Hello I hear you—seeing white hairs pop up after having a baby can be really unsettling. It’s tough enough on the scalp, but when it shows up on your neck, underarms, and pubic area too, it’s easy to start worrying. The truth is, post-pregnancy shakes up your body in so many ways—hormones, stress, physical changes. All that can show up in your hair and skin, sometimes in ways you don’t expect. But you’re not alone in this, and we can tackle it together.

Your main concern:

–You’re 35, and you started noticing white hairs gradually after childbirth (over the last couple of years). – The changes aren’t just on your scalp—they’re also under your neck, in your underarms, and the pubic area. – You’ve been under a lot of stress since delivery, your weight has shifted, and you mostly eat vegetarian. –This isn’t just a surface issue—it points to something going on systemically.

How Ayurveda sees it:

Ayurveda calls this early greying “Akala Palitya.” Here’s what’s likely happening:

1. Pitta Dosha is out of balance. Pitta controls color and metabolism, and when it’s aggravated, you lose hair pigment.

2. Rasa and Rakta Dhatus (think: vital fluids and blood) are depleted. Pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding use up these reserves, so less nourishment reaches your hair.

3. Asthi and Majja Dhatus (bones and marrow) are weaker. Hair is considered a by-product of bone health, so when you’re run down or stressed, your hair roots suffer.

4. Chronic stress is a big one here. It ramps up Pitta and Vata, making things worse.

Spotting white hair in places like underarms and the pubic region? That’s a pretty strong sign of internal heat and hormonal imbalance—not just a scalp thing.

What to check before starting treatment:

It’s important to rule out some common deficiencies that often pop up after pregnancy and can make greying worse: - Hemoglobin (Hb) - Vitamin B12 - Vitamin D - Thyroid (TSH)

The plan:

We want to balance out your Pitta, rebuild those depleted reserves, ease stress, slow down (or stop) more greying, and boost your overall strength and hair quality.

A quick heads-up: hair that’s already white probably won’t turn black again, but with the right care, you can stop things from getting worse.

Ayurvedic treatment approach

Internal remedies:

- Amalaki Rasayana or Amalaki Churna: ½ tsp in the morning with lukewarm water. It cools Pitta and helps rejuvenate hair.

- Bhringraj Churna or tablet: Once a day after food. Supports hair color and liver health.

- Ashwagandha Churna: ½ tsp at night with warm milk or water. Great for stress, hormones, and rebuilding after pregnancy.

- Triphala Churna: ½ tsp at bedtime. Helps digestion and absorption.

External hair care (don’t skip this part):

- Oil massage 2–3 times a week using Neelibhringadi or Bhringraj oil. Leave it in for 30–45 minutes, then wash with a mild herbal shampoo.

- Avoid head shaving, harsh shampoos, and chemical dyes. They only make things worse.

Diet tips: Skip:
- Spicy, fried, or very sour foods - Too much tea or coffee - Late nights - Skipping meals

Add:
- Cooling, nourishing foods—think milk, ghee, curd (if you digest them well) - Lots of green veggies - A handful of black sesame seeds, dates, soaked raisins, and almonds - Plenty of water

Lifestyle and stress:
This part is crucial. Make sleep a priority—it really does matter for your hair. Try to squeeze in 10–15 minutes of deep breathing or meditation each day. Cut back on multitasking and mental overload. Ask for help when you need it. Don’t brush off post-partum stress.

Hair changes after pregnancy are super common. But when you pile on stress and nutritional gaps, things can get more intense. Stick with this plan for 3–6 months and you’ll likely see the greying slow down, your hair get stronger, and your energy bounce back—not to mention feeling better in yourself.
