Indralupta lepam could be an option for managing hair loss, especially from an Ayurvedic perspective. Based on classical texts like Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita, indralupta is usually associated with hair loss conditions that aren’t solely hereditary.
To start with, the ointment or lepam is often made from ingredients like triphala, amalaka, vibhitaki and neem; mixed into a paste with water or certain oils, like coconut or sesame oil depending on your hair type. You apply it to the scalp where hair is thinning or lost, typically letting it sit for about 30 minutes to an hour before rinsing. Do this few times a week.
But a key thing to remember in Ayurveda is that real healing comes by understanding underlying reasons. Hair loss, can be caused by various dosha imbalances—often pitta or vata related. If it’s more stress-related, you might have a pitta imbalance, so cooling remedies and lifestyle changes like reducing stress, getting good sleep, making diet alterations to include more cooling foods may help.
If hair loss is purely hereditary, Indralupta might not work miracles. It could help improve hair quality and manage symptoms, though. Keep realistic expectations, and double check remedies with a healthcare professional considering its always vital to ensure no underlying conditions are indicated.
Also, maintaining a healthy digestive fire or agni is important. Consider eating balanced meals, maybe reduce processed foods and encourage nutrient-rich ones like leafy greens, fruits, and nuts rich in omega-3. Practice pranayama to support circulation too.
So yeah, it’s not always about just applying a treatment. Ayurveda approach is more holistic, focusing on overall harmony and balance in lifestyle.
