hello Mr.Dineshkumaar,
You are facing thinning hair on the upper scalp, excessive hair fall, dandruff, and a small patch of baldness. This condition is often caused by a combination of nutritional deficiencies, stress, irregular lifestyle, and scalp imbalance. Being away from home and having a poor diet can deprive your body of essential vitamins and minerals that maintain hair health. Dandruff suggests scalp inflammation, dryness, or mild fungal overgrowth, which weakens hair follicles. The visible scalp and the small bald patch indicate that hair roots are currently weak and need strengthening. Ayurvedic management focuses on digestive balance (Ama Pachana), nourishing hair roots, calming scalp inflammation, and promoting hair regrowth naturally. With consistent internal medicine, external therapy, and dietary adjustments, hair fall can be reduced and regrowth encouraged over time.
Prescription: , start with :
Ama Pachana (first 3 days):
Hingwashtak Churna: ½ tsp with warm water before meals, twice daily
Internal Medicines (from day 4 onwards):
Bhringraj Churna: ½ tsp twice daily with warm milk â strengthens hair roots and promotes hair regrowth
Brahmi Churna: ½ tsp twice daily with water â reduces stress, calms Vata, and nourishes scalp
Amla Churna: ½ tsp in warm water in the morning â provides Vitamin C, strengthens hair, reduces graying
Ashwagandha Churna: ½ tsp at night with warm milk â improves immunity, reduces stress-related hair fall
External Therapy:
Bhringraj oil massage on scalp 3â4 times per week, leave for 1â2 hours before washing â nourishes follicles and reduces hair fall
Neem + Amla hair pack once a week â reduces dandruff, calms scalp inflammation, and promotes healthy hair growth
Avoid excessive shampooing; use mild herbal shampoo 2â3 times per week
Diet & Food Nature:
Include: Fresh fruits (papaya, guava, berries), green leafy vegetables, nuts (almonds, walnuts), sesame seeds, whole grains, lentils, eggs or plant protein, flaxseeds
Hydration: Drink plenty of water, herbal teas like fennel, tulsi, or ginger
Avoid: Junk food, fried/oily foods, packaged snacks, excessive caffeine, processed sugar Consider adding coconut water or buttermilk to improve digestion and hydration, which supports hair health
Investigations & Follow-up:
Thyroid profile (T3, T4, TSH) to rule out thyroid-related hair fall CBC, Vitamin B12, iron, and zinc levels Follow-up after 3â4 weeks to assess reduction in hair fall, improvement in scalp condition, and initial regrowth of hair Track hair fall daily and note areas of improvement for accurate follow-up
Warm regards & Concern:
Hair regrowth is gradual; visible changes may take 1â3 months Consistency in internal medicine, oil massage, and diet is crucial Minimize stress, maintain good sleep, and avoid harsh chemical hair treatments
Early intervention improves the chances of restoring hair density and scalp health
Regards, Dr.karthika
