Hair loss - #4217

Hey there! So, it sounds like you're juggling a few things right now, huh? Hair loss, skin texture troubles, gut health woes, and those pesky body acne & marks. Plus, weight going up and down can be a real headache, I get it. Let's see how we can approach this the Ayurvedic way, shall we? First off, it seems like we might be dealing with some dosha imbalances here. Vata and Pitta particularly, they often play mischief with the skin, hair, and digestion. For the hair loss, ensure you're nourishing your scalp. Use bhringraj oil for a gentle scalp massage twice or thrice a week. It's calming & nourishing — leave it on overnight if you can and wash it off in the morning with a mild herbal shampoo. The gut health & weight stuff—super important! Focus on rekindling your digestive fire (agni): Try sipping warm water throughout the day, and work in foods like ginger, cumin, and fennel. These spices are your friends, as they can help restore balance. Avoid processed foods and cold drinks; they can dampen agni and add fuel to the dosha chaos. For skin, shatavari and aloe vera might help soothe and hydrate internally. Drinking aloe vera juice (about 30 ml blended in water first thing in morning) is a way. Steam your face once a week with neem leaves in boiling water to help cleanse and calm those acne issues. Now, if the medication's not doing much, a chat with your doc might be needed because it's crucial to ensure no nutritional deficiencies are in the mix. Add foods high in vitamins A, C, and E, and minerals like zinc to give your skin, gut, and hair the nutrients they crave. Remember, nobody's perfect. It’s all about finding what balance works for you. And if you ever feel overwhelmed, reaching out to an Ayurvedic practitioner for a personalized assessment isn’t such a bad idea. Stay kind to yourself, and take it one step at a time!
