Hello Aayush I understand your concern regarding heat in the scalp with hair thinning and reduced density .This is a common sign of Pitta aggravation in Ayurveda. But don’t worry we are here to help you out 😊
✅ Is Him Sagar Oil with Malatyadi Coconut Oil Good?
✅ Yes, the combination of Himsagar Taila (cooling, nourishing) and Malatyadi Taila (anti-inflammatory, Pitta-pacifying) is very suitable for your condition.
How to Use
Mix both oils in equal proportion. Warm slightly and apply on the scalp with gentle fingertips at night or 1 hour before bath, 3–4 times a week. Wash off with mild herbal shampoo (like Aloe vera, Shikakai, or Hibiscus-based). Avoid harsh chemical shampoos.
✅ADDITIONAL AYURVEDIC REMEDIES
1. Amla Juice – 15ML daily on an empty stomach (cools Pitta and nourishes hair roots).
2. Bhringraj Capsule – 1 capsule twice daily after food (promotes new growth).
3. Triphala at night – ½ tsp with lukewarm water to cleanse the gut (since digestion issues often worsen scalp heat).
✅DIET AND LIFESTYLE
Include coconut water, amla, ghee, buttermilk, cucumber, pumpkin, and sweet fruits in diet.
Avoid spicy, oily, junk food, excess tea, coffee, and alcohol.
Stay hydrated — at least 2.5–3 liters of water daily.
Wash hair with cool water, not hot.
Practice Sheetali Pranayama (cooling breathing) for 5 minutes daily.
Manage stress with regular sleep and calming herbal teas like Brahmi
With regular scalp cooling, balanced diet, and internal Pitta pacification, you can expect visible improvement in 3–4 months - reduced heat, stronger roots, and improved hair volume.
Wishing you a good health😊
Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

Dealing with hair thinning and heat in the scalp can indeed cause discomfort. In Ayurveda, hair issues often relate to imbalances in the Pitta dosha, which is associated with heat. When Pitta is aggravated, it can lead to excessive heat in the scalp that contributes to hair loss or thinning. Himsagar oil and Malthyadi coconut oil can indeed be helpful as they have cooling properties and help pacify Pitta.
Himsagar oil is known for its calming and cooling effects, promoting a relaxed scalp environment. It’s very important to gently massage it into the scalp to improve circulation and nourish the hair follicles. Try to make this a routine, perhaps twice or thrice a week, preferably in the evening, so it can soak overnight.
Malthyadi coconut oil, on the other hand, combines the benefits of coconut oil with herbs that are traditionally known to support hair health and reduce scalp heat. Coconut oil’s natural cooling properties, combined by medicinal herbs, can help soothe the scalp and improve hair strength.
For application, heat the oils slightly to a warm temperature before application, as this helps enhance penetration into the scalp and strengthens the hair roots. While using these oils, don’t neglect factors like diet and stress. Eating a pitta pacifying diet, rich in cooling foods like cucumber, watermelon, and leafy greens can be beneficial. Avoid spicy and fried foods as they can aggravate Pitta.
Also, mindfulness practices such as yoga or meditation assist in calming the mind and, in turn, reducing stress-related hair issues, as stress can further aggaravate pitta dosha. It’s good to adapt these oils as a part of a broader lifestyle approach to managing Pitta levels. Make sure to follow a routine and observe how your scalp and hair respond to these interventions. If issues persist, consult with a professional ayurvedic practitioner for a more personalized assessment and treatment.
