from the body
Vamana: Emesis Therapy, involves controlled, medically-induced vomiting. It is aimed to eliminate excess Kapha Dosha in the body which can otherwise trigger a series of ailments like acne, asthma, arthritis, chronic cold and diabetes
Virechana: the controlled therapeutic purging for a specific time. The main purpose of this treatment is to remove imbalanced or excess pitta dosha
By doing this your body will get Detoxification. you will feel Rejuvenation.
later
Now we will start medication
Aswaganda leham two times a day with warm milk after food
Triphala churna half spoon with warm water two times a day after food
Brahami tailam to apply at hair
Hinguvastaka churna half spoon with warm water before bed time
Diet
Avoid oily , spicy , cold food
Avoid carbonated drinks
Drink plenty of water
Eat fruits
Hope with the above treatment and medication you will get relief.

Hair loss can indeed be challenging, but from an Ayurvedic perspective, there are strategies that can help address this issue naturally. Ayurveda views hair loss as a manifestation of imbalances within your body's doshas, principally Pitta, which govern heat and metabolism, including skin and hair health.
Start by examining your diet. Incorporate cooling, bitter, and astringent foods, as these pacify Pitta. Opt for foods like fresh veggies, fruits—particularly pomegranates and berries—and leafy greens. Foods that imbalance Pitta, like spicy, oily, or fermented items, should be avoided. Consider taking triphala regularly, as it is a powerful herbal mixture that detoxifies and balances the doshas, enhancing digestion, and promoting overall health.
Oil massages (shiroabhyanga) are also a valuable Ayurvedic practice for hair health. Use cool, nourishing coconut or bhringraj oil to gently massage your scalp 2-3 times a week. This acts not only to nourish the hair follicles but also improves circulation and calms the mind, which can indirectly improve hair health.
It's important to get adequate sleep and prevent sleep deprivation, as lack of rest can aggravate the Pitta dosha. Aim for 7-8 hours of restful sleep every night, creating a calm and soothing bedtime routine.
Additionally, managing stress is also crucial. Practicing yoga, pranayama, or meditation daily helps maintain doshic balance and reduce stress levels. Techniques like Shavasana at the end of your yoga routine or practicing diaphragmatic breathing can be particularly grounding and beneficial.
For herbal support, consider consuming ashwagandha or brahmi, as both herbs have health-promoting qualities that support stress relief and wellness. These should be taken under the guidance of a qualified practitioner to ensure proper dosage and suitability for your individual needs.
Remember, consistency is key. Ayurvedic approaches are holistic and might take time to show noticeable results, but these lifestyle and dietary adjustments foster long-term well-being and healthier hair growth. If you continue to have significant concerns, consulting with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner can provide more personalized guidance.
