Hello Soundarya, I can understand your concern. Your complaints of hair fall, dandruff, thinning hair, pimples, and dull skin are signs of internal toxin accumulation (Ama), Pitta–Kapha imbalance, and weak digestion (Agni).
Ayurveda recommends Detoxifying the body first to improve both skin and hair health.
✅ STEP 1 : Simple Home Detox Remedies
☑️Morning Detox Drink – Warm water with ½ tsp turmeric + ½ tsp lemon juice daily. Helps flush toxins, reduces skin inflammation & dandruff.
☑️Triphala Powder – 1 tsp Triphala in warm water at bedtime. Acts as natural detoxifier, improves digestion, clears bowels, brightens skin.
☑️Neem & Tulsi – Chew 4–5 neem or tulsi leaves every morning, or drink neem-tulsi tea. Works as blood purifier, reduces acne & scalp infections.
☑️Weekly Detox Meal – One day a week, eat only moong dal khichdi with ghee & cumin. Lightens digestion, cleanses body.
✅ STEP 2 - INTERNAL MEDICATION
1 Arogyavardhini Vati – 1-0-1 twice daily after meals (for pimples, skin & liver detox).
2 Manjishtha Churna – ½ tsp with warm water once daily (blood purifier for clear skin).
3 Narasimha Rasayanam – 1 tsp at night with warm milk (for hair growth, skin glow, overall rejuvenation).
✅STEP 3 : EXTERNAL CARE
For Hair: Apply Neem oil + Coconut oil mix on scalp twice a week. Wash hair with Amla + Shikakai + Reetha powder instead of chemical shampoos.
For Skin: Apply Aloe vera + Sandalwood paste on face 2–3 times a week. Avoid heavy creams & oily cosmetics.
✅STEP 4 : Lifestyle & Diet
Drink 2–3 liters of warm water daily. Avoid junk food, cold drinks, excess sugar, dairy, and spicy fried food. Eat more fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Practice Anulom Vilom & Kapalbhati pranayama daily for detox and better skin glow. Sleep 7–8 hours every night – poor sleep worsens hair loss & pimples.
Follow this routine consistently you will definately see the changes from within 😊

HELLO SOUNDARYA,
1) WHY ACNE HAPPENS (your case) -You have comedonal acne (small bumps, blackheads, whiteheads, redness) -Ayurveda says this comes mainly from kapha (oily, sticky nature) + pita (heat, redness, inflammation) -In you, the problem is not severe infection (no pus, no marks), but persistent imbalance- your skin keeps producing blockages. -That’s why it keeps coming back in all seasons
2) WHY DANDRUFF HAPPENS -Dandruff= scalp dryness/falkiness or oily scaling -This is due to kapha + vata imbalance -sometimes linked with digestive issues, stress, and use of wrong hair products
3) WHY HAIR LOSS, THINNING -Ayurveda says - pitta excess + weakening of rakta dhatu (blood tissue) and asthi dhatu (bone tissue) -genetics can play a role, but food/lifestyle strongly influence it
Together, your picture= kapha + pitta imbalance in skin, vata + kapha in scalp, and pitta aggravation in hair
TREATMENT GOALS -Reduce kapha= unclog pores, prevent new comedones -Balance pittta= reduce redness, inflammation, premature greying -Balance vata in scalp= reduce dandruff, dryness -Improve digestion and metabolism= root correction so problem doesn’t keep coming back -Nourish skin and hair tissues

ESSENTIAL FOODS -cow milk+ghee= builds Ojas, nourishes dhatu -black sesame seeds= asthi dhatu enhancer -soaked almonds(5-6)= omega 3+ protein -fresh amla(or juice)= rasayana, anti-pitta -moong dal khichdi= easily digestible -curry leaves(raw/chutney)= rich in iron and vitamin c -dates, figs, raisins= rasa dhatu replenishment

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA
Based on your age and symptoms, it sounds like you’re experiencing a combination of issues that are often linked to hormonal changes, stress, and lifestyle factors.
In Ayurveda, these are often seen as imbalances in the body’s doshas, particularly Pitta and Vata. Here is an Ayurveda-based approach to address your concerns with home remedies.
