How to managehigh prolactin, insomnia and alopecia - #26279

Nikieta

I'm a 34 year old Female. I have high prolactin, insomnia, alopecia, obesity, insulin resistance, gut issues. Low motivation, mood swings, lack of energy. Have been facing these issuesfor more than 5 years. Have tried glycomet but it doesn't suit me so stopped, was taking melatonin and later zol fresh tablet for sleep but now body is resistant to it so stopped that too. I feel like eatinga lot of carbs because ofgut issues and insulin resistance. But slowly trying to add more proteinin diet. Most dals cause bloating and acidity in mycase but recently I am able have white chickpea and black chickpea without much bloating. However most other dals cause bloating and discomfort. Used to use minoxidil for alopecia for about 3-4 years, then stopped it because of side effects and lost the hair again. It has becomevery thin, frizzy and difficult to manage.

Age: 34
Chronic illnesses: Asthma, insulin resistance, high prolactin, insomnia and alopecia

I am Dr Misba Gaded and ya, I'm an Ayurvedic physician with a BAMS degree—Ayurveda isn’t just my profession, it kinda became the way I see health, honestly. I mainly focus on general wellness n women’s health.. both areas really close to me for different reasons. Over time, I’ve got used to seeing a wide range of stuff like skin problems (those chronic ones that keep bouncing back), obesity, digestion that just won’t stay calm, joint pain that lingers, and typical things like constant fatigue or that never-ending cough & mild fevers. Sometimes it's more about untangling what's not obvious, right? One of my deeper areas of interest is women’s wellness.. I deal a lot with hormonal mess-ups—like PCOS, irregular periods, ovarian cysts, or issues around garbhashaya (womb care). Most women I meet are juggling so much, and it's like, they forget their own balance in all that. I try to bring that back through a mix of Ayurvedic herbs, food tweaks, daily routine shifts and even simple yoga flows if they’re open to that. Not like some magic fix in a bottle kinda thing.. it’s more patient, more layered. Sometimes we go all classical—formulations from the granthas, tailor-made to the person's prakriti and vikruti. Other times it’s just about cleaning up gut stuff and giving digestion some peace. That helps a lot more than people expect. I don't usually rush through consults, coz I need to really listen—sometimes what a person’s not saying tells you more than what they are. Anyway, I’m not into overcomplicating treatment or going all flashy about Ayurveda. I like keeping it rooted. I just want to help people feel more “at ease” in their own body again, whether it’s through a ghee-prep or a lifestyle reset or calming an aggravated pitta that's burning them from inside out. That's kinda the space I work in. Every person comes in with their own story.. I just try to meet them where they are and walk with them from there.

HELLO NIKIETA,

You are experiencing a combination of hormonal, metabolic, nervous system, and digestive disorders.

High prolactin= hormonal imbalance due to stress, impaired metabolism(kapha-vata aggravation)

Insomnia= Vata imbalance (racing thoughts, nervous system hyperactivity)

Alopecia(hair fall)= poor digestion(Agni) , excess vata and pitta in scalp, stress, low nutrition

Obesity, Insulin resistance= Kapha and Meda (fat tissue) accumulation, weak Agni(digestive fire)

Gut issues, bloating= weak digestive fire (Mandagni), vata imbalance in intestines

Mood swings, low energy= vata-pitta imbalance, chronic stress, poor nutrition, hormonal dysregulation

HOW THESE CONDITIONS CONNECT -High prolactin may be due to stress or pituitary imbalance (linked with adrenal exhaustion) -Insulin resistance and obesity further disturb hormones, worsen sleep, increase cravings -Poor digestion leads to “Ama” (toxins), which further disturbs metabolism, energy, skin and hair -Hair loss is a symptom of deeper nutritional, digestive and hormonal issues.

