Hello Nachiketh,
Hairfall Ayurvedic view
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

-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

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- vata-pacifying in winter, pitta-calming in summer
-treat the mind and lifestyle as deeply as the body
REMEMBER- NUTRITION IS VERY IMPORTANT SO FOCUS MORE ON NUTRITION
DO FOLLOW
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL
THANK YOU

Consider balancing your son's doshas, as hair problems often link to an imbalance, especially of Pitta and Kapha doshas. Oily scalp indicates a Kapha imbalance while hair thinning might be associated with Pitta issues. Here's a personalized approach based on Ayurvedic principles.
Start with a Shiro Abhyanga. It's an oil massage for the scalp that nourishes the hair roots and scalp. Use oils like Bhringraj or Brahmi oil, which can be applied thrice a week, ideally before bed. Leave it overnight and wash in the morning with a mild herbal shampoo. This will help his roots strengthen over time.
Recommend washing with lukewarm water rather than hot, as excess heat increases Pitta and damages hair. After washing, ensure that he towels dries it gently and avoids aggressive rubbing. Sleeping on a silk pillow can also reduce friction and prevent breakage.
Diet plays a vital role too. Encourage a Pitta-pacifying diet - incorporate cooling foods like cucumber, watermelon, and melon. He's better off avoiding spicy, sour, fermented or fried foods; they aggravate Pitta dosha. Stay hydrated, with plenty of water.
Detoxification can also help. Triphala churna taken with warm water at night aids in detoxification, but do consult a local practitioner to confirm it's right for him.
Include relaxation techniques like yoga or meditation to manage stress, as it's a common cause for hair fall. Consider pranayama exercises since they're calming and Pitta balancing.
Have a herbal hair pack once a week. Mix amla powder and shikakai with water to a paste, apply, and leave it on for 30 minutes before washing.
If issues persist, visiting a local Ayurvedic practitioner can provide bespoke advice, tailored specifically to him by examining prakriti (constitution). However, this should provide a solid starting point in addressing his hair concerns.
