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

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’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
