Hello Thanks for opening up about what you’re dealing with. PCOD mixed with an oily scalp, dandruff, and all that hair thinning—it’s rough, honestly. The thing is, this kind of hair loss turns around when you really address the root problem: those shifting hormones.

Let’s break it down and get you a real step-by-step Ayurvedic plan.

What’s Actually Happening (Ayurveda Style)

In PCOD, your body usually goes through a mix of Kapha and Pitta imbalance, sluggish digestion, toxin (ama) buildup, and issues with your blood and bones (Rakta & Asthi dhatu).

The result? Extra oil on your scalp, sticky dandruff, blocked hair follicles, and that slow, discouraging hair thinning.

And here’s the key: if you just throw hair oils and shampoos at it, nothing really changes unless you get your PCOD under control first.

What We’re Aiming For

–Get your hormones in check –Cut down scalp oil and dandruff –Stop the hair fall –Kickstart new hair growth –Boost scalp blood flow and nutrition

Ayurvedic Medicines

1. Kanchanar Guggulu 2 tablets, twice a day after meals – helps manage PCOD and cysts, balances hormones

2.Chandraprabha Vati 2 tablets, twice a day after meals – speeds up your metabolism, calms inflammation, reduces oil

3. Triphala Churna 1 tsp at night with warm water – cleans out your gut, which really helps your scalp

4. Bhringraj Churna or Capsules Powder: 1 tsp at night with warm water OR Capsule: 1 per day – supports new hair growth, lessens hair loss

Hair & Scalp Care (Super Important!)

–Oiling (2–3 times a week) –Use Neelibhringadi Taila or a mix of Bhringraj and Neem oil –Massage for 5–7 minutes (don’t go overboard) –Leave it on for 1–2 hours (not overnight if dandruff’s bad)

Washing (2–3 times a week) –Stick to mild, herbal shampoos –Once a week, rinse your scalp with Neem + Triphala decoction or fenugreek (methi) water –No hot water—keep it warm

Food That Helps PCOD & Hair

Eat plenty of: –Greens –Sprouts –Pumpkin and flax seeds –Amla (fresh or powdered) –Warm, freshly-made food

Skip: –Late-night dairy –Sugar and pastries –Fried and oily stuff –Cold drinks

Lifestyle Tweaks (Non-Negotiable)

–Walk briskly for 30–40 minutes every day –Get to bed before 11 pm –Cut down screen time at night –Try Anulom Vilom + Bhramari breathing for 10 minutes daily

When Do You Notice a Difference? –Dandruff and oil get better in 3–4 weeks –Hair fall slows down by 6–8 weeks –New baby hairs start coming in around 3–4 months

Some extra hair fall might happen at first. It’s normal—it means things are shifting for the better.

Tests to Check (if you haven’t yet) –Thyroid profile –Vitamin D & B12 –Iron (Ferritin) –Pelvic ultrasound

Your hair loss is hormonal, and you really can fix it. Once you sort out the PCOD, your hair comes back. Just stick with it. Consistency is everything

HELLO,

In Ayurveda, this combination of symptoms dhows a disturbance mainly in vata and pitta doshas

VATA= imbalannce becomes dry, unstable, and deplete body tissues PITTA= becomes hot and overactive

When vata and pitta stay imbalanced for long, the body’s nourishing layers- called dhatus (tissues)- get weakened, especially -Rasa dhatu (plasma, fluids)-> poor nourishment to hair and skin -Rakta dhatu (blood)-> toxins and hear rise-> dandruff, hair fall -Shukra/artava Dhatu (reproductive tissues)-> irregular periods, hormonal imbalance

So, your condition is not just external - it’s due to internal imbalance affecting hormones, nutrition, and stress metabolism
