Doctors’ responses
There’s a lot to unpack here, and it’s great that you’re taking a proactive approach to your health. Let’s break down each of your concerns with a focus on practical, actionable steps, keeping your situation and preferences in mind.
Hair Thinning and Thicker Hair Hair thinning can be caused by many factors, including genetics, hormonal changes (like PCOD), nutritional deficiencies, stress, and lifestyle. Since your scalp is showing, it’s important to address this holistically.
Diet and Nutrition: What you eat is crucial for hair health. Ensure your diet is rich in protein, which is the building block of hair. Include lean meats, eggs, fish, and legumes. Iron deficiency is a common cause of hair loss, so eat iron-rich foods like spinach, lentils, and red meat. Biotin, found in eggs, nuts, and sweet potatoes, and omega-3 fatty acids, found in fatty fish like salmon and walnuts, also support hair growth and strength.
Scalp Care: A healthy scalp is the foundation for healthy hair. Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo to avoid stripping natural oils. Regularly massaging your scalp with your fingertips can increase blood circulation to the hair follicles, promoting growth. You can use a carrier oil like coconut or jojoba with a few drops of rosemary or peppermint essential oil for added benefits.
Avoid Harsh Treatments: Limit the use of heat styling tools like straighteners and blow dryers, as they can damage hair strands and make them more prone to breakage. Avoid tight hairstyles that pull on the hair roots.
Losing Fat and Gaining Muscle Since you can’t go to the gym, your focus will be on at-home workouts and nutrition. This is definitely achievable! The key is consistency.
Nutrition is Key: This is the most important factor for both fat loss and muscle gain. Focus on a diet with a caloric deficit for fat loss, but ensure you’re getting enough protein to support muscle growth. Aim for about 1.6-2.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. Choose whole, unprocessed foods like fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and complex carbohydrates.
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT): HIIT workouts are fantastic for burning fat and can be done anywhere. A typical HIIT workout involves short bursts of intense exercise followed by brief recovery periods. For example, you could do 30 seconds of jumping jacks followed by 15 seconds of rest, and repeat for 10-15 minutes. This keeps your metabolism elevated for hours after the workout.
Bodyweight Strength Training: To build muscle without weights, focus on compound exercises that use multiple muscle groups.
Squats and lunges for your legs and glutes.
Push-ups (modify with knees on the ground if needed) for your chest and triceps.
Planks and crunches for your core.
Inverted rows using a sturdy table or bedsheet for your back.
Knee and Wrist Pain Given your recent fall, the most crucial step is to allow your body to heal properly. Avoid any activities that aggravate the pain.
Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation (R.I.C.E.): This is the gold standard for immediate care of minor injuries. Rest the affected joints. Apply ice (wrapped in a cloth) for 15-20 minutes several times a day to reduce swelling. Use a compression bandage to help with swelling, and elevate the injured limb above your heart.
Gentle Movement: Once the initial pain and swelling subside, start with gentle, pain-free movements to maintain flexibility. For your wrist, you can do slow, controlled circles and gentle stretches. For your knees, try gentle leg lifts while sitting or lying down. Do not push through any pain.
Strengthening Exercises: Once you’re pain-free during movement, you can gradually introduce strengthening exercises to support the joints. For knees, focus on strengthening the quadriceps and hamstrings. For wrists, use a light resistance band or a small weight to perform wrist curls.
Remember, . It’s crucial to consult with nearest healthcare professionals for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, especially considering your history of epilepsy and PCOD.
No need to worry,
First of all avoid excessive pittavardhak ahar vihar like too spicy, sour,salty and fried food.
And start taking these medications, 1.Narsimha rasayana 1tsf with lukewarm milk at bed time only. 2.Amalki choorna 1tsf with lukewarm water twice in a day. 3.Trichup cap.1-0-1 4.Navaka guggulu 2-0-2 for chewing.
*Massage your scalp with Nilibhringrajadi oil thrice in a week. *And with castor oil 4 times in a week.
Follow up after 45 days.
If you have any doubt, feel free to ask.
