HELLO,

Main complaints -premature greying -hair fall more than 1 year

this indicates an imbalance mainly in Pitta and Vata doshas, possibly with weak Rasa dhatu(plasma), Rakta dhatu(blood), and Asthi dhatu(bones, which support hair/nails)

DOSHA INVOLVEMENT

PITTA- governs heat, metabolism , when aggravated, burns melanin->premature greying

VATA- thin, falling hair

KAPHA- nourishment, strength, deficiency-> weak roots, oily hair, lack of luster

TREATMENT SHOULD BE FOCUSED TO -to stop hair fall -reverse/slow premature greying -thicken and volumize hair -repair frizzy hair -rejuvinate scalp and nervous system -correct internal imbalances(vata-pitta) -prevent further damage and relapse

START INTERNALLY WITH

1) KESHYA RASAYANA GHRITA - 1/2 tsp with milk in morning empty stomach for 3-4 months =deep rejuvinator for hair, brain, eyes, balances vata-pitta BRAND= Arya Vaidya sala/ vaidyaratnam

2)LOHA BHASMA + NARIKEL LAVAN -loha bhasma- 125 mg+ nairkela lavana- 250 mg take with honey+ ghee once daily after breakfast for 40 days =powerful rejuvination combo for very early greying, rich in iron, balances pitta

3)CHYAWANPRASHA SPECIAL(high amla content) -1 tsp with warm milk daily morning for 12 months =deep rejuvenation, improves immunity, hair growth, pigmentation (BRAND SUGGESTION= AVP dhanwantharam chyawanprasha or Nagarjuna chyawanprasha(with Swarna bhasma)

4)SWARNA MAKSHIK BHASMA -125 mg with amla juice or honey for 2 months =addressess deep rasa/rakta dhatu problems linked to early greying

5)KESYA KALPA CAPSULES -1 cap twice daily after meals for 3 months =bends of rasayana+ anti greying herbs like prashnaparni, Ashoka, bringaraj

EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

1) KANJUNNYADI KERA TAILA( AVS KOTTAKKAL BRAND) -warm slightly, apply to scalp and hair leave overnight =powerful Kerala medicated oil, anti greying, dandruff removal, anti fall, scalp rejuvinator

2) KAYYUNYADI TAILA -alternate with above oil thrice/week =used in severe greying and scalp dryness, nourishes hair roots

SHAMPOO SUGGESTIONS

DIVYA KESH KANTI ADVANCED(patanjali)= strong herbal shampoo with anti-greying and anti fall ingredients

TRICHUP HERBAL SHAMPOO(VASU)= with keratin + herbal blend =reduces dandruff

KOTTAKAL NEELIBHRINGADI SHAMPOO= gentle but nourishes follicles deeply

FOR STRESS- take MANAS MITRA VATAKAM(avs or Arya Vaidya pharmacy)- 1 tab at bedtime with warm milk for 1 month =used for hair greying/fall due to mental stress, insomnia

NASYA THERAPY- instill 2 drops of keshya taila in each nostril daily in morning =improve hair and brain health

DIET MODIFICATIONS -include Amla, curry leaves, black sesame seeds- 1 tsp/day -cow ghee 1 tsp/day -pumpkin seeds, almonds, walnuts -millets ragi, jowar -fresh fruits, leafy greens -moong dal, rice, old wheat

AVOID -spicy, sour fermented foods -oily, junk, packaged foods -tea, coffee, alcohol -excesssive salt or sugar

START YOUR DAY WITH SOAKED RAISINS AND ALMONDS, WARM WATER WITH LEMON AND HONEY

LIFESTYLE AND YOGA -SARVANGASANA= improves scalp blood flow -ADHO MUKHA SVANASANA = enhances nutrients delivery to follicles -SHASHANKASANA= calms stress -PRANAYAM= balances vata and pitta reduces stress

ROUTINE TIPS -sleep early by 10 pm -avoid excessive screen time -oil scalp before sleeping -use wooden comb(avoid plastic)

EXPECTED RESULTS TIMELINE

1 MONTH- Reduction in hairfall, frizz control, reduce dandruff 3 MONTHS- stronger roots, less breakage, new baby hair 6+ MONTHS= slowed greying, better volume and texture

DO FOLLOW CONSISTENTLY

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

1. Bhringrajasava – 20 ml with equal water after meals twice daily (Strengthens hair roots, promotes natural pigmentation.)