TREATMENT GOAL -balance kapha, reduce ama(toxins) -restore Agni(digestive and metabolic fire) -calm Vata (especially for sleep, stress, digestion) -support healthy hormones (especially prolactin, insulin) -nourish hair tissues (Asthi and Majja dhatus) -improve emotional and mental wellbeing

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

**FOR HORMONAL BALANCE

-BRAHMI VATI= 1 tab in morning for 3 months =calms mind, improves mood and memory

EXTERNAL TREATMENT(if feasible visit panchakarma clinic for this procedures)

SLEEP DRINK= warm milk with pinch of nutmeg+dash of turmeric at bedtime

DIGESTION= 1 tsp fennel + 1 tsp ajwain after meals

Nikita, you’re facing a multi system imbalance, but Ayurveda can help deeply because it dosen’t treat symptoms in isolation- it works by balancing the entire body-mind system. -start slowly with diet and medications -be consistent for 3-6 months

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

hello nikieta, you’re facing a complex but connected set of issues that all relate to hormonal imbalance, metabolic sluggishness, and gut disturbance. High prolactin, insulin resistance, obesity, alopecia, mood swings, and insomnia are all symptoms that suggest disturbed Agni (digestive fire) and blocked channels (srotorodha), especially of Manovaha srotas (mind-body pathway), Rasavaha and Medovaha srotas (nutrient and fat metabolism). Years of imbalance, wrong diet, or chronic stress can cause Ama (toxins) accumulation and disturb Vata–Kapha, worsening both physical and mental health. Medicines alone won’t work unless digestion is corrected first, so we’ll start with Ama Pachana (toxin removal) and then give core treatment.

Phase 1: Ama Pachana (first 5–7 days)

Hingwashtak Churna – 1 tsp with warm water before meals Triphala Churna – 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime

Phase 2: Main Medicines (start after 7 days of above)

Kanchanara Guggulu – 2 tablets twice daily after meals Chandraprabha Vati – 2 tablets twice daily after meals Ashwagandha Churna – ½ tsp with warm milk at bedtime Sutshekhar Ras (Plain) – 1 tablet before food twice daily (for acidity and bloating) Ayaskriti – 10 ml with equal warm water after meals (for iron and metabolism) Brahmi Vati (Gold optional) – 1 tablet at night for sleep, stress, memory

Hair Support (External)

Neelibhringadi Tailam – Apply warm oil on scalp 2–3 times a week, leave for 1 hour, wash with herbal shampoo Shikakai & Arappu powder mix – Herbal hair wash weekly instead of chemical shampoos

Follow-up: Review after 6–8 weeks.

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

Based on the symptoms you’ve described, it seems like there’s a complex interaction between your dosha imbalances that needs attention. High prolactin, alopecia, insomnia, insulin resistance, and gut issues indicate a combination of Vata and Kapha imbalances.

For managing high prolactin, consider incorporating Shatavari powder in your daily routine - about 1 teaspoon mixed with warm milk before bed. It’s renowned in Ayurveda for balancing hormones and can help manage prolactin levels naturally. It’s usually safe but, check with your practitioner if you have specific health conditions.

Insomnia can be alleviated with Ashwagandha or Brahmi. Try taking Ashwagandha powder - half a teaspoon mixed with warm milk or water, in the morning. It helps in reducing stress and promotes sound sleep. Brahmi can be taken in capsule form, once daily, which aids cognitive functions and calms the mind, which might also indirectly aid sleep.

For alopecia and hair health, consider Bhringraj oil - gently massage your scalp with the oil before washing your hair a couple of times a week. Including Amla in your diet is also beneficial due to its high vitamin C content that nourishes hair and promotes growth.

Gut issues are likely contributing to your cravings for carbs. Pippali powder can aid digestion and improve metabolic activities. Take a pinch of it with honey before meals. Adding fresh ginger in your tea or meals can help alleviate bloating and discomfort caused by legumes, you might try soaking dals overnight and then throw away the soaking water before cooking to reduce bloating — and start with small amounts to see how you tolerate it.

For insulin resistance, a balanced diet with low glycemic index foods, and regular moderate exercise like brisk walking for at least 30 minutes daily is beneficial. Avoid refined sugars and opt for whole grains in moderated quantities.

Keeping hydrated is essential, so drink plenty of lukewarm throughout the day. Plus, managing stress through Yoga and Pranayama can also have positive effects on overall health and mood swings.

Assessing your body’s response to each advice is crucial - sometimes what works for one may not for another. Keep track of any changes and adjust the regimen as needed, possibly with the guidance of a trained Ayurvedic practitioner, ensuring you’re working safely towards relief from these chronic issues.

To address high prolactin, insomnia, and alopecia holistically, consider focusing on balancing your body’s doshas and improving digestive health. These issues may be linked to vitiated vata and kapha dosha, imbalanced agni, and impacted digestive system.

