Hello I completely understand your concern. At 47, when pigmentation, hair thinning, and early wrinkles start appearing together, it can feel worrying — but don’t worry, we are here to help you out😊

✅ AYURVEDIC TREATMENT PROTOCOL

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION

1. Sarivadyasava – 20 ml twice daily after food with equal water – (purifies blood and reduces pigmentation.)

2. Manjishthadi Kashaya – 20 ml twice daily after food – (detoxifies skin channels and lightens dark patches.)

3. Thickshoot A 1-0-1 after food – ( helps in improving the hair density and prevents hair thinning)

4. Bhringraj Churna – ½ tsp twice daily with honey or warm water – promotes strong, shiny hair and prevents greying.

✅ EXTERNAL APPLICATION

☑️For Pigmentation

Use a face pack of Lodhra + Manjishtha + Sandalwood powder mixed with rose water or aloe vera gel; apply for 15 minutes daily, then rinse with lukewarm water.

After sunset, apply Kumkumadi Taila (2–3 drops) with gentle upward massage for glow and wrinkle reduction.

☑️For Hair

Warm oil massage 3 times a week using Neelibhringadi Taila, leave for 1 hour, then wash with mild herbal shampoo.

Once weekly, apply a paste of Amla + Brahmi + Hibiscus leaf for scalp nourishment and pigmentation control of scalp skin.

✅DIET RECOMMENDATION

✅ Include:

Fresh, warm meals cooked with ghee. Green moong dal, bottle gourd, pumpkin, ridge gourd, beetroot. Fruits: pomegranate, papaya, apple, and amla. Spices: turmeric, cumin, coriander, fennel, and black sesame seeds. Drink lukewarm water or coriander seed water throughout the day.

❌ Avoid

Sour, spicy, or oily foods. Fermented foods, curd at night, and processed sugar. Late-night meals and stress-eating.

✅ LIFESTYLE & DAILY ROUTINE

Abhyanga (Self-massage): Use warm sesame oil or kumkumadi taila daily before bath to maintain firmness and glow. Adequate sleep: Sleep before 10 PM; night rest repairs tissues naturally. Yoga & Pranayama: Practice Anulom Vilom, Bhramari, and mild Surya Namaskar to enhance circulation and radiance. Hydration: 8–10 glasses of warm water daily. Avoid overuse of chemical creams, harsh scrubs, or frequent hair dyes.

With consistent Ayurvedic care and simple daily discipline, you can expect: -Lightening of pigmentation and even skin tone within 6–8 weeks. -Noticeable hair strength and shine in 8–10 weeks. - Reduced wrinkle appearance and improved firmness naturally.

Wishing you a good hair and skin😊

Warm regards, Dr Snehal Vidhate

Eat antioxidant rich food like amla, beans, green tea, spinach etc 3. Clean your towel and pillowcase every week 4. Avoid using makeup or some chemical product especially before sleeping. 5. Boil 1 spoon of triphla powder in 2 glasses of water,let it cool then use this for hairwash once a week. 6. Stress management -Through meditation, walking, journaling etc.

For pigmentation over the head and hair thinning at age 47, it’s essential to consider your dosha constitution, lifestyle and diet. In Ayurveda, pigmentation issues can often be linked to Pitta imbalance, while hair loss might be due to Vata or Kapha influencing factors.

To address pigmentation, consider a natural pack using sandalwood powder and turmeric with enough rose water to make a paste. Apply it to affected areas for 15-20 minutes 2-3 times a week. It helps cool excess pitta and reduces pigmentation gradually.

In terms of hair loss, Ayurvedic texts like Charaka Samhita recommend incorporating amla (Indian gooseberry) into your diet or as hair oil. Amla is known to nourish hair follicles and strengthen the hair shaft. Regularly massage your scalp with bhringraj or amla oil, leave it on overnight and wash it in the morning. This routine can improve blood circulation to the scalp, reducing hair loss over time.

To keep your skin wrinkle-free and tight, adapt to your daily routine Triphala powder or tablet. Take it before bed with warm water for gentle detoxification, balancing Vata and Pitta. It’s essential to maintain hydration by drinking enough warm water and consuming foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, like flaxseeds or walnuts, which enhance skin elasticity.

Ensure your daily skincare involves washing your face with cold water and moisturizing it with sesame or almond oil. These oils are grounding and nourishing, providing a sheen to your skin.

Incorporate yoga or mild exercises into your routine, such as Surya Namaskar, which promote blood circulation and provide a natural glow to your skin. Avoid foods that increase heat, like spicy and oily dishes, as they may aggravate pitta dosha, affecting skin and hair health.

It’s crucial to check your stress levels, as stress can significantly impact hair loss and skin health. Practices like pranayama or meditation may help balance your Tridoshas, promote relaxation, and enhance overall well-being.
