Include protein and iron rich foods in your diet.
Eggs, paneer, sprouts, spinach, dates, raisins, all types of nuts, seeds, amla. Always keep the body hydrated.
1. Nilibhringadi kera tailam for head massage weekly twice or thrice. 2. Triphala powder for hair wash 3. Cap Trichup 1-0-1 after food.
Always use room temperature water for hair wash. Fenugreek and flax seed boiled water can be used for hair spray. It’s strain can be used as hair mask weekly once. You can refrigerate it. But use it in room temperature
HELLO JUPALLI VEENATHA,
You are experiencing severe hairfall, thinning and poor regrowth, along with history of acne.
In Ayurveda, this combination points to -Pitta aggravation (excess body heat, especially affecting blood and skin)-> causes acne, weakens hair roots - Vata aggravation (dryness, stres, irregular routines )-> weakens nourishment to hair follicles -> thinning, premature shedding -Kapha imbalance (oiliness, clogging of follicles)-> blocks fresh hair growth
So it is a Tridoshic imbalance with pitta predominance. The goal in not just to stop hairfall but also -Detoxify and cool the system (reduce pitta, clear impurities from blood and skin) -Nourish hair roots and tissues -improve digestion and absorption (so nutrients actually reach hair) -reduce stress, regulate sleep, and balance lifestyle (since stress worsens hair loss)
INTERNAL MEDICATIONS
1) MAHAMANJISTHADI KASHAYA= 20 ml with warm water twice daily before meals =purifies blood, reduces acne tendency, controls pitta
2) BHRINGARAJ CHURNA + AMLA CHURNA= 1 tsp each , mixed with warm water or honey in morning =rejuvinates hair roots, promotes natural growth, strengthens follicles
3) NARASIMHA RASAYANA= 1 tsp with warm milk morning or evening =rejuvinative for hair, skin, nails, improves digestion and absorption
4) TRIPALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water =gentle detox, improves gut health, clears toxins
5) SARASWATARISHTA= 15ml with warm water after meals =calms mind, reduces stress- related hair fal
DURATION= 3 months minimum for visible stable results
EXTERNAL THERAPIES
1) NEELIBRINGADI TAILA= warm and massage scalp twice a week , leave 1 hr, then wash with mild herbal shampoo =strengthens root, prevents dandruff, cools scalp, nourishes hair
2) HERBAL HAIR WASH POWDER= shikakai + reetha + hibiscus + fenugreek- instead of chemical shampoo =gentle cleansing without stripping natural oils
3) ALOE VERA PULP WITH FEW DROPS OF LEMON applied on scalp once weekly =reduces itching, dandruff, balances oiliness
YOGA ASANAS- improve circulation to scalp, balance hormones -adhomukhasana - vajrasana improves digestion -sarvangasana -setu bandhasana
PRANAYAM -Nadi sodhana= balances doshas, reduces stress -Sheetali and sheetkari= reduce pitta, helpful for acne + hair -Bhramari= relaxes nervous system
MEDITATION -10-15 minutes daily-> reduces stress hormones that trigger hairfall
DIET -fresh fruits= amla, pomegrante, papaya, coconut water -vegetables= gourds, cucumber, carrots, spinach -Proteins= moong dal, sprouted beans, panner, eggs (if you eat) -Fats= ghee, sesame oil, flaxseeds, walnuts
AVOID -excess spicy, oily, fried foods -junk/processed foods, sugary items -overuse of coffee/tea, alcohol -very late nights, irregular meals
LIFESTYLE -regular sleep 10-11 pm max bedtime -gentle head massage before sleep with few drops of coconut oil -protect scalp from harsh sun, polluted air
HOME REMEDIES -Amla juice= 20 ml daily empty stomach -Fenugreek seeds= soak overnight grind, apply paste on scalp weekly -Onion juice= any diluted (mixed with aloe vera) on scalp once weekly for regrowth -Curry leaves= boil in coconut oil, strain, use as hair oil
Your hairloss is not permenent- it’s the body signaling imbalance after shifting environment, diet and climate. Acne already improving is a positive sign. With 3-6 months of consistent internal medicines, external care, and diet lifestyle discipline, you should seee controlled hairfall, stronger roots, and gradual regrowth
Patience is key= Hair growth slowly (about 1 cm per month), so visible changes will be step by step.
DO FOLLOW
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

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 Veenatha ji,
I understand your concern. Moving to a new city, especially a place like Hyderabad with different water, food, and climate, can trigger sudden hair fall, thinning, and slow regrowth. Since you are just 22, with no chronic illness, the good news is that with the right care, diet, and Ayurvedic remedies, your hair can regain strength and thickness.
Along with your acne treatment, we need to focus on balancing Pitta & Vata dosha, nourishing the scalp, and supporting new hair growth.
