Persistent hair fall can often stem from various factors like hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies or stress. In your case, considering you are on Thyronorm for thyroid management, it’s a good start to ensure your thyroid levels are stabilized, since thyroid issues can contribute to hair loss. Schedule regular check-ups to monitor your thyroid function.

Regarding Ayurveda, focus on pacifying Vata dosha, as it is often associated with hair fall and osteoartharitis conditions especially at your age. Include more warm, unctuous (oily), and nutritious meals. Foods like ghee, almonds, sesame seeds and green leafy veggies can be beneficial. Turmeric and ginger are also excellent due to their anti-inflammatory properties, try incorporating them daily.

For hair health, a scalp massage with oils like bhringraj oil, or coconut oil infused with hibiscus flowers, can help strengthen hair roots and promote growth. Do this at least twice a week. Consider using a mild, natural shampoo, avoiding those with harsh chemicals.

For osteoarthritis, regular and gentle exercise, specifically joint-friendly activities like yoga or swimming, can maintain mobility and reduce stiffness. Mahanarayana taila is an excellent massage oil for joints known to ease pain and improve flexibility. Apply warm oil on affected areas on a daily basis if possible.

To enhance absorption of nutritions and improve joint health, incorporate Triphala, an excellent remedy for aiding digestion and cleansing toxins. You can take 1 teaspoon of Triphala powder nightly with warm water. Monitor your diet ensuring you’re getting sufficient calcium and vitamin D, which are crucial for bone health.

Managing stress is essential as it impacts both hair health and joint conditions. Breathing exercises, meditation, or light walking can be effective in reducing stress levels. Keeping consistency in these practices will significantly help.

Finally, consult a healthcare professional immediately if you experience sudden or significantly worsening symptoms, to rule out any serious underlying conditions.
