HELLO NIPA NAGRECHA JI,
At age 59, your body is entering a natural stage where tissue strength (dhatus) and natural oils gradually reduce. Ayurveda calls this process Vata dominance with dhatu kshaya (degeneration)
Your main complaints
1) FRECKLES AND PIGMENTATION (more on nose)= Due to excess pitta (heat, sun exposure, blood impurities) combined with vata (dryness, ageing) MODERN VIEW= melanin (skin pigment) becomes uneven-> freckles, age spots, pigmentation
2) DRY SKIN= from vata imbalance-> loss of oiliness, rough texture MODERN VIEW= reduced natural sebum, hormonal decline
3) HAIR FALL= combination of pitta (heat damaging follicles) + vata (weak nourishment) -often linked with age, nutritional deficiencies, or stress
TREATMENT GOALS -Reduce pigmentation and freckles= by purifying blood and balancing pitta -Nourish skin and reduce dryness = by restoring rasa and meda dhatu -Control hairfall and strengthen scalp= by nourishing asthi and shukra dhatu -Rejuvination = to slow ageing, support long term skin and hair health

For pigmentation and freckles, Ayurveda provides several strategies. Your complexion concerns often relate to an imbalance in the Pitta dosha. Correcting this involves cooling and soothing practices. You might start with a simple remedy using turmeric, a potent anti-inflammatory. Mix a pinch of turmeric powder with honey to create a paste and apply it to the affected areas every alternate evening. Leave it on for about 20 minutes before rinsing off gently with cool water. Another effective solution is using almond oil; massage a few drops into your skin before bedtime to nourish dryness, it also helps lighten pigmentation over time.
For your dry skin, keeping your body hydrated is crucial, both inside and out. A warm sesame oil massage, known as Abhyanga, before bathing, can alleviate dryness. Try using a gentle cleanser that doesn’t strip natural oils, and avoid very hot water. Following your bath, applying a natural moisturizer like aloe vera gel can help lock in moisture. Keeping hydrated with water and incorporating soothing, moisturizing foods like ghee and coconut oil in your diet can support your skin health even further.
Hair loss often connects to both Vata and Pitta imbalances. Bhringraj oil is recommended in such cases. Massage it into the scalp two to three times a week, leaving it on for at least an hour before washing it out with a mild herbal shampoo. A diet rich in proteins, leafy greens, nuts, and seeds can also strengthen hair follicles from within.
An overall lifestyle adjustment embracing exercise, yoga, or meditation can help settle both Vata and Pitta, managing stress which can exacerbate these issues. Ensuring enough sleep and avoiding latenight stressors can also contribute significantly to the healing process. If issues persist, it’s worth considering a personalized assessment from an Ayurvedic practitioner to finetune these recommendations!
Pigmentation and freckles often require a multifaceted approach in Siddha-Ayurveda, especially given your dry skin and hair fall issues as well. These symptoms may indicate imbalances in your Pitta and Vata doshas. For skin pigmentation, you might want to start with a simple turmeric face pack. Mix turmeric powder with milk or aloe vera gel, apply it gently to the affected areas, and leave it on for about 15-20 minutes before rinsing with lukewarm water. Use this remedy 2-3 times a week.
Dietary adjustments can play a crucial role as well. Increase your intake of foods that are cooling and soothing to calm Pitta, such as cucumbers, watermelon, and leafy greens. Hydration is essential, so ensure you’re drinking enough water throughout the day.
For your dry skin, consider incorporating sesame oil into your daily routine. Massage a small amount of warm sesame oil onto your skin before your morning shower. This may help nourish your skin and keep it supple.
Hair fall can often be tackled by maintaining a healthy scalp and promoting a better balance for Vata dosha. You can try applying Brahmi oil to your scalp a few times a week. Leave it on for at least an hour before washing it out with a mild herbal shampoo. Make sure your diet also includes foods that are rich in iron and proteins, like legumes and whole grains.
Addressing these issues holistically also involves managing stress and ensuring you get adequate sleep. Regular practice of meditation or calming breathing exercises like Pranayama can help maintain the balance in your body’s energy. With a steady routine, these integrated approaches may noticeably improve skin and hair health over time.
