HELLO APURVA PRATIK,

Main complaints -premature greying- since age 9 -chronic hair fall and hair thinning -frizzy and rough hair -no chronic illness

this indicates an imbalance mainly in Pitta and Vata doshas, possibly with weak Rasa dhatu(plasma), Rakta dhatu(blood), and Asthi dhatu(bones, which support hair/nails)

DOSHA INVOLVEMENT

PITTA- governs heat, metabolism , when aggravated, burns melanin->premature greying

VATA- dryness, degeneration leads to frizzy, thin, falling hair

KAPHA- nourishment, strength, deficiency-> weak roots, lack of luster

TREATMENT SHOULD BE FOCUSED TO -to stop hair fall -reverse/slow premature greying -thicken and volumize hair -repair frizzy, dry hair -rejuvinate scalp and nervous system -correct internal imbalances(vata-pitta) -prevent further damage and relapse

START INTERNALLY WITH

1) KESHYA RASAYANA GHRITA - 1 tsp with milk in morning empty stomach for 3-4 months =deep rejuvinator for hair, brain, eyes, balances vata-pitta BRAND= Arya Vaidya sala/ vaidyaratnam

2)LOHA BHASMA + NARIKEL LAVAN -loha bhasma- 125 mg+ nairkela lavana- 250 mg take with honey+ ghee once daily after breakfast for 40 days =powerful rejuvination combo for very early greying, rich in iron, balances pitta

3)CHYAWANPRASHA SPECIAL(high amla content) -1 tsp with warm milk daily morning for 12 months =deep rejuvenation, improves immunity, hair growth, pigmentation (BRAND SUGGESTION= AVP dhanwantharam chyawanprasha or Nagarjuna chyawanprasha(with Swarna bhasma)

4)SWARNA MAKSHIK BHASMA -125 mg with amla juice or honey for 2 months =addressess deep rasa/rakta dhatu problems linked to early greying

5)KESYA KALPA CAPSULES -1 cap twice daily after meals for 3 months =bends of rasayana+ anti greying herbs like prashnaparni, Ashoka, bringaraj

EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

1) KANJUNNYADI KERA TAILA( AVS KOTTAKKAL BRAND) -warm slightly, apply to scalp and hair leave overnight =powerful Kerala medicated oil, anti greying, anti fall, scalp rejuvinator

2) KAYYUNYADI TAILA -alternate with above oil thrice/week =used in severe greying and scalp dryness, nourishes hair roots

SHAMPOO SUGGESTIONS

DIVYA KESH KANTI ADVANCED(patanjali)= strong herbal shampoo with anti-greying and anti fall ingredients

TRICHUP HERBAL SHAMPOO(VASU)= with keratin + herbal blend

KOTTAKAL NEELIBHRINGADI SHAMPOO= gentle but nourishes follicles deeply

FOR STRESS- take MANAS MITRA VATAKAM(avs or Arya Vaidya pharmacy)- 1 tab at bedtime with warm milk for 1 month =used for hair greying/fall due to mental stress, insomnia

NASYA THERAPY- instill 2 drops of keshya taila in each nostril daily in morning =improve hair and brain health

DIET MODIFICATIONS -include Amla, curry leaves, black sesame seeds- 1 tsp/day -cow ghee 1 tsp/day -pumpkin seeds, almonds, walnuts -millets ragi, jowar -fresh fruits, leafy greens -moong dal, rice, old wheat

AVOID -spicy, sour fermented foods -oily, junk, packaged foods -tea, coffee, alcohol -excesssive salt or sugar

START YOUR DAY WITH SOAKED RAISINS AND ALMONDS, WARM WATER WITH LEMON AND HONEY

LIFESTYLE AND YOGA -SARVANGASANA= improves scalp blood flow -ADHO MUKHA SVANASANA = enhances nutrients delivery to follicles -SHASHANKASANA= calms stress -PRANAYAM= balances vata and pitta reduces stress

ROUTINE TIPS -sleep early by 10 pm -avoid excessive screen time -oil scalp before sleeping -use wooden comb(avoid plastic)

EXPECTED RESULTS TIMELINE

1 MONTH- Reduction in hairfall, frizz control 3 MONTHS- stronger roots, less breakage, new baby hair 6+ MONTHS= slowed greying, better volume and texture

DO FOLLOW CONSISTENTLY

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

Premature graying and hair fall, alongside rough and frizzy hair indicate imbalances that may be associated with Pitta dosha, and possibly weak Agni (digestive fire). Addressing these issues could support maintaining natural hair color and reducing hair fall.

First, let’s examine the dietary aspects. Include in your diet foods that help pacify Pitta, like sweet, bitter, and astringent tastes. Favor sweet fruits like pomegranates, grapes, and melons. Bitter greens such as cucumbers and salads can be effective. Minimizing spicy, salty, and fried foods can be helpful as these may aggravate Pitta dosha. Hydration is key, so drink plenty of water, or coconut water to keep Pitta cool.

Next, consider herbs that support hair health. Amla (Indian gooseberry) is an excellent choice as it not only cools down the Pitta but also supports the hair health due to its Vitamin C content. Amla powder can be taken with warm water or milk daily. Bhringraj is another herb traditionally used to promote hair growth and natural coloring, and it’s available as a powder or oil for direct application to the scalp.

In terms of lifestyle, stress management is crucial as stress can exacerbate hair loss. Practices such as yoga or meditation can provide relaxation. Incorporate daily self-massage (abhyanga) using warm sesame or coconut oil; it can improve circulation to the scalp, nourishing the hair roots.

For external hair care, washing with gentle herb-based shampoos without chemicals and using a homemade hair mask using henna, yogurt, and fenugreek paste can add luster and manage frizz. Simply apply the paste to your hair, leave it for about 30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.

To address roughness and freeziness, regularly oil your hair, ideally with infused oils such as Brahmi or Bhringraj oil. Apply overnight if possible and rinse or wash in the morning.

Remember that reversing grey hair is a gradual process, and consistency is key. If you haven’t already, consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for a personalized analysis and specific treatments tailored to your constitution.
