HELLO LIZA,
Hairfall and sweat odor can both be influenced by internal imbalances- including nutritional deficiencies, hormonal issues, past liver conditions, and metabolic disorders (especially in the context of obesity). Ayurvedic medicine can help manage these issues, but its also important to consider necessary lab tests to rule out or identify deficiencies.

RECOMMENDED TEST -CBC -LIVER FUNCTION TEST -TSH - SERUM FERRITIN - VITAMIN D3 AND B12 - HbA1c -SERUM ZINC - HORMONAL PROFILE (LH,FSH,TESTOSTERONE)

HELLO LIZA, You’re just 23, but the way your body is reacting severe hair fall, obesity, foul sweat smell, and past liver issues clearly shows that there is a deeper metabolic imbalance, likely starting from poor liver function, low tissue nourishment (dhatu kshaya), and excess internal toxins (Ama). Your body is unable to digest and process food properly, which affects skin, hair, weight, and even sweat composition.We need to first reset your digestion, detox your system (especially liver), and improve nutrition absorption. Hair fall is just the surface symptom the root lies deeper.

Diet and Lifestyle
Pathya: Fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, nutritious food, adequate sleep
Apathya: Avoid salt, sugar, tobacco, and alcohol. Overconsumption of salt and sugar increases dandruff and hairloss. Avoid large amounts of vitamin A.
Shamana
Avoid strong soaps, shampoo or hair sprays. Only use mild castile soaps. Hats and wigs are apt to cause hair to fall out faster, since they limit the air to the scalp. Avoid tension, stress, worry and hurry.
Hairfall and excessive sweat odor can be really quite frustrating. In Ayurveda, these often relate to imbalances in Pitta dosha, stress factors, and sometimes digestive issues like ama, or toxins. Let’s break it down and see what could help.
Since you have a history of liver infection, keeping Pitta dosha in balance is essential. Start by incorporating cooling foods into your diet, such as cucumbers, melons, grapes, and green leafy vegetables. Avoid spicy foods, caffeine, and excessively oily or fried items which can aggravate Pitta and worsen sweating.
Look into herbal remedies like Brahmi, which can help cool and calm the system. Applying Brahmi oil or Bhringraj oil to the scalp may nourish your hair follicles and reduce hairfall. Massaging the scalp at least 2-3 times a week improves circulation too.
Ensure you’re keeping yourself hydrated, as proper hydration can actually help control sweat odor. You might want to add lemon or mint to your water, as they offer freshness and cooling effects.
For body odor, consider bathing with water infused with neem leaves or using a paste of sandalwood powder which naturally helps control sweating. Start gentle exercise routines like yoga or walking in the evening when it’s cooler, as exercise helps reduce stress and regulate metabolism without overheating the body.
Since obesity can contribute to excess heat in the body, focus on a gradual weight loss plan. Regular meals that are sattvic (pure and balanced) can support both weight management and liver health.
If you’re uncertain about specific deficiencies, consider a complete blood count (CBC) to start with. Consulting a healthcare professional for a liver function test (LFT) might be wise, given your medical history. Always remember, it is best to consult an ayurvedic practitioner or healthcare provider to guide specific treatments especially with regards to liver health and any potential tests or follow-ups needed.