✅ AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT
✅ INTERNAL MEDICATION
1. Amla Powder 1 tsp powder with warm water morning (rich in Vitamin C, strengthens hair roots).
2. Triphala at night – 1 tsp with warm water (improves digestion & detox, indirectly reducing hair fall).
3. Bhringraj capsules 1-0-1 after food – (known as “Keshraj” – king of hair herbs).
✅ EXTERNAL CARE
👉 Oil Massage (2–3 times per week)
Use Neelibhringadi Taila or Bhringraj Taila, warm slightly and massage gently into scalp. Leave for 30–45 minutes before mild herbal shampoo wash. Improves blood flow, strengthens roots, and reduces dandruff.
👉 Hair Pack (weekly)
Mix Amla + Bhringraj + Hibiscus powder with curd or aloe vera gel. Apply on scalp for 20–30 mins, then wash off. Helps reduce hair thinning and promotes regrowth.
✅DIET MODIFICATION
✅Include Amla, sesame seeds, walnuts, almonds, pumpkin seeds, coconut, ghee, leafy greens, curry leaves.
Daily warm milk with ½ tsp ghee or almond milk for nourishment.
Fresh fruits like pomegranate, papaya, guava, citrus fruits.
❌ Avoid
Excess spicy, oily, fried, and junk foods (aggravate Pitta). Cold drinks, carbonated beverages, late-night eating. Stress & irregular sleep (major triggers for hair loss).
✅LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION
Wash hair with soft / filtered water if possible – hard water worsens hair fall.
Practice Yoga / Pranayama – especially Anulom Vilom & Shitali – to balance stress & hormones.
Sleep 7–8 hours daily – essential for hair regrowth cycle.
Avoid frequent chemical treatments, straighteners, or harsh shampoos.
✅WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
With consistent care, you can notice reduction in hair fall in 6–8 weeks.
Visible regrowth & thickness usually takes 3–4 months of regular practice.
With steady care, your hair fall will reduce and natural regrowth will improve.
Wishing you healthy, thick, and shining hair! 😊

Hair fall and thinning can sometimes be linked to environmental changes, diet, or stress. Since you recently moved, it’s possible these factors might be influencing your hair health. In Ayurveda, hair health is closely connected to your body’s dosha balance. An imbalance, particularly in Vata and Pitta doshas, can lead to hair fall and thinning.
To address this, a balanced diet and lifestyle adjustments play a key role. Start by including incorporating foods such as amla (Indian gooseberry), rich in vitamin C and antioxidants. You could have amla juice or include it in your diet (fresh or powdered form).
Sesame seeds and almonds are also beneficial; both contain nutrients that promote hair growth and strength. Have a handful of these nuts daily.
For topical treatments, you can regularly massage your scalp with warm bhringraj oil or coconut oil. This helps improve blood circulation and nourishes the hair follicles. Doing this 2-3 times a week might reduce hair fall.
Avoid going to bed with your hair wet, as damp hair is more vulnerable to damage. Use a soft towel to gently dry your hair. Reduce the use of harsh shampoos and chemicals, instead, opt for natural cleansers like reetha (soapnut) and shikakai, which are traditionally used in Ayurveda for hair care.
Finally, reducing stress can positively affect hair health, so consider incorporating yoga or meditation into your routine at least three times a week.
If these measures do not lead to improvement, or if the hair fall is excessive, it’s best to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and tailored guidance. Hair needs patience and consistent care, but with proper attention, you should see gradual improvement.
You’re experiencing a common issue that can be influenced by several factors, such as changes in location, lifestyle, diet, or climate. In Siddha-Ayurvedic terms, hair fall and thinning often relate to an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, which governs metabolic activities and affects skin and hair health. The move to Hyderabad with its specific climate and water quality might have disrupted your dosha balance. Let’s explore several things you can try.
First, examine your diet: increase intake of food that pacify Pitta like fresh fruits (especially melons and grapes), vegetables (cucumber, squash), and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. Avoid spicy, fried, or excessively hot foods that might aggravate Pitta. Include amla (Indian gooseberry) in your diet—it is rich in vitamin C and supports hair growth.
For external application, try using bhringraj oil or coconut oil infused with hibiscus flowers for scalp massages. This practice, done 2-3 times a week, can nourish the scalp and enhance circulation to the hair follicles.
Incorporating lifestyle practices is equally important. Ensure you get enough sleep and manage stress levels; both are crucial to maintaining hair health. Practicing pranayama (breathing exercises) may help reduce stress and balance your body’s doshas.
If there’s chronic hair fall despite these efforts, please consult with a healthcare professional to assess any underlying conditions or nutrient deficiencies. Severe acne, though improving, may also need monitoring to ensure they aren’t causing further dosha imbalances or affecting hair health indirectly. Adjusting these aspects gradually should lead to improvement.