1. Diet and Nutrition: Start by incorporating a vata-pacifying diet; focus on warm, cooked meals that are easy to digest. Favor whole grains like quinoa and millets, and vegetables such as cooked carrots, zucchinis, and squash. Since dals cause bloating, consider mung beans, which are often easier to digest, in small quantities.

2. Herbal Remedies: For high prolactin and to support hair health, bring in adaptogenic herbs like Ashwagandha, which can help balance hormones and also support sleep. Brahmi and Jatamansi are beneficial too for calming vata and improving sleep. For alopecia, Bhringraj oil can be massaged into the scalp regularly.

3. Daily Routine: Develop a consistent daily schedule, rising with the sun and eating at regular intervals to stabilize energy levels and metabolic processes. Prioritize gentle morning stretches or yoga to enhance circulation and reduce stress.

4. Digestive Health: Consume herbal teas like ginger tea or cumin-coriander-fennel tea to support digestion and reduce bloating. Consider a small piece of ginger with a few drops of lemon juice and salt before meals to stimulate agni.

5. Stress Management: Stress can exacerbate all these conditions, so incorporate meditation or pranayama into your daily routine. Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing) can be particularly calming to the nervous system and may aid in insomnia and mood swings.

6. Sleep Hygiene: Establish a calming pre-sleep routine; turn off screens an hour before bed and opt for a warm bath or reading to wind down. Avoid caffeine and heavy meals in the evening.

Given your symptoms and ongoing issues, it’s important to work alongside a healthcare professional to monitor hormone levels and adjust the approach as needed, especially for insulin resistance and obesity. These conditions require comprehensive management and regular medical follow-ups to prevent long-term complications.

I am Dr Anurag Sharma, done with BAMS and also PGDHCM from IMS BHU, which honestly shaped a lot of how I approach things now in clinic. Working as a physician and also as an anorectal surgeon, I’ve got around 2 to 3 years of solid experience—tho like, every day still teaches me something new. I mainly focus on anorectal care (like piles, fissure, fistula stuff), plus I work with chronic pain cases too. Pain management is something I feel really invested in—seeing someone walk in barely managing and then leave with actual relief, that hits different. I’m not really the fancy talk type, but I try to keep my patients super informed, not just hand out meds n move on. Each case needs a bit of thinking—some need Ksharasutra or minor para surgical stuff, while others are just lifestyle tweaks and herbal meds. I like mixing the Ayurved principles with modern insights when I can, coz both sides got value really. It’s like—knowing when to go gentle and when to be precise. Right now I’m working hard on getting even better with surgical skills, but also want to help people get to me before surgery's the only option. Had few complicated cases where patience n consistency paid off—no shortcuts but yeah, worth it. The whole point for me is to actually listen first, like proper listen. People talk about symptoms but also say what they feel—and that helps in understanding more than any lab report sometimes. I just want to stay grounded in my work, and keep growing while doing what I can to make someone's pain bit less every day.

Dr. Nisha Bisht
I am an Ayurvedic physician with over 10 years of real, everyday experience—both in the clinical side and in managing systems behind the scenes. My journey started at Jiva Ayurveda in Faridabad, where I spent around 3 years juggling in-clinic and telemedicine consultations. That time taught me how different patient care can look when it’s just you, the person’s voice, and classical texts. No fancy setups—just your grasp on nidan and your ability to *listen properly*. Then I moved into a Medical Officer role at Uttaranchal Ayurved College in Dehradun, where I stayed for 7 years. It was more than just outpatient care—I was also involved in academic work, teaching students while continuing to treat patients. That phase really pushed me to re-read things with new eyes. You explain something to students one day and then end up applying it differently the next day on a patient. The loop between theory and practice became sharper there. Right now, I’m working as Deputy Medical Superintendent at Shivalik Hospital (part of the Shivalik Ayurved Institute in Dehradun). It’s a dual role—consulting patients *and* making sure the hospital ops run smooth. I get to ensure that the Ayurvedic care we deliver is both clinically sound and logistically strong. From patient case planning to supporting clinical staff and overseeing treatment quality—I keep an eye on all of it. Across all these years, my focus hasn’t changed much—I still work to blend classical Ayurved with today’s healthcare structure in a way that feels practical, safe and real. I don’t believe in overloading patients or selling “quick detox” ideas. I work on balancing doshas, rebuilding agni, planning proper chikitsa based on the person’s condition and constitution. Whether it’s lifestyle disorders, seasonal issues, chronic cases, or plain unexplained fatigue—I try to reach the cause before anything else. I still believe that Ayurved works best when it’s applied with clarity and humility—not overcomplicated or oversold. That’s the approach I carry into every patient room and every team meeting. It’s a long road, but it’s one I’m fully walking.

