You are noticing hair fall, early greying, and acne — and it can feel frustrating, but the good news is that these are signs your body is asking for nourishment and balance, not a permanent problem.

Excess heat (Pitta) in your body can damage hair pigment and inflame skin → leading to early greying and pimples. Weak digestion (Agni) means your food isn’t fully converted into nutrients for hair and skin. Tissue weakness (Dhatu Kshaya) makes hair roots fragile and skin dull. Even from a modern perspective, low Vitamin B12 can weaken hair roots and cause early greying, and low Vitamin D can slow hair growth and worsen acne. So, to improve hair and skin, we need to cool the body, strengthen digestion, nourish tissues, and support hair roots. Ayurvedic Treatment Plan

Internal Medicines: Gandhak Rasayana – 2 tabs twice dailY Ekangveer Rasa – 2 tabs twice daily Asthiposhak Vati – 2 tabs twice daily Syrup Purodil – 2 tsp twice daily Erand Bhrashta Haritaki – 2 tabs at bedtime

External Care: Acne Fite Cream – apply on pimples twice daily Panchakarma / Nasya: Nasya with Mulethi Oil – 2 drops in each nostril twice daily

Lifestyle & Diet Tips Drink Amla juice every morning → natural Vitamin C, nourishes hair & skin Sunlight 15–20 min early morning → natural Vitamin D Eat fresh, warm, lightly oily food with ghee Avoid junk, fried, spicy, and cold foods Practice yoga or meditation to reduce stress Sleep well and stay hydrated

Hairfall and greying, along with acne, often arise from imbalances in your doshas, particularly Pitta and Vata. Addressing these can restore harmony. Amla juice is an excellent start as it’s rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants. Adding 2 teaspoons of Amla juice to warm water in the morning on empty stomach is beneficial, but ensure to do it regularly. The nail rubbing practice is believed in Ayurveda to stimulate hair growth, though scientific evidence is scant. Practicing it daily might help—do it gently for about 5 minutes.

For your hair, consider oiling twice a week with a blend of coconut oil and bhringraj oil; warm them lightly before applying and massage your scalp gently to address dryness and nourish hair roots, leaving it overnight. Post oiling, wash your hair with a mild herbal shampoo, avoiding chemical-laden products.

Regarding acne, look at your diet and cut down on oily, spicy, and processed foods—these disrupt digestion, aggravating Pitta and leading to skin issues. Drink plenty of warm water throughout the day to help detoxify and maintain hydration.

Your skincare routine could include a face pack made with neem powder, turmeric, and sandalwood, mixed with rose water. Apply it twice a week, keeping it on for 15-20 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water. Everyday cleansing with a mild soap-free cleanser, coupled with toning and moisturizing using rose water and jojoba oil respectively, assists in maintaining balance. Avoid harsh cosmetics.

Pay attention to your sleep. Ensure you get 7-8 hours each night, as stress and lack of sleep can influence hair and skin health. Practicing yoga or meditation regularly aids in reducing stress and balancing internal energies.

Persist consistently with these practices, and you might see improvement gradually. However, if you do not observe changes or if conditions worsen, consult a healthcare professional for personalized guidance.

Based on the symptoms of hairfall, premature grey hair, and acne, it’s likely there are imbalances in pitta dosha, as well as potential issues with digestion and nutrient absorption. To address hair concerns, continue with amla juice in the morning, as it’s beneficial for cooling the pitta and enhancing overall hair health. Amla, rich in vitamin C, nourishes hair follicles and prevents premature greying. Nail rubbing, or “balayam,” can support hair health by stimulating the scalp’s connected nerves.

Enhance your regimen by including a hair mask made of equal parts bhringraj and amla powder mixed with water, applied to the scalp twice a week. Bhringraj is effective in strengthening hair and preventing greying. Maintain this regularly for improved results. For diet, consume fresh fruits, green leafy vegetables, and plenty of water to cleanse the system from within and reduce pitta accumulation.

Regarding acne, integrate neem-based face wash into your routine. Neem is known for its antibacterial properties, effective in reducing acne-causing bacteria. Make a face pack using turmeric and sandalwood powder mixed with water, applying it to the face twice weekly. Turmeric’s anti-inflammatory properties and sandalwood’s soothing effects can reduce redness and acne.

Manage daily stress with pranayama (breathing exercises) and avoid heat-inducing foods like spicy dishes and caffeine, which aggravate pitta. Instead, focus on a predominantly sattvic diet with cool, light foods. If symptoms persist or if you’re experiencing severe or unusual symptoms like painful cystic acne, consulting a healthcare professional for personalized advice is essential.
