HELLO SURAJ,
Alopecia areata is a rare autoimmune condition where your immune system mistakenly attacks the hair follicles , especially in the scalp. The inflammation destroys the hair follicle permanently- leading to scarring and irreversible hair loss.
KEY FEATURES -patchy hair loss with redness, itching, burning or pain - follicular plugging- scalp looks like small dots or bumps -shiny patches of scalp with no hair follicles- sign of permanent scarring
In Ayurveda, alopecia aerate is viewed as a complex disease involving -vitiation of pitta and vata doshas - involvement of Rakta dhatu (blood tissue) and Mamsa dhatu (muscle tissue) -A condition called Khalitya + Raktadushti + Darunaka + Indralupta aspects
It is chronic and Tridoshaja , especially dominated by Pitta (Inflammation) and Vata (Destruction, dryness, degeneration)
SYMPTOMS YOU ARE EXPERIENCING -patchy hair loss on scalp - redness or inflamed areas -burning or painful sensation in scalp - itchy or tender scalp - no regrowth in some areas
INVESTIGATIONS NEEDED -Scalp biopsy= most important to confirms LPP diagnosis -Trichoscopy(dermoscopy)- magnified look at scalp -Blood test -ANA (anti-nuclear antibodies) -ESR, CRP (inflammation markers) - Thyroid profile (autoimmune thyroiditis) - Vitamin D, B12 - Iron studies
TREATMENT GOAL -stops or slow down progression of scarring -control inflammation-reduce burning, itching, redness - purify blood and reduce autoimmune response - promote regrowth in non scarred areas - rejuvinate and nourish scalp tissues - prevent recurrence
DETOX THERAPY- if feasible go for panchakarma= best results in cases like yours
-VIRECHANA= purgation =clears excess pitta from liver ,blood and skin. very effective for LPP
-BASTI= especially effective for chronic autoimmune conditions. vata- pacifying basis rejuvinate scalp tissues

HELLO SURAJ,
ALOPECIA AREATA is a form of scarring alopecia, an autoimmune condition where the body’s immune system attacks the hair follicles, leading to permanent hair loss and scalp inflammation. Modern treatments often focus on suppressing the immune system and controlling inflammation, but Ayurveda offers to manage the root cause , reduce inflammation and promotes scalp healing
This leads to permanent scarring, so early intervention is key. Ayurveda cannot reverse scarring, but it may help slow or stop progression and improve scalp health
In Ayurveda, it can be considered a tridoshic imbalance, primarily involving
PITTA DOSHA= inflammation, redness VATA DOSHA= dryness, hair loss RAKTA DUSHTI = impurity in blood KHA VAIGUNYA= damage to hair follicle channels
MANAGEMENT PLAN
INTERNAL MEDICATIONS
1) SARIVADYASAVA= 25 ml with equal water after meals twice daily =useful in chronic inflammation and autoimmune skin conditions with redness
2) MAHATIKTAKA GHRITA= 1 tsp with warm milk on empty stomach =deep acting, excellent for chronic skin and hair root damage
3) SOOTSEKHARA RASA= 250 mg with ghee twice daily after meals =actis as a Rasayana, for inflammatory autoimmune conditions
4) PANCHANIMBA VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =specifically useful for pitta-raita aggravation seen in LPP
5) TRIPHALA GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =detox, anti inflammatory balances kapha vata
EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS
1) DURVADI TAILA =apply lukewarm on scalp at night =ideal for burning, redness, oozing lesions
2) KARANJA TAILA =antifungal, anti bacterial, often used in chronic dermatoses with scarring
HERBAL PACK -aloe vera + neem paste -hibiscus leaf paste -manjistha+rose water+multani mitti =apply 1-2 times a week for 30 minutes and wash off with herbal shampoo(amla reetha shikakai )
PANCHAKARMA THERAPY if condition is not responding to basic treatment panchakarma is highly beneficial
-VIRECHANA= for pitta detox -RAKTAMOKSHANA= leech therapy for scalp in chronic inflammation -SHIRODHARA= helps calm mind and head doshas
DIET
AVOID= spicy, sour, fried, fermented food
INCLUDE= cooling foods- coconut water, coriander, cucumber, ghee
Drink TRIPHALA WATER or TURMERIC MILK at night
LIFESTYLE -manage stress= meditation, yoga, bhramari pranayam
AVOID= excess sun exposure , heat. alcohol or stress
Maintain regular sleep= before 10 pm
Ayurvedic treatment needs patience and consistency
It cannot reverse hair loss from scarring but arrest progression
THANK YOU
DR. HEMANSHU MEHTA
1 Bhringamalakadi Taila - extly apply and massage for 10 min. 2 times
2 Jeevamrita Leha or Chyavanaprasha Leha-1 tsf after food 2 times with milk
3.Shuddha Shilajatu-250mg+ Saptamrita Loha - 500mg+ bhringaraja Churna -3gm after food 2 times with honey and ghee Diet and Lifestyle Pathya: Fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, nutritious food, adequate sleep Apathya: Avoid salt, sugar, tobacco, and alcohol. Overconsumption of salt and sugar increases dandruff and hairloss. Avoid large amounts of vitamin A Avoid strong soaps, shampoo or hair sprays. Only use mild castile soaps. Hats and wigs are apt to cause hair to fall out faster, since they limit the air to the scalp.