Dr. Keerthana PV
I am an Ayurvedic doctor who kinda grew into this path naturally—my roots are in Kerala, and I did my internship at VPSV Ayurveda College in Kottakkal, which honestly was one of the most eye-opening stages of my life. That place isn’t just a college, it’s a deep well of real Ayurveda. The kind that’s lived, not just studied. During my time there, I didn’t just observe—I *practiced*. Diagnosing, treating, understanding the patient beyond their symptoms, all that hands-on stuff that textbooks don’t really teach. It’s where I learned the rhythm of classical Kerala Ayurveda, the art of pulse reading, and how Panchakarma ain’t just about detox but more about deep repair. I work closely with patients—always felt more like a guide than just a doctor tbh. Whether it's about fixing a chronic issue or preventing one from happening, I focus on the full picture. I give a lot of attention to diet (pathya), routine, mental clutter, and stress stuff. Counseling on these isn’t an ‘extra’—I see it as a part of healing. And not the preachy kind either, more like what works *for you*, your lifestyle, your space. Also yeah—I’m a certified Smrithi Meditation Consultant from Kottakkal Ayurveda School of Excellence. This kinda allowed me to mix mindfulness with medicine, which I find super important, especially in today’s distracted world. I integrate meditation where needed—some patients need a virechana, some just need to breathe better before they sleep. There’s no one-size-fits-all and I kinda like that part of my job the most. I don’t claim to know it all, but I listen deeply, treat with care, and stay true to the Ayurvedic principles I was trained in. My role feels less about ‘curing’ and more about nudging people back to their natural balance... it’s not quick or flashy, but it feels right.

Dr. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
ChatGPT said: I am Dr. Maitri, currently in my 2nd year of MD in Dravyaguna, and yeah, I run my own Ayurvedic clinic in Ranoli where I’ve been seeing patients for 2 years now. Honestly, what pulled me into this path deeper is how powerful herbs really are—when used right. Not just randomly mixing churnas but actually understanding their rasa, virya, vipaka etc. That’s kinda my zone, where textbook knowledge meets day-to-day case handling. My practice revolves around helping people with PCOD, acne, dandruff, back pain, stiffness in knees or joints that never seem to go away. And I don’t jump to giving a long list of medicines straight away—first I spend time figuring out their prakriti, their habits, food cycle, what triggers what… basically all the small stuff that gets missed. Then comes the plan—herbs (single or compound), some diet reshuffling, and always some lifestyle nudges. Sometimes they’re tiny, like sleep timing. Sometimes big like proper seasonal detox. Being into Dravyaguna helps me get into the depth of herbs more confidently. I don’t just look at the symptom—I think okay what guna will counter this? Should the drug be snigdha, ushna, tikta? Is there a reverse vipaka that’ll hurt the agni? I ask these questions before writing any combo. That’s made a huge diff in outcomes. Like I had this case of chronic urticaria that would flare up every week, and just tweaking the herbs based on sheetala vs ushna nature... helped calm the system in 3 weeks flat. Not magic, just logic. I also work with women who are struggling with hormonal swings, mood, delayed periods or even unexplained breakouts. When hormones go haywire, the skin shows, digestion slows, and mind gets foggy too. I keep my approach full-circle—cleansing, balancing, rejuvenating. No quick fixes, I tell them early on. What I’m hoping to do more of now is make Ayurveda feel practical. Not overwhelming. Just simple tools—ahara, vihara, aushadha—used consistently, with some trust in the body’s own healing. I’m still learning, still refining, but honestly, seeing people feel in control of their health again—that’s what keeps me rooted to this.

