Hello I​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ can totally understand your concern. Losing hair and getting thinning of hair after 50 is definitely troubling but dont worry we are here to help you out 😊

YOUR CONCERN

You are going through:

Hair falling and thinning for over six months Age: 52 The trigger noticed: Weather changes Hair: Thin but manageable No major illness or medication This disorder can be largely reversed with the proper Rasayana therapy.

INTERNAL MEDICATION (For hair fall control, regrowth & anti-aging nourishment)

1.Bhringaraj Capsule – 1-0-1 after food (Best herb for hair regrowth & scalp nourishment)

2.Amalaki Rasayan – 1 tsp every morning with warm water (A strong antioxidant, it prevents the premature aging and hair thinning)

3.Ashwagandha Churna – ½ tsp at night with warm water (Strengthen the tissues, helps lessening the hair fall caused by the stress)

4.Triphala Churna – ½ tsp at bedtime with warm water (Helps digestion and nutrient absorption—very important for hair)

Continue these for at least 3–4 months for a visible result.

EXTERNAL CARE

One must do weekly oiling treatment for the hair to grow back: Oil: Bhringaraj Taila or Neelibhringadi Taila

Method: Warm the oil a bit Massage the scalp gently with your fingers for 10–15 minutes Keep the hair with the oil on the night Next morning wash your hair with mild herbal shampoo Do this 2–3 times per week

Simply regular oiling thus alone cuts the rate of hair loss by 40–50% in 6–8 weeks.

Home remedies

1. Soaked black raisins (8–10 daily) 2. White sesame seeds – 1 tsp daily 3. Amla powder + water every morning 4. Coconut water 3–4 times a week

DIET PLAN

INCLUDE

Green leafy vegetables Sprouts, moong dal, black chana Dates, figs, almonds Amla, pomegranate Ghee in small quantity Warm, freshly cooked food

AVOID Fried & junk food Excess tea/coffee Cold drinks Packaged food Eating late at nights

LIFESTYLE TIPS

Sleep before 10:30 pm Do not wash your hair with hot water Do not wear tight hairstyles and avoid chemical treatments Do not frequently color your hair Walk daily for 20–30 min Practice Anulom Vilom & Bhramari Pranayama

INVESTIGATIONS NEEDED (Only if hair fall is severe or not improving in 2 months)

Hemoglobin Vitamin B12 Vitamin D3 Thyroid profile (TSH)

At your age, complete reversal may not be possible, but: –Hair fall can be made very minimal –Hair texture can get better –The production of new thin hair can be stimulated

Warm Regards, Dr Snehal ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌Vidhate

For addressing hair fall and thinning at 52, consider a few tailored Ayurvedic strategies. Begin by identifying your dosha type since imbalances, especially in Vata and Pitta, often affect hair health. Balancing these doshas is crucial, so incorporate practices like regular oil massages to nourish the scalp and hair follicles. Choose cooling oils like Brahmi or Bhringraj oil—ideally twice a week. Warm the oil slightly and apply it gently with circular motions, leaving it for at least an hour before washing off.

Your diet plays a pivotal role in supporting hair health. Emphasize foods that enhance blood circulation and nourish the dhatus. Include plenty of leafy greens, almonds, walnuts, and foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, like flaxseeds and chia seeds. These nutrient-dense options help fortify hair roots. Hydrate sufficiently to maintain lustrous hair; drink at least 7-8 glasses of water daily, aiding in detoxification.

Focus on reducing stress, which can exacerbate hair issues. Practices such as yoga and pranayama enhance tranquility and prana flow, beneficial for the hair. Try regular Anulom Vilom or Nadi Shodhana for its calming effects. Engaging in regular physical activity also bolsters overall wellness, indirectly supporting hair growth.

Pay attention to your sleeping habits ensuring you get a restful 7-8 hours of sleep, as proper rest helps regenerate cells, including those in your hair. Hair care routines should avoid harsh shampoos or conditioners. Opt for mild herbal shampoos formulated with ingredients like neem or reetha. These maintain scalp health without stripping it of essential oils.

Consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized bhasmas or herbal supplements, which can provide additional support depending on your specific constitution. However, if hair loss continues or is rapid, it may be wise to seek further medical consultation to rule out underlying conditions.
