hello suchi, What your body is showing right now dull skin, pigmentation, hair fall is usually a sign that your Rasa (nutrient fluid) and Rakta dhatu (blood) are not getting properly nourished. Even if your diet is clean, if your digestion is weak or your mind is under stress, the skin and hair are the first to show it.Those small dots and pigmentation around the nose and eyes happen when Pitta and Vata get disturbed it leads to poor circulation, dryness, and uneven colour. At the same time, hair fall means the dhatus are not being nourished fully the root problem is usually inside, not just outside.

Ayurvedic Treatment Plan (for 6–8 weeks) 1. Internal Medicines

Manjishtadi Kashayam – 15 ml with equal warm water twice daily before food Mahatiktakam Ghritam – ½ tsp with warm water in the morning Amla capsule – 1 capsule twice daily after food Narasimha Rasayanam – 1 tsp at bedtime with warm milk Sarivadyasava – 15 ml with equal water after meals

2. External Application

Use Nalpamaradi Tailam or Kumkumadi Tailam on face at night (light application, leave 20 mins then wash) Hair: Use Neelibhringadi Tailam twice a week before bath Do gentle abhyanga (oil massage) once a week with Bala Taila

3. Diet & Lifestyle

Avoid curd, fried food, excess tea/coffee, stress eating Include soaked almonds, ghee, carrot-beetroot juice, moong dal, and old rice Drink warm water with coriander seeds or fennel daily

Practice Anulom Vilom (pranayama) and short walks to calm the system

This combination will slowly clear the pigmentation, strengthen blood circulation to the face, reduce hair fall, and bring back natural skin glow. Give it 6–8 weeks regularly your body just needs support to come back to balance.

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

Dull skin and hair fall issues can be troubling, and such conditions often point towards a possible imbalance of doshas in the body, particularly Pitta and Vata. Let’s address your concerns with an Ayurvedic perspective.

First, looking at your skin condition, dullness and hyperpigmentation might be signs of excess Pitta dosha. When Pitta is aggravated, it often leads to various skin problems. To balance Pitta, include cooling foods in your diet such as cucumber, zucchini and melons and avoid spicy and fried foods. Drink coconut water or aloe vera juice in the morning; they act as natural coolants. Also, try applying a paste made of sandalwood powder and rose water to your face. This mixture can help soothe and reduce Pitta-related skin issues.

For your hair fall, a potential Vata imbalance might be at play. Keep your scalp and body hydrated; make sure to drink plenty of water. Incorporate sesame or coconut oil massages into your weekly routine. These oils nourish the scalp and promote hair growth. Try massaging your scalp with warm oil twice a week, leaving it overnight, and wash with a mild herbal shampoo.

Consider consuming Amla (Indian Gooseberry), which is beneficial for both skin and hair vitality. Take one teaspoon of Amla powder with warm water daily. This helps in rejuvenating tissues and boosting your immune systems.

Work on regularizing your sleep patterns as they significantly influence skin and hair health. Aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep every night. Stress management through yoga or meditation can also be helpful. Practice deep breathing exercises or meditation for at least 10 minutes a day.

Assess your overall digestion; a sluggish digestive fire, or agni, can lacklustre the skin and weaken hairs. You can stimulate agni by including ginger tea before meals or drinking warm water with lemon juice.

If your condition does not improve, it’s important to consult a practitioner, as underlying issues might require personalized treatment.
