Severe Hair Fall, Management of 'Low' Blood Pressure related Dizziness, Chin Acne - #27246
Dear Doctors, Thank you very much for taking time out to help people with their ailments. We truly appreciate it. I am a 45 years old female. I have listed below common questions that doctors ask/advice about and problems. Would greatly appreciate assistance regarding the same. Hormones/Surgery: My Uterus, Fallopian tubes and Right ovary were removed a few years ago (My left ovary is intact) Diet: I am a Vegetarian. I eat a reasonably good diet of vegetables, fruits, pulses, grains & dairy. I generally avoid white sugar and take healthier forms such as Jaggery, Panagarkandu or honey. I drink 2.5 cups of coffee & tea a day. I feel very dull and tired if I do not take it. I catch a headache too. I discontinued it for 3 years, but found no improvement in my overall health, so, added it back into my diet. Hair Oils: Both Coconut oil & Sesame Oil cause my body to cool down a lot and I therefore get severe migraines often on hair wash days along with experiencing a lot of tiredness. I catch cold too in winters when I use these oils. Hair wash: I use Meera Shikakai powder to wash my hair after oiling once a week (I wash after 20-30 minutes). Vitamin C intake: My body cools down and I catch migraines and cold if I take citrus (Vitamin C) fruits in the forms of fruits as such or juice such as Lemon juice, Kiwis, Amla juice, orange juice, etc. But, I instead try to include some of them in other ways such as pickles or lemon rice, etc. This does not affect me. Problems: 1) I have been suffering from severe hair fall for a few years now and my hair volume has reduced drastically. I have tried AVP Durdurakera tailam (coconut oil base) for a year as recommended by an ayurveda doctor and then followed with AVP Chemparathuyadi tailam (coconut oil base) for another year. No improvement and infact, hair fall is worse now. I have been using betel leaves and small onions infused in coconut oil for 2-3weeks now, but that is also causing a lot of hair to fall. 2) I also get acne and white heads on my chin now and then and the chin feels bumpy always. It is slightly better with using 'clean and clear' face wash once a day. 3) My blood pressure falls down often and I become very dizzy. I use salt and/or jaggery to feel normal again along with resting. My pressure also falls post having meals after ekadashi fasting (I take coffee/tea/milk alone during fasting days). Kindly suggest easily doable and practical remedies for the above problems as too many complicated medications just makes it difficult to comprehend/follow. Thank You very much once again for your time. Regards

Hello Lakshmi ji, After analysing your detailed history, I recommend the following treatment. The condition of hair and skin are indicators of our overall health. Changes in hair texture, appearance, or growth rate, as well as skin’s color, texture, and presence of rashes or lesions, can reflect underlying health issues. So, internal medicine and external treatment both are needed. Treatment - 1. Neem ghanvati 1-0-1 after meal 2. Mahamanjisthadi kwath 30ml with 30 ml water twice a day after meal 3. Amalaki rasayan+ Black sesame seed powder - 1 tsp with water twice a day before meal 4. Rogan Badam oil -2-2 drops in each nostril either in the morning empty stomach or at bedtime. 5. Apply Aloe vera gel after cleaning the face with rosewater 6. Apply kumkumadi tel before bedtime 7. Ashwagandha capsule -1capsule at bedtime. Follow these - 1. Adequate amount of water 2. Eat antioxidant rich food like amla, beans, green tea, spinach etc 3. Clean your towel and pillowcase every week 4. Avoid using makeup or some chemical product especially before sleeping. 5. Boil 1 spoon of triphla powder in 2 glasses of water,let it cool then use this for hairwash once a week. 6. Stress management -Through meditation, walking Yoga- Anulomvilom, Vajrasana,uttapadasana.