I am Dr. Deepali Goswami, BAMS graduate n working mainly around women's health. Right now m running my own clinic where i treat all kind of gyne problems—from irregular periods to PCOD, white discharge, fertility-related issues, menopausal symptoms n lot more that affects everyday life of females. I usually try to keep the language simple while dealing with patients cause honestly half of them come already confused or like really scared of what's happening inside their body... and if I use too much technical terms it just make it worse. I’ve been practicing in this space for couple of years now—don’t remember the exact month, maybe two or three year back? but anyway, what matters is I’ve seen how many of these problems get ignored till they turn serious. That’s something I feel strongly about. My goal is to help women understand their symptoms early and explain how Ayurveda can help gently but properly, whether it’s hormonal stuff or pain or cycle issues. I use classic Ayurvedic concepts like dosha analysis, ritucharya, n yoni vyapad chikitsa wherever it fits, but sometimes modern lifestyle really needs to be factored in too. Like if someone working night shift, no point telling them to wake up at 5am and do abhyanga daily—it won’t work. I’m practical about it. Anyway, I try my best to create a space where women feel heard. Lot of them said nobody actually explained them what’s going on before. And that’s like the saddest part. I feel my biggest strength is really just listening n tailoring the treatment to her routine, diet n stress pattern. Some cases are harder of course... things don’t always go fast, esp when it’s been neglected for yrs. But then Ayurveda’s not magic. It takes a little time—but results feel real n lasting when done right.

Dr. Hemanshu Mehta
I am Dr. Hemanshu—right now a 2nd year MD scholar in Shalya Tantra, which basically means I’m training deep into the surgical side of Ayurveda. Not just cutting and stitching, btw, but the whole spectrum of para-surgical tools like Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma... these aren’t just traditional, they’re super precise when done right. I’m not saying I know everything yet (still learning every day honestly), but I do have solid exposure in handling chronic pain issues, muscle-joint disorders, and anorectal conditions like piles, fissures, fistulas—especially where modern treatments fall short or the patient’s tired of going through loops. During clinical rounds, I’ve seen how even simple Kshara application or well-timed Agnikarma can ease stuff like tennis elbow or planter fasciatis, fast. But more than the technique, I feel the key is figuring what matches the patient’s constitution n lifestyle... like one-size-never-fits-all here. I try to go beyond the complaint—looking into their ahar, sleep, stress levels, digestion, and just how they feel in general. That part gets missed often. I honestly believe healing isn’t just a “procedure done” kind of thing. I try not to rush—spend time on pre-procedure prep, post-care advice, what diet might help the tissue rebuild faster, whether they’re mentally up for it too. And no, I don’t ignore pathology reports either—modern diagnostic tools help me stay grounded while applying ancient methods. It’s not this vs that, it’s both, when needed. My aim, tbh, is to become the kind of Ayurvedic surgeon who doesn't just do the work but understands why that karma or technique is needed at that point in time. Every case teaches me something new, and that curiosity keeps me moving.

Dr. Karthika
I am currently a PG 2nd yr student in the dept of Shalakya Tantra at Parul Institute of Ayurveda and Research, batch 2024. I joined right after UG—no break—straight into PG (regular batch). I did my undergrad from Rajiv Gandhi Ayurveda Medical College (2017 batch, CCRAS syllabus under Pondicherry Univ). Somehow managed to secure 2nd rank university-wide back then, which I didn’t totally expect. Right now, my core interest lies in the Ayurvedic and integrative management of eye disorders. I’ve got decent exposure to both classical texts and clinical practice. From anatomy to pathology, I try to stay grounded in both the traditional Ayurvedic view and also the modern opthalmic understanding, especially with conditions related to the cornea, retina, and anterior segment. During PG deputation in 2nd year, I handled like 200+ OPD patients daily within 1–2 hrs (felt crazy at first but got used to the pace). I’m also trained hands-on in cataract and cornea surgeries under supervision. Not calling myself a surgeon yet, but I did get a good amout of surgical exposure in the PG postings. In terms of academics, I got 82% in the first-year PG exams—distinction score—secured department 1st and university topper at Parul Institute. Sometimes I do wonder if all this speed actually lets me go deep into each case but I’m learning to balance efficiency with proper patient care. Honestly I think that’s the biggest challenge in clinical ayurveda today—staying rooted in shastra while also being practically useful in today's overloaded OPDs. Anyway, still got a lot to learn, but I try to show up with clarity, humility and the will to keep improving every day.
