HELLO SRI,

DOSHA INVOLVEMENT 1)VATA- dryness, frizzz, breakage, dandruff 2)PITTA- heat in scalp, early greying, inflammation, hair root destruction 3)RAKTA DUSHTI- toxin accumulation-> weakened follicles 4)ASTHI DHATU KSHAYA- since Kesha are considered upadhatu of asthi, when rasa->rakta->mamsa->meda->asthi conversion is impaired, hair loss results 5)MAJJA KSHAYA- chronic cases(bald patches) may reflect deeper dhatu depletion

TYPES OF HAIRLOSS- BASED ON DOSHA’S

-KHALITYA(baldness)- pitta-vata= patchy loss, heat in scalp, premature thinning

-INDRALUPTA(alopecia areata)- kapha-vata= sudden loss in spots

-RUHYA- vata= gradual thinning , no itching

-PALITYA(greying)- pitta= premature greying, often hereditary

INTERNALLY START WITH

1. NARASIMHA RASAYANA- 1 tsp with milk, morning empty stomach= 90 days =asthi-majja rasayana, hair growth (ref- bhaishajya ratnavali)

2. BHRINGRAJ CHURNA- 5gm + ghee at bedtime for 2-3 months =hair growth, scalp nourishment(ref- Nighantu Ratnakar)

3. CHYAWANPRASHA AVALEHA- 1 tsp twice daily with warm milk for long term 3-6 months =rasa-rakta dhatu and immunity(ref- charak Samhita)

4. DRAKSHADI KASHAYA- 30 ml before meals with water for 4-6 weeks =pitta-rakta sodhaka(ref- ashtanga hridaya)

5. SAPTAMRIT LAUHA- 500mg with ghee/honey twice daily in morning and night for 1-3 months =eye and hair support, rakta support

6. AMALAKI RASAYANA- 5 gm in the morning with milk for long term =rejuvination, prevents greying and great for immunity

EXTERNAL OIL APPLICATIONS

1. NEELIBHRINGADI TAILA- massage warm oil 30 mins before bath for 4 times/week(ref- sahasra yoga)

2. DHURDHURAPATRADI TAILA- for scalp dryness and dandruff = twice/week(ref- bhaisajya ratnavali)

3. BRAHMI-AMLA OIL- infuse oil with fresh amla and brahmi leaves regularly use

FOR FRIZZ- use coconut or sesame base for INFLAMATION- use amla infused cooling oils

POTENT HERBAL PACKS FOR SCALP

1)CLASSIC HAIR PACK -bhringaraj churna- 1 tsp -amla powder- 1 tsp -hibiscus powder- 1 tsp -aloe vera pulp- 2tbsp Apply 1 hour before bath; rinse with herbal decoction

2)RAKTA- SODHANA SCALP LEPA -Manjistha+lodhra+triphala+sandalwood+rose water =apply during pitta-aggravated stages, especially with itching or scalp redness

ESSENTIAL FOODS -cow milk+ghee= builds Ojas, nourishes dhatu -black sesame seeds= asthi dhatu enhancer -soaked almonds(5-6)= omega 3+ protein -fresh amla(or juice)= rasayana, anti-pitta -moong dal khichdi= easily digestible -curry leaves(raw/chutney)= rich in iron and vitamin c -dates, figs, raisins= rasa dhatu replenishment

AVOID -spicy, fermented, fried , junk food -late night meals -overconsumption of tea, coffe, carbonated drinks -alcohol, smoking

LIFESTYLE + DAILY ROUTINES

MORNING ROUTINE -Wake before 6 AM= aligns with brahma muhurtha if possible

-GANDUSHA(oil pulling) with sesame oil= removes ama from head and neck

-NASYA= instill 2 drops of ANU TAILA in each nostril every morning- clears srotas, enhances hair nourishment

-SHIROABHYANGA(Hair oiling)- calms vata, strengthens follicles

-LIGHT YOGA- enhances circulation to scalp

HAIR WASH -use herbal decoctions- shikakai, Geetha, amla, powder boiled and filtered -avoid chemical shampoo, hot water -wash 2-3 times/week max

YOGA ASANA -Adho much svanasana(downward dog)= increases scalp blood flow -Sarvangasana= stimulates thyroid, nourishes head region -Shirshasana= direct blood flow to scalp -Ustrasana, Matsyasana= opens up chest and throat, affects hormonal balance

PRANAYAM -Bhramari= calms mind, improves oxygen to hair roots -Anulom vilom= balances vata- pitta -Sheetali/sheetkari= pitta shamak

MEDITATION -daily 15 mins of Trataka(candle gazing)+ Dhyana can help hormonal and mental factors

SPECIAL HIAR DECOCTION BOIL- 1 tsp bhringaraj, 1 tsp brahmi, 1/2 tsp yashtimadhu, 3 cups water-> reduce to 1 cup->drink daily AM or PM

-Hair regrowth is gradual but certain with Rasaya+ Shamana+ stress correction -Allow 2-3 months minimum for visible results -Follow Ritucharya- bata-pacifying in winter, pitta-calming in summer -treat the mind and lifestyle as deeply as the body

FOR SKIN TAN AND HYPERPIGMENTATION APPLY 2-3 TIMES/WEEK 1) sandalwood+ rose water pack -For cooling and reducing tan -mix 1 tsp sandalwood with rose water apply for 20 mins

2) LICORICE POWDER+ MILK -ligthens dark spots and pigmentation -use as a mask for 15-20 mins

3) TURMERIC + GRAM FLOUR + YOGURT. PASTE -traditional ubtan for tan removal = brightens complexion with regular use.

4) ALOE VERA GEL+ LEMON JUICE(FEW DROPS) -use at night, helps lighten marks and soothe skin.

5) KUMKUMADI TAILA - apply 2-3 drops at night = hyperpigmentation

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

Hair fall can be distressing, especially when it starts to become noticeable, but Ayurveda offers a natural and holistic approach. To tackle hair loss and strengthen weak hair, one should first understand their dosha, as imbalances can contribute to the issue. Determine whether you are Vata, Pitta, or Kapha dominant, as this will dictate your specific remedies. Generally speaking, excessive Pitta can lead to hair thinning, Vata to dryness and roughness, and Kapha to dull, lifeless hair.

Start with dietary changes, as they’re fundamental in Ayurveda. Incorporate more fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts like almonds, and healthy fats, particularly ghee and sesame oil. Avoid excessively spicy or fried foods as they can exacerbate Pitta. Stay hydrated, as proper hydration supports not just hair but overall body health.

Implement a regular hair care routine. Gently massage your scalp with warm oils such as coconut or Amla oil several times a week. This not only nourishes the scalp but stimulates hair growth. Leave the oil in overnight if possible, and wash it out with a mild, herbal shampoo in the morning - one without harsh chemicals that can strip the hair of its natural oils.

For skin tan and hyperpigmentation, use natural remedies like turmeric and sandalwood paste, it can be applied to the affected areas. Turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, though do be cautious, as it can stain fabrics. Drinking aloe vera juice may also help to soothe and balance skin tone.

Utilize practices like yoga and meditation to balance stress. Stress can deeply affect hair health - specifically hair fall. Practicing pranayama (breathing exercises) supports relaxation and mental clarity, which promotes overall balance in the body.

If the hair loss or skin issues persist, or if it seems to worsen, consulting with a certified Ayurvedic practitioner would be wise. They can offer more tailored remedies based on your unique constitution and conditions.
