HELLO MUSKAN,

Hairfall and patchy hair loss on the scalp and eyebrows- especially when chronic and recurring- can be challenging to treat with underlying conditions like PCOD(polycystic ovarian disease). Since you’ve tried both allopathy and homeopathy relief, here lets see what ayurveda can do

Hair loss and patchy alopecia(including eyebrows) in Ayurveda may be linked to- -Pitta imbalance-> excess heat in the body damages hair follicles. -Vata imbalance -> dryness and poor nourishment to hair roots - Kapha imbalance-> blockages in hair follicles due to toxins - Aggravated rakta(blood tissues) or Asthi dhatu(bone tissue)-> weakening hair structure -PCOD-> hormonal imbalance disturbs metabolism and dhatu formation, affecting hair growth.

TREATMENT GOAL -correct hormonal imbalance (due to pcod) - stop hair fall and stimulate regrowth(scalp and eyebrows) - treat autoimmune/ inflammatory component(if alopecia aerate present) - nourish and rejuvinate hair tisues - support with diet, detox and lifestyle

Target is permanent reduction in patchy hair loss, hormonal balance, improved immunity, and sustainable regrowth of scalp and eyebrow hair.

* FOR HORMONAL BALANCING(PCOD FOCUS)

1) CHANDRAPRABHA VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals with lukewarm water = regulates insulin and androgens

2) ASHOKARISHTA= 20 ml with equal water after meals twice daily = regulates periods, clears urine congestion

3) RAJAH PRAVARTINI VATI= 1 tab twice daily if and only delayed or irregular periods

4) SHATAVARI KALPA= 1 tsp twice daily with warm milk in morning = estrogen balancing, nourishes hair

* HAIR REGROWTH AND FOLLICLE STRENGTHENING

1) BHRINGARAJ GHANVATI= 2 tabs twice daily in morning and night = powerful medicine for hair

2) AMALAKI RASAYANA= 1 tsp daily in morning =rejuvinates scalp, anti oxidant

3) NASYA= NARAYAN TAILA= 2 drops in each nostril every morning =opens blocked channels, supports eyebrow regrowth

* FOR PATCHY EYEBROW HAIR LOSS ( AUTOIMMUNE/ ALOPECIA ARETA)

1) BAKUCHI CHURNA + HARIDRA + MANJISTHA(equal part)= apply gently to patches for 10-15 min daily, avoid sun exposure = local application paste for alopecia patches

2) KAISHOR GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals = blood purifier, anti-inflammatory, helps autoimmune scalp issues

3) GUDUCHI SATVA + AMRITARISHTA= 1 tsp satva + 20 ml arishta twice daily after meals = boosts immunity, reduces inflammation

STRONG REJUVINATING RASAYANS

1) BRINGARAJ TAILA= warm oil massage thrice weekly =deep scalp and eyebrow nourishment ( kerala Arya Vaidya sala or kottakal brand)

2) CHYAWANPRASHA SPECIAL(zandu, kottakal)= 2 tsp in morning =vitality, immunity , hair regrowth

3) SUVARNA MALINI VASANT(with mukta)= 125 mg once a day with milk =cellular rejuvination, hormonal rebalance, hair loss control

POWERFUL INTERNAL COMBINATION

going and mix equal parts of -amalaki churna -bhringaraj churna - shatavari churna - yashtimadhu churna -ashwagandha churna

Take 1 tsp with warm water or ghee every morning and night This nourishes rasa, rakta, asthi and majja dhatu- the tissues related to hair

STRONG LOCAL TREATMENTS

1) EYEBROW AND SCALP OIL REGIMEN MIX- -bhringaraj oil=50 ml - kalonjig oil= 15 ml - brahmi oil= 10 ml - castor oil= 10 ml Warm gently and massage eyebrows and scalp daily - for eyebrows, apply with fingertip or cotton

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

-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 - Kapalbhati= 5 mins balances hormones, improves scalp circulation

