HELLO PRASHANT,
You mentioned hair loss in one area only, which most likely falls under a condition called “Alopecia Areata” or a scalp infection, depending on the nature of hair loss. Here’s what that means -The immune system attacks hair roots in alopecia area or there may be poor blood flow to that patch. -In some cases, a fungus or infection affects only one spot. -Hair follicles enter a “resting” phase and stop producing new hair -There is no scarring or pain, but a clear patch with no hair.
In Ayurveda, this is due to -aggravation of Pitta dosha (heat in the body affecting scalp) -vata dosha drying up hairfollicles -raktadushti(impure or overheated blood) -asthi dhatu kshaya(weak bone metabolism affecting hair) -stress or anxiety(affecting prana vata and Ojas)
TREATMENT GOAL -purify blood and reduce pitta -strengthen hair roots and regenerate follicles -improve circulation in the scalp -reduce stress, which worsens hairfall -nourish tissues(rasa, rakta, and asthi dhatu) -restore balance between vata, pitta and kapha

Prevention
Rosemary helps prevent premature baldness and stimulate head circulation. Sage is an astringent, and helps stimulate growth. Yarrow helps liver activity.
It is said that you must faithfully do your selected hair treatment for three months before you will see results.
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.
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.
Take amalaki rasayan 1-0-1 after food with water Ashwagandha churan 0-0-1tsp at bedtime with water Light massage on scalp twice weekly with amla oil keep overnight and wash in the morning with mild herbal shampoo. Include seasonal fruits and seasonal vegetables in your diet daily. Avoid spicy foods

Experiencing hair loss in a single area, also known as alopecia areata, may be due to an underlying issue, potentially linked to dosha imbalances, particularly Vata and Pitta. To approach this through Ayurveda, consider focusing on diet, lifestyle, and specific remedies that address these imbalances and promote hair health.
Start by including cooling and nourishing foods in your diet to pacify Pitta dosha. Incorporate foods like cucumbers, melons, and leafy greens. Avoid spicy, greasy, or acidic foods which might aggravate Pitta. To balance Vata, emphasis on warm, moist, and grounding foods—such as cooked grains, root vegetables, and healthy oils like sesame.
Applying ayurvedic oils for hair, such as bhringraj or coconut oil, can be beneficial. Gently massage your scalp daily to improve circulation and provide nourishment to hair follicles. This massage improves blood flow and helps distribute natural oils evenly, potentially encouraging hair growth.
Consider herbal remedies like ashwagandha or amalaki, both known for promoting overall hair health. These herbs can be taken in powder or capsule form. Check with a practitioner familiar with your situation for appropriate dosage.
Keep stress in check through practices like meditation or yoga, as stress can exacerbate hair loss. Ensure quality sleep too, fostering body’s natural healing processes.
Consulting a local Ayurvedic specialist is recommended for detailed assessment. They can create a personalized treatment plan based on your unique prakriti. This might include the use of certain Panchakarma therapies, which can be very effective.
For immediate concerns or progressive hair loss, consulting a healthcare provider is essential to rule out other medical conditions. If you’re seeking an in-person consultation, visiting a certified Ayurvedic clinic or practitioner in your area, ensuring they align with authentic practices, is a good step.
Experiencing hair loss in just one area can be concerning, but don’t worry—there are ways we can approach this. In Siddha-Ayurvedic medicine, it’s important to zero in on the root cause of the hair loss while considering your overall body constitution, or prakriti. This type of hair loss might relate to imbalances in your doshas, potentially relating to vata disturbances or aggravated pitta due to excess heat or stress.
Firstly, lets tackle the imbalanced vata and pitta which might be causing this issue. You can start by adding cooling and calming elements to your daily routine. Applying medicated oils like Bhringraj or neem oil can be beneficial. Warm a bit of the oil and gently massage into the scalp, particularly focusing on the affected area, two to three times a week. This helps balance the scalp’s doshas and nourish hair follicles.
Dietary changes also play a role. Eating foods high in zinc and iron, along with biotin-rich items like nuts and seeds, could promote hair health. Try to reduce overly spicy or acidic foods which may aggravate pitta.
If you’d like to see more personalized advice, such as specific herbs or formulations like Amla or Brahmi that could work well given your condition, a direct consultation would be ideal. Since I’m not able to provide personal appointments here, visiting a local Siddha-Ayurvedic practitioner could be beneficial. They can examine your unique condition more closely and possibly offer treatments tailored just for you.
A reminder though, if the hair loss seems to worsen or other concerning symptoms develop, it’s wise to seek an immediate consultation to reduce the risk of any underlying serious condition.