Avoid tension, stress, worry and hurry.
Alopecia areata can indeed be persistent, and understanding it through the lens of Ayurveda might provide some relief. In Ayurveda, hair loss, including alopecia areata, generally involves an imbalance in the Pitta dosha combined with disturbances in the body’s stressors – often linked with your Prakriti and Agni. Here’s what you can do to address this condition.
First, address the Pitta balance – as it often leads to excessive heat and inflammation, which can affect hair roots. Incorporate cooling foods into your diet. Favor foods like cucumbers, melons, coconut water, and leafy greens. Avoid spicy, sour and very hot foods. These measures may aid in cooling down excess heat in your system.
Second, consider scalp treatments with oils like Bhringraj or Amla oil, which are traditionally accpeted for nourishing the scalp and promoting hair growth. Apply either oil lukewarm, massaging it into your scalp gently. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes before rinsing. This practice should be done 2-3 times a week.
For strengthening digestive fire (Agni), Triphala might help. A nighttime regimen of a teaspoon of Triphala powder mixed with warm water can help regulate digestion and cleansing, further impacting overall health positively.
Additionally, practicing stress-relieving activities such as yoga, meditation, or Pranayama (breathing exercises) can help in balancing potentially increased Vata - often a result of stress and anxiety impacting hair health.
Herbal supplements like Brahmi or Ashwagandha might be beneficial after consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner who can tailor specifics according to your unique constitution. These are generally known for calming Pitta and balancing Vata.
Ensure you remain patient and consistent, as Ayurvedic treatments take time and involve holistic lifestyle enhancements. Always consult an Ayurvedic practitioner before starting any new regimen to tailor the treatment specifically to your condition and constitution.
Alopecia areata can be challenging to manage, but Ayurveda offers a holistic approach to address its underlying causes. In Siddha-Ayurveda, hair health is often linked to imbalances in the doshas, particularly Pitta and Vata, which can affect the scalp and hair follicles. To address this, begin by assessing your daily routine and diet for any Pitta-aggravating factors such as excessive intake of spicy, oily, or fried foods. Including more cooling foods like cucumbers, melons, and leafy greens can help balance your Pitta.
For topical application, consider using a combination of herbs and oils. Bhringraj (Eclipta alba) is highly revered for its nourishing effect on hair. You can prepare an oil infusion by boiling Bhringraj leaves in coconut oil, then applying it onto your scalp two to three times a week. Leave it on for at least an hour before washing it off with mild, natural shampoo.
Incorporate scalp massages into your routine to strengthen hair follicles and improve circulation. Use lukewarm oils like sesame or almond oil, massage gently in circular motions for 10-15 mins, once or twice a week. Avoid washing your hair with very hot water as it can further aggravate Pitta, instead, use lukewarm or cool water.
Internally, Triphala, a combination of three fruits, can help in maintaining digestive balance and promoting hair growth. Taking a teaspoon of Triphala powder with warm water at night may support detoxification and balance in the body. Additionally, Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) taken as a supplement can provide support to hair health by reducing stress and calming Vata dosha.
Remember, consistency is key with Ayurvedic treatments, and it may take some time for significant changes. If you notice no improvements or if new symptoms arise, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional.