2. Amla Rasayana (1 tsp daily) ( Rejuvenates Rasadhatu, acts as antioxidant, balances Pitta.)

3. Narasimha Rasayanam – 1 tsp at bed time followed by warm water (Nourishes hair, skin, and reproductive tissues.)

4. Triphala Churna – 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water ( Detoxifies the liver and improves digestion (key to healthy hair).)

✅EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

1.Neelibhringadi Taila

Warm slightly and massage scalp gently 3–4 times a week. Leave it for 30–45 minutes before washing with herbal shampoo.

2. Keshya Herbal Wash (Weekly) Mix Amla, Reetha, Shikakai, and Hibiscus powder with water, make paste, and use as natural cleanser.

HOME REMEDIES

✅ Amla Juice – 20 ml fresh or 1 tsp powder daily in warm water. ✅ Black Sesame Seeds (Til) – 1 tsp daily morning (rich in calcium & iron). ✅ Coconut oil + Curry leaves – Boil together and apply twice weekly for greying reversal. ✅ Methi (Fenugreek) paste – Apply once a week for hair strengthening.

✅ DIET & LIFESTYLE ADVICE

Include:

Fresh fruits (especially Amla, Pomegranate, Dates, Grapes) Cow’s ghee, milk, soaked almonds Green leafy vegetables Adequate hydration

Avoid: Junk food, fermented, spicy, and sour items Excess tea, coffee, and late-night work Stress, anger, and irregular sleep

Practice Shiro Abhyanga (head massage) and Sheetali pranayama regularly to calm Pitta and Vata doshas.

Consistent use of Bhringraj Taila + Amla Rasayana + balanced lifestyle will help reverse the process gradually.

Wishing you healthy, strong, naturally black hair again 🙂

When tackling both premature greying and hair fall, Ayurveda suggests considering the root cause, which often ties back to imbalances in the pitta and vata doshas. Premature grey hair is frequently linked with aggravated pitta dosha, while hair fall can be associated with imbalances in both vata and pitta.

First, focus on your diet as it’s a cornerstone in Ayurveda. Incorporate foods that pacify pitta, such as sweet, bitter, and astringent tastes. Drink a glass of fresh amla (Indian gooseberry) juice daily, if feasible, because it’s a phenomenal natural source of Vitamin C and can help rejuvenate your hair health. Shatavari, asparagus racemosus, also benefits hair health by balancing pitta. Have a daily intake of a small teaspoon, ideally with warm milk in the evening.

Applying hair oil regularly is crucial. Use Bhringraj (Eclipta alba) oil for the scalp, as it’s known to support hair strength and promote natural black tone. Massage gently, allowing the oil to penetrate, thus soothing the scalp and supporting healthy hair follicles. Leave it overnight or atleast for a few hours before rinsing. You can also prepare a Bhringraj paste with the leaves and apply it directly for its cooling effects.

An essential lifestyle tip is ensuring that your stress levels are managed, as mental stress can further aggravate hair conditions. Try including pranayama and meditation in your daily routine, particularly bhramari and anulom vilom. They’re beneficial for reducing stress and balancing doshas.

Remember, excessive use of heat styling, bleaching, and chemical treatments exacerbate hair issues. Opt for natural shampoos and conditioners, possibly those containing amla, bhringraj , or neem for best effects. It’s also advisable to check your water quality – hard water can impede hair health.

Improving your digestion and elimination through triphala powder can also be helpful. A teaspoon at night with warm water might alleviate effects of toxins which indirectly play a part in hair issues. Remember, the key lies in consistent application of these practices and observing changes over time – natural remedies often require patience. If symptoms persist or worsen, consider consulting with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner for comprehensive diagnosis and specialized care.