Ayurvedic Principles for Hair and Skin Health Ayurveda believes that healthy hair and glowing skin are a reflection of a balanced internal system. The key to addressing your concerns is to:
Balance the Doshas: Hair loss, dandruff, and pimples are often associated with an aggravation of the Pitta dosha (fire and water elements) and sometimes Vata (air and space). Pitta imbalances can cause inflammation, heat, and oiliness, leading to acne and a sensitive, itchy scalp. Vata imbalances can lead to dryness, resulting in dandruff and dull, thinning hair.
Improve Digestion: A healthy digestive fire (Agni) is crucial for proper absorption of nutrients. Poor digestion can lead to a buildup of toxins (Ama), which can manifest as skin and hair problems.
Reduce Stress: As a student, you may be under a lot of academic pressure, which can aggravate the doshas and lead to a variety of physical symptoms.
Hair Care Remedies 1. Oil Massage (Shiro Abhyanga) A warm oil massage is one of the most effective treatments for hair health. It improves blood circulation to the scalp, nourishes hair follicles, and helps reduce dandruff. Recommended Oils: Coconut Oil: It’s a great base oil. You can add other herbs to it. Neem Oil: Known for its antifungal and antibacterial properties, it’s excellent for treating dandruff and scalp infections. Bhringraj Oil: Often called the “King of Hair,” it’s highly recommended for promoting hair growth and reducing hair loss. Amla Oil: Rich in Vitamin C, it strengthens hair from the roots. How to use: Gently warm a small amount of oil and massage it into your scalp using your fingertips in circular motions for 10-15 minutes. Leave it on for at least an hour or, for better results, overnight before washing your hair with a mild, herbal shampoo.
2. Herbal Hair Masks These masks can help nourish your hair, combat dandruff, and promote growth. Fenugreek (Methi) Mask: Fenugreek seeds are rich in protein and are very effective against hair loss and dandruff. Soak fenugreek seeds in water overnight. The next morning, grind them into a fine paste. Apply the paste to your scalp and hair. Leave it on for 30-45 minutes and then wash it off. Amla and Neem Mask: This mask is great for dandruff and strengthening hair. Mix Amla powder and Neem powder with water to form a paste. Apply this paste to your scalp and leave it for about 30 minutes before rinsing. Yogurt and Lemon Mask: Yogurt has natural antibacterial and antifungal properties that help with dandruff. Mix a few tablespoons of yogurt with a little lemon juice. Apply it to your scalp and let it sit for about 30 minutes. Wash it off with a mild shampoo.
Skin Care Remedies 1. Herbal Face Packs (Lepa) These packs can help reduce pimples, soothe inflammation, and brighten dull skin. Neem and Turmeric Paste: This is a classic combination with powerful antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Mix a small amount of Neem powder with a pinch of Turmeric powder. Add a few drops of rose water to make a paste. Apply it to your face, especially on the pimples, and leave it on for 15-20 minutes before rinsing. Sandalwood (Chandan) and Rose Water: Sandalwood has a cooling effect that is excellent for Pitta-related skin issues. Mix sandalwood powder with rose water to create a soothing paste. Apply it to your face to calm redness and inflammation and get a natural glow. Besan (Gram Flour) and Turmeric: A traditional cleanser and exfoliator that helps cleanse the skin and reduce blemishes. Mix one tablespoon of besan with a pinch of turmeric and some curd or water to make a paste. Gently scrub your face in a circular motion for a few minutes and then rinse it off.
2. Internal Remedies (Diet and Lifestyle) Ayurveda emphasizes that true healing comes from within. Hydration: Drink plenty of water throughout the day. You can also add a few mint or cucumber slices to your water for a cooling and detoxifying effect. Diet: Avoid Pitta-aggravating foods: Limit spicy, fried, and oily foods, as they increase internal heat and can worsen acne. Eat Pitta-pacifying foods: Incorporate more cooling foods like cucumber, coconut water, melons, and leafy greens. Herbal Teas: Drink herbal teas made from ingredients like Triphala, coriander, fennel, and cumin (CFC tea) to improve digestion and detoxify the body. Stress Management: Practice relaxation techniques like yoga, meditation, and Pranayama (breathing exercises) to reduce stress and balance your hormones.