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

SUGGESTED TEST -check ferritin, vitamin D3, B12 levels and correct if low

DO FOLLOW THIS CONSISTENTLY FOR 3-6 MONTHS

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

hello muskan, You see, the kind of hair fall you’re having where it comes in patches and keeps coming back even on your eyebrows in Ayurveda we call it Indralupta. It’s not just regular hair fall. What’s happening is your body’s natural balance is disturbed especially the heat (Pitta), dryness (Vata), and blockages (Kapha).So Pitta gets high and kind of burns out the hair roots, Vata comes in and uproots them, and Kapha slows down or blocks the fresh regrowth. And because you also have PCOD, your hormones are already not stable which weakens your internal nutrition and affects your skin and hair tissues deeply. Especially when it comes on your eyebrows, it shows that there’s some weakness in your nervous tissue (what we call Majja Dhatu), and there’s a bit of excess heat in the blood too. That’s why even when you take treatment, as long as this root imbalance is not corrected, the patches keep coming back.So this time, instead of just applying things or taking temporary medicines, we’ll focus on calming down your system, balancing the hormones, and deeply nourishing your hair roots from the inside.

1. Internal Medicines

1 Ashwagandha Capsules – 1 capsule twice daily 2 Arogyavardhini Vati – 2 tablets twice daily after meals 3.Manjisthadi Kashayam – 15 ml with equal warm water before meals 4.Rasayan Vati – 1 tablet twice daily 5.Rajapravartini Vati – 2 tablets at bedtime for PCOD regulation

2. External Application (Hair & Eyebrows)

1.Make paste of Neeli Bringadi Taila + Triphala churna – apply on patches 3x/week 2.Use Keshya Rasayana oil or Neelibhringadi oil for regular scalp massage 3.For eyebrow patches: Apply Kumkumadi taila gently with ring finger daily

3. Diet and Lifestyle

Avoid curd, fried food, spicy food, and sour fruits Add ghee, sesame seeds, soaked raisins, almonds, moong dal, and methi in diet Drink jeera water daily for hormonal and digestion support Practice gentle yoga, especially for stress and PCOD Sleep before 10:30 PM and avoid screen after 9 PM

Optional Investigations Vitamin D, B12 AMH, LH, FSH, Testosterone Thyroid profile Fasting insulin and glucose

This condition needs patience and internal nourishment to reverse. Focus on strengthening your system from the inside, and slowly your hair will stop falling and begin to regrow even on eyebrows.

If you have any doubts, you can contact me. Take care, regards, dr.Karthika

Considering your concern with recurring hair and eyebrow patches, it’s essential to view the issue through the lens of Ayurveda. Hair fall and bald patches are often connected to imbalances in pitta and vata doshas, alongside potentially weak dhatus (tissues) and agni (digestive fire). Let’s delve into some personalized recommendations based on Ayurvedic principles.

First, ensure your diet supports healthy hair growth. Integrate more cooling and nourishing foods to balance pitta, like cucumbers, gourds, and coconut water. Increase the intake of sesame seeds and nuts, which strengthen hair roots. Drinking amla juice regularly can also be beneficial as it enhances hair health and helps improves digestion.

For topical application, try making a paste of fresh amla (Indian gooseberry) and apply it to your scalp and eyebrows. Leave it on for 30 mins before rinsing. Bhringraj oil is known for its rejuvenating properties for hair growth; massaging this oil into your scalp twice a week could stimulate regrowth and improve blood circulation. Castor oil can be gently applied to eyebrows for patchy areas.

Daily lifestyle practices, such as yoga or meditation, can help to calm pitta imbalances often caused by stress. Regular pranayama (breathing exercises) can also support overall balance and health.

It’s crucial to ensure your digestive system functions well, so focus on stimulating agni through warm water with ginger and lemon before meals. Avoid overly spicy, oily, and fast foods, as they aggravate pitta and vata.

As this issue has persisted long term, it’s advisable to consult an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner who can tailor treatments through direct examination, possibly suggesting panchakarma therapies if needed. These therapies could offer a more structured and deeper cleanse to correct underlying imbalances.

One last word – while Ayurveda offers potential solutions, it’s equally important to address any underlying conditions that could be impacting your health, so continuous monitoring and evaluations are key.
