While I can’t provide a definitive answer on whether your son’s hair will regrow, hair loss such as alopecia often involves underlying imbalances in the body and addressing these imbalances with a holistic perspective might provide relief. In Siddha-Ayurveda, hair health is closely linked to the balance of the doshas, particularly Vata and Pitta doshas, and the nourishment provided by the sapta dhatus, particularly the Rasa (plasma) and Rakta (blood) dhatus. Let’s look into some approaches:
First, managing the Vata and Pitta imbalances is key. Shiro Abhyanga, a regular head massage using Bhringraj oil or Brahmi oil, can prove beneficial. These herbs have been traditionally valued for their ability to nurture the hair follicles and balance Pitta dosha. Massage gently in circular motions daily before shampooing.
Diet is another essential aspect. Encourage your son to follow a Pitta-pacifying diet, focusing on cooling and hydrating foods like cucumber, sweet fruits, and leafy greens. Sufficient hydration with lots of water and herbal teas like mint can help maintain a balanced internal environment.
Additionally, consider herbal supplements like Amla (Indian gooseberry), well-regarded for its rejuvenating effect and Rasa dhatu support, which can be taken daily in powdered form with water.
Practicing stress management techniques like yoga or meditation is vital because high stress can exacerbate Vata disturbance, leading to hair loss.
Lastly, if possible, have a consultation with a Siddha-Ayurvedic practitioner to personalize the treatment further. While these measures can foster a supportive environment for hair growth, please remain realistic about the outcome, and seek medical advice if the condition persists or worsens.