Take care😊

For hair thinning, focus on balancing your doshas to strengthen your hair from the root. In Ayurveda, hair health is closely tied to the balance of Vata and Pitta doshas. Consider incorporating nourishing oils such as Bhringraj or Amla oil. Apply them to your scalp and leave overnight once or twice a week, massaging gently to stimulate blood circulation. Also, consume a Pitta-pacifying diet that includes cooling foods like cucumbers, melons, and leafy greens. Reducing stress through meditation or yoga can also be beneficial, as mental stress is a common contributor to hair problems.
For losing fat and gaining muscles without gym access, focus on a balanced diet and home-based exercises. Embrace high-protein foods like legumes, paneer, and nuts which will support muscle gain while reducing overall calorie intake to promote fat loss. Regularly engage in body-weight exercises such as push-ups, squats, and planks at home to build muscle. Including yoga asanas such as Surya Namaskar can also enhance muscle strength and flexibility. Ensure that you are staying hydrated and eating meals that maintain the digestive fire, Agni, like ginger tea or lightly spiced broths, to promote metabolism.
For knee and wrist pain after injury, immediate relief can often be found with RICE therapy (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation). However, Ayurveda recommends using hot oil massage with Mahanarayan oil on the affected areas when the pain has been there for a while, especially when the pain is dull-emitting and stiffness is observed. Besides—incorporating anti-inflammatory foods such as turmeric and ginger into your daily routine can aid in the healing proccess. Consider adjustments in your activity levels to avoid strain. If the pain persists or worsens, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to rule out any serious injury.
Your hair thinning difficulty with muscle gain and joint pain or all sciences that your body needs support for tissue strength, dictation and Armon and balance Ayurvedic medicines along with proper diet home exercise and tropical oils can gradually improve these issues Bringaraja powder 0-0-1 tsp with warm water Ashwagandha churna 0-0-1/2 tsp at night Mahayogaraja guggulu 1-0-1 Dashamoola aristha 2-0-2 tsp with equal water after food Triphala churna 0-0-1 tsp Mahabringarajadi tailam - scalp massage
To address your concerns about hair thinning and achieving stronger, thicker hair, focusing on your dosha balance can help. If your scalp is showing, it may indicate an imbalance, possibly a vitiation of Pitta dosha leading to hair fall. Begin with a gentle head massage using bhringraj or coconut oil, warmed slightly, to improve blood circulation and strengthen hair roots. Do this twice a week. Try incorporating amla juice in your diet, around 20 ml every morning on an empty stomach, as it has properties that strengthen the hair. Additionally, consider reducing stress and including cooling foods like cucumbers and melons in your diet.
Regarding losing fat and gaining muscle without going to a gym, pay attention to your metabolism or Agni. Consider following a Kapha-balancing diet that includes light, warm foods. Opt for home-cooked meals rich in proteins like lentils, beans, and nuts. Begin with bodyweight exercises like squats, lunges, and wall push-ups for muscle gain. Start with 15 minutes daily, gradually increasing to suit your energy levels. Also, practice yoga postures such as Surya Namaskar to enhance flexibility and muscle tone.
For knee and wrist pain due to injury, using turmeric and ginger paste can help reduce inflammation. Apply this paste to the affected areas twice a day and leave it on for about 30 minutes before washing it off. It’s also important to rest the joints and avoid movements that exacerbate pain. Wrap the areas with a soft bandage for support. If swelling, severe pain, or mobility issues persist, please see a healthcare professional without delay as it might require more in-depth intervention. Always prioritize safety and never delay getting necessary medical attention.
HELLO PAWNI,
1) HAIR THINNING/SCALP SHOWING -In Ayurveda, hair is nourished by asthi dhatu (bone tissue) and supported by good digestion (agni) -When there is stress, hormonal imbalance (like in PCOD) , poor diet, or excess heat (Pitta dosha), hair roots weaken-> thinning, hair fall, scalp visibility
2) FAT GAIN/ DIFFICULT IN MUSCLE GAIN -Extra fat comes from meda dhatu dushti (imbalance of fat tissue) and weak digestion/metabolism (agni mandya) -Muscles require good protein, strength and balanced metabolism to grow -If digestion is weak, body stores fat but doesn’t build muscle
3) KNEE AND WRIST PAIN AFTER FALL -Injury + vata aggravation -> pain, stiffness, reduced healing -weak tissues or low nourishment can delay recovery -if untreated this can become sandhivata (chronic joint pain)
