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.
Hello Prachi
I understand how stressful this must feel, and Iâll give you a complete Ayurvedic treatment plan for hair loss along with some reassuring and consoling guidance. Thank you for sharing your concerns. You are experiencing rapid hair fall and thinning scalp for the past year, with visible scalp, and have tried various treatments without benefit. This is causing emotional stress and low confidence.
First, please know: hair thinning at your age is treatable, and with proper care, many young people regain hair density over months. You are not alone, and your hope is valid. đž
Likely Nidana:
1.Pitta-Vata aggravation â causes hair follicles to weaken, leading to hair fall. 2.Ras-Rakta dhatu depletion â insufficient nourishment reaching hair roots. 3.Agni (digestive/metabolic fire) weakness â improper absorption of nutrients. 4.Emotional stress â aggravates Vata, worsening hair fall.
đ Recommended Investigations
1. CBC, Iron, Ferritin â check for anemia. 2. Vitamin D3, B12 â deficiency worsens hair fall. 3. Thyroid profile â hypothyroidism can cause hair thinning. 4. Scalp examination by dermatologist â rule out scalp infections or androgenetic alopecia. 5. Hormonal profile (if female) â LH, FSH, testosterone, prolactin.
đ Internal Medicine
Phase 1 â Rasayana & Dhatu nourishment (2 weeks)
1. Ashwagandha churna â 3 g with warm milk at night (strengthens hair roots & calms Vata). 2. Amla churna â 1 g twice daily with warm water (Vitamin C & antioxidant support). 3. Brahmi vati â 1 tab twice daily (reduces stress & Pitta).
Phase 2 â Hair-sthira & Ras-Rakta support (next 6â8 weeks)
1. Bhringaraja churna â 1 g with warm milk at night (hair growth & pigmentation). 2. Triphala churna â 1 g at night (digestion & detox support). 3. Yashtimadhu (licorice) churna â 1 g with honey, twice daily (anti-inflammatory, hair nourishment). 4. Chandraprabha vati â 2 tabs twice daily after meals (Ras-Rakta dhatu support).
đż External Support / Scalp Care
1.Abhyanga (scalp massage) with Bhringaraja oil, Amla oil, or coconut oil 3â4 times/week. Massage gently 10â15 min. 2.Avoid harsh chemical shampoos; use mild herbal shampoo. 3.Do cool rinses (lukewarm water) after oil massage. 4.Avoid tying hair too tightly or using heat styling frequently.
đ„ Diet & Lifestyle

1. Protein-rich diet â dal, paneer, eggs, sprouts. 2. Nuts & seeds â almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds. 3. Leafy greens, carrots, beets â nourish hair follicles. 4. Hydration â 2â3 L water/day. 5. Amla, pomegranate, and guava â natural antioxidants & hair support.
Apathya (Avoid):
1. Fried, oily, and processed foods. 2. Excess caffeine and carbonated drinks. 3. Excess sugar â worsens Vata-Pitta imbalance. 4. Stressful lifestyle â lack of sleep or overwork.
đ§ââïž Yoga & Lifestyle
1. Asanas: Sarvangasana, Adho Mukha Svanasana, Vajrasana (improve scalp circulation). 2. Pranayama: Anulom Vilom + Bhramari, 10â15 min daily (reduces stress & calms Vata). 3. Adequate sleep (10 pmâ6 am). 4. Stress management â meditation, journaling, or gentle walks in nature.
Hair fall at age 20 is common and reversible if treated systematically.Many patients see noticeable improvement in 2â3 months with consistent care.Your current hair follicles are not lost; they just need nourishment and balance.Gentle scalp care and proper diet can restore strength and shine over time. Remember: self-worth is not defined by hair â you are young, strong, and capable of regrowth. đ±
đŒ With Kind Regards
With patience, consistent Ayurvedic therapy, diet, and lifestyle, your hair fall can reduce, scalp thickness can improve, and confidence will gradually return. Gentle care and positive mindset are as important as medicine.
