Hair fall and greying at a young age can be quite concerning, but from an Ayurvedic standpoint, this often results from imbalances in your body’s constitution, particularly related to Pitta dosha. Let’s address this by considering both dietary and lifestyle adjustments, as well as some targeted Ayurvedic recommendations.

Diet plays a critical role; aim to include cooling and Pitta-pacifying foods like coconut water, cucumber, and leafy greens. Avoid spicy, oily, and overly salty foods which can aggravate Pitta. Also, consider adding amla (Indian gooseberry) to your diet. It’s rich in Vitamin C and considered a Rasayana, or rejuvenator, that can help with hair health. You may consume it in powdered form with water or as a part of your regular chutney or juice.

For topical treatments, you mentioned that oiling leads to pimples. It’s advisable to choose a lighter oil like coconut oil, which is cooling and less likely to clog pores. Try oiling your scalp once or twice a week in the evening and wash it off in the morning with a mild herbal shampoo instead of leaving it on for too long.

Since the greying is a primary concern, incorporating Bhringraj, both internally as a supplement (according to the appropriate dosage) and externally in a hair oil, could be beneficial. Bhringraj is known for its potential in reversing premature greying.

Stress and lifestyle also majorly impact Pitta dosha. Practices such as Yoga, meditation or Pranayama daily, can help reduce stress levels, promoting better hair and skin health. It’s essential to regulate your sleep patterns as well, aiming for at least 7-8 hours of rest each night.

Remember to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized dosages, especially due to the recent abortion, as your body may have specific needs to address post-procedure. They can provide guidance that was possibly missing post-abortion and recommend additional herbal formulations to support your health.
