How to grow hair and stop hairfall - #26523
Mariam
For the past one month, I have been experiencing excessive hair fall. The ends of my hair break easily, and there is almost no noticeable hair growth. I’ve tried using herbal oils, but they didn’t help. I must admit that my sleep, diet, and water intake are not consistent or ideal. Could you please help me understand the possible reasons and suggest the right treatment?

Doctors’ responses
Thank you for sharing your concerns clearly. At 24, facing heavy hair fall along with brittle ends and no regrowth — especially after trying herbal oils — is a sign that the problem is coming from within, not just the scalp. In Ayurveda, hair is a by-product of bone tissue (Asthi Dhatu) and its health is directly influenced by Agni (digestion), Vata-Pitta balance, and Rasadhatu (nutritive fluids). Irregular sleep, poor hydration, improper food timing, and recent cold-fever — all these weaken your dhatu formation and create internal heat (Pitta aggravation) and dryness (Vata imbalance), which together lead to excessive hair fall, poor root nourishment, and bad smell sensitivity (a sign of internal toxins or Ama).
Let’s correct the root cause step-by-step.
Step 1: Ama Pachana (First 3–5 days)
Hingwashtaka Churna – 1 tsp with warm water after lunch and dinner (improves digestion, clears toxins)
Trikatu Churna – ¼ tsp with honey before breakfast and dinner
Eat light, warm, freshly cooked food like rice + moong dal + ghee khichdi, soups, pomegranate, and warm water only.
Step 2: Internal Medicines (From Day 4 onwards – Continue for 2–3 months)
Narasimha Rasayanam – 1 tsp with warm milk in the morning (improves hair quality, bone strength)
Drakshadi Kashayam – 15 ml + 15 ml warm water twice daily before meals (clears Pitta toxins and stress-related heat)
Bhringraj Capsules – 1 capsule morning and night after food (hair root nourishment)
External Support
Bhringraj Taila or Neelibhringadi Taila – lukewarm, apply on scalp at night 2–3 times/week, leave overnight
Gentle head massage with fingertips to increase circulation
Use mild herbal shampoo like Shikakai, Hibiscus, or Aloe-based only
Daily Supportive Routine
Sleep by 10:30 PM, avoid screens before bed
Drink warm water frequently, avoid cold drinks
Have 1 tsp ghee daily in meals
Include soaked black raisins (5–6), dates, and almonds (3 soaked, peeled) each morning
Avoid spicy, oily, fermented, or packaged food
Investigations Suggested
CBC (for hidden infections or anemia)
Vitamin D3, Vitamin B12
Thyroid Profile (TSH, T3, T4)
Serum Ferritin (to rule out low iron stores)
With your age and current condition, results can be seen within 4–6 weeks if the treatment and routine are followed sincerely. Your hair will heal once your body is calm, nourished, and toxin-free. Healing isn’t only external — it’s about building strength from the inside.
Warm regards,
Dr. Karthika