It sounds like you’re dealing with some common issues. From an Ayurvedic perspective, these symptoms relate to imbalances in the doshas, especially Pitta and Kapha. Let’s focus on simple yet effective remedies. For hair loss and dandruff, massage your scalp with warm sesame or coconut oil infused with Amla (Indian gooseberry) at least twice a week. This can help strengthen hair roots and reduce dandruff. After applying, leave the oil on for at least an hour before washing with a mild, herbal shampoo.
Consider using a hair mask made from yogurt and methi (fenugreek) powder. Apply it once a week. For preparation, soak fenugreek seeds overnight, grind them into a paste, and mix with yogurt. It will help soothe the scalp and promote hair growth.
For skin concerns like pimples and dullness, using a face pack from turmeric and honey can be beneficial. Turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties and honey is moisturizing. Mix turmeric powder with honey to form a paste, apply on the face for 15-20 minutes, and wash with lukewarm water. It can be applied twice weekly.
Your diet is crucial too. Avoid junk food, oily and spicy foods to balance Pitta. Include fresh fruits and veggies, which aid in detoxification. Drink warm water in the morning with a squeezed lemon to cleanse your system. Natural teas like ginger or chamomile can also support detoxification.
Try practicing Pranayama (breathing exercises) and yoga daily, as they can significantly improve your skin and hair health by reducing stress levels, which could be contributing to these issues. Yoga poses like Sarvangasana (shoulder stand) and Matsyasana (Fish Pose) can support hormonal balance, which also affects skin and hair health.
Evaluate your lifestyle overall including sleep patterns. Ensure you get 7-8 hours of quality sleep. Consider sleep as essential healing time for the body. If these issues persist, it would be wise to consult with a local Ayurveda practitioner.
Hello the issues which you are mentioning is due to weak digestion, stress and nutritional deficiencies. You may check CBC ferritin vitamin D, B12 thyroid profile if possible. Take Khadira aristha-4 teaspoon with equal quantity of water twice dairy after food Triphala churna-1 teaspoon with warm water at night Apply bringaraja taila - weekly twice Apply fenugreek + curd hair pack weekly once For face apply Multani Miti + neem + rose water pack liquid twice Drink Amla juice 5 ml with warm water daily Avoid oily junk food Sleep before 11 PM
Neemghan vati. 1-0-1 Amla juice - 5 ml daily with warm water Mahabringaraja taila - for hair Khadira aristha- 2-0-2 tsp after food with water Check CBC and thyroid profile
According to Siddha-Ayurvedic principles, your challenges of hair loss, dandruff, hair thinning, pimples, and dull skin indicate potential imbalances in the doshas, particularly Pitta and Kapha. You’ll want to harmonize these doshas to address the root causes.
For hair issues, incorporating a scalp massage with herbal oils can be beneficial. A combination of Bhringraj oil and coconut oil may help. Warm the oil slightly and massage your scalp 2-3 times a week to nourish hair follicles, enhance blood circulation, and clear out dandruff. Leave it for at least an hour before washing off with mild herbal shampoo.
Internally, herbs like Amla and Neem could help purify blood and reduce inflammation. Consuming Amla juice daily in the morning on an empty stomach can support your hair and skin health. Turmeric with warm water can also be taken empty stomach as it is a natural blood purifier, helping with both pimples and skin dullness.
Addressing the diet is crucial. Try favoring light, cooling foods that pacify Pitta, such as cucumber, gourds, and fruits like pears and apples. Avoid spicy, oily, or fried foods which could aggravate Pimples. Ensure hydrated skin by drinking adequate water and herbal teas like tulsi or mint.
For pimples specifically, apply aloe vera gel directly on the affected areas at night. It calms any inflammation and soothes the skin.
If symptoms persist or worsen, consider consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized medicine. Prioritize addressing lifestyle and stress, as these are significant contributers to dosha imbalance at your age.
