I think its due to low nutrition. With above medication and blood chks start Holistic Treatment Plan 1. Diet & Internal Nourishment Ensure your hair matrix cells and follicles are well-nourished: Daily Nutrition (focus): 🥬 Iron-rich foods: moringa powder, jaggery, soaked black raisins, spinach 🥜 Proteins: dal, paneer, nuts, seeds, sprouts, soaked almonds, pumpkin seeds 🍓 Vitamin C: amla (Indian gooseberry), oranges, lemon 🌞 Vitamin D: safe sun exposure or supplement (check levels) 🧬 Zinc + Biotin: sesame seeds, walnuts, curry leaves, eggs (if non-veg) 🍲 Drink jeera + fennel + ajwain + coriander water for digestion + hormone balance > ✅ Consider an Ayurvedic multivitamin like Saptamrit Lauh + Ashwagandha + Yashtimadhu (under guidance) --- 2. Scalp Care & Oil Therapy A clean, nourished scalp is vital. Follow this weekly oiling + scalp detox routine: 🌿 Herbal Oil Blend (apply 2–3x a week) Mix: Bhringraj oil (stimulates new growth) Brahmi oil (strengthens roots) Methi seed oil or infused fenugreek oil (reduces hair fall) Few drops of rosemary or tea tree essential oil (for scalp circulation and fungal balance) (Warm slightly before applying. Massage with fingertips (10 mins) and leave for 2–4 hours or overnight.)

hi vaishnavi, What you’re facing is not just basic hair fall it’s deep-rooted damage to your hair follicle system. When hair falls from the root (not just breakage), it shows that your hair-producing cells (called Kesh Vaha Srotas) are weakened. In Ayurveda, this is mostly due to Pitta aggravation (overheating in the scalp), mixed with Vata imbalance (dryness, roughness, early greying, high porosity), and Rakta dhatu weakness (the blood tissue that supports hair). When this goes on for a long time especially 4 years your hair follicle cycle gets disturbed, so even new hair stops forming, or forms but immediately falls. High porosity means your cuticle (outer layer) is always open so your hair never retains moisture, and that's why it stays frizzy, dry, and breaks easily.It’s not just about oiling or shampoo your system needs deep nourishment + detox so that your follicles can breathe, reset, and grow again. 1. Internal Ayurvedic Medicines (to take daily for 3–6 months) 1.Bhringarajasava – 15 ml with equal water, twice a day after food Nourishes hair roots, strengthens follicles, improves blood flow to scalp 2.Dhatri Loha – 1 tablet twice daily with warm water Rich in iron + amla, helps improve blood quality and reduce Pitta from scalp 3.Saptamrita Lauh – 1 tablet twice daily Supports scalp health and cools excess heat causing hair loss 4.Narasimha Rasayana – 1 tsp with milk at bedtime Deep rasayana (rejuvenative) to promote hair regrowth from inside 5.Chyawanprash – 1 tsp in the morning Overall immunity and hair-supportive tonic 2. External Haircare (for root activation + moisture retention) 1.Scalp oiling 3x/week Use a blend of: -Neelibhringadi taila OR Maha Bhringraj oil (base) Add 2-3 drops rosemary essential oil if possible Warm it slightly, massage gently for 5–10 mins, leave for 1–2 hrs or overnight 2.Hair Mask (weekly) – Methi powder + Brahmi powder + Amla powder + Aloe vera gel Mix to paste, apply on scalp & hair. Keeps frizz down and strengthens roots. 3.Mild hair wash (2–3x/week) Use reetha + shikakai + hibiscus powder mix, or a mild sulfate-free shampoo 4.After wash, use rice water spray or diluted aloe vera gel as a leave-in for frizz & porosity -Avoid spicy, deep-fried, too much tea/coffee (they increase Pitta and hair fall) -Add soaked black raisins, dates, soaked almonds (6–8), and ghee in meals -Drink jeera + coriander seed boiled water daily for scalp heat reduction -Early sleep, reduced screen time, and regular head wash rhythm are essential -Avoid washing hair in hard water or under very hot showers --Investigations: Iron, Ferritin Vitamin D, B12 Thyroid Profile Serum Zinc & Biotin (These help check if deficiency is aggravating the condition) follow medication for 15 days and then report with all investigations, take care !

Your hair concerns involve multiple aspects like hair fall, frizz, and breakage, pointing towards an imbalance that can be addressed through Ayurveda. The key to managing hair health is understanding your body's unique constitution, or Prakriti, and the current Dosha imbalance, which seems to be primarily affecting Vata and Pitta. First, focus on your diet, as what you consume significantly influences hair health. Include foods rich in healthy fats like ghee, sesame oil, or olive oil to nourish the hair follicles. Leafy greens, nuts, seeds (like flaxseed and pumpkin seeds), and proteins such as lentils and chickpeas should be mainstays. Hydration is crucial, so aim for 8-10 glasses of water daily. For external care, regular oiling with warm sesame or coconut oil infused with herbs like amla, bhringraj, or hibiscus may help. Massage gently in circular motions to boost circulation to the scalp, but avoid being harsh. Doing this 2-3 times a week can be beneficial. Use a gentle, herbal shampoo and conditioner, preferably one with ingredients like neem or fenugreek. Avoid hot water while washing as it can strip natural oils, making hair more prone to breakage. Follow with a cool rinse to help tame frizz. Address stress as it greatly affects hair health—practice Yoga, Pranayama, or meditation techniques like Anulom Vilom, for at least 15-20 minutes daily. Adequate sleep, around 7-8 hours, is non-negotiable as well. Lastly, consider consulting a local Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized herbal supplements, as internal imbalances often require specific interventions. Things like Ashwagandha or Brahmi may be suggested for stress management, but should be taken under supervision. Be patient, as natural remedies often require time to show full benefits, focus on creating a consistent regimen.
