Include nuts, dates, seeds in diet. Keep body hydrated. Check Hb, thyroid. Do suryanamaskara, pranayama. Malnutrition and stress can be a reason at your age. Include leafy green vegetables, beetroot in diet. For hairfall, 1. Neelibhringhadi kera tailam for head massage. Regular use can be done if you are not allergic. or do it weekly thrice. (or try homemade hairoil with bhringaraja, aloevera, more curry leaves, rosemary) 2. Narasimha rasayana 1 tsp at night or early morning Take 1 amla everyday. 3. Do hairwash with Triphala kwatha( Take 1 tsp triphala choornam and boil it in 400 ml water and use it at room temp) For acne, 1. Nimbadi choornam - mix with some warm water and make it as a paste. Apply over the acne area only. Weekly twice or thrice. 2. Eladi kera tailam massage for all over face weekly thrice or everyday. 3. Khadirarishtam 10ml twice daily after food - for blood purification. Take care, Dr. Shaniba

At 18 years of age facing hair fall a receding hairline early greying and cystic nodular acne can feel overwhelming and discouraging When these problems continue for more than 6 months it usually indicates an internal imbalance rather than only an external skin or hair issue Hair thinning and early greying suggest that the hair roots are not getting proper nourishment and that there is excess internal heat and dryness in the system At the same time deep painful acne points towards inflammation oil imbalance and stress on the body This combination commonly develops due to digestion issues stress poor sleep hormonal changes or nutritional deficiencies even if there have been no obvious lifestyle changes The focus of treatment will be to correct the internal imbalance calm inflammation improve digestion and strengthen hair roots gradually This requires patience and consistency along with simple diet changes stress management and gentle external care With regular follow up and proper support improvement is possible in a safe and natural way

Hello Krishna, Thanks for reaching out! Dealing with hair loss, gray hairs, and cystic acne when you’re young can be a real pain, but the good news is Ayurveda can usually turn things around if we tackle it right. YOUR CONCERN – Hairline’s going back – Hair’s falling out – Gray hairs popping up early – Nasty cystic acne- – You’re a Vata–Pitta type All this together points to something deeper than just skin or hair issues. What Ayurveda Says: It’s like this: Pitta and Vata are out of whack and messing with your blood and bones. Basically: – Too much Pitta = inflammation = acne, hot scalp, hair trouble – Vata’s acting up = dryness, thinning hair, receding hairline – Toxic blood = cystic, painful acne – Weak bones = early graying and hair loss What’s Causing It: – Crappy food and spices – Stress and overthinking – Crazy sleep schedule – Too much fun time – Too much screen time – Past meds What We Want to Do – Cool down that Pitta – Clean up your blood – Make your hair strong – Stop that hairline – Heal the acne from the inside – Avoid future baldness The Ayurvedic Plan 1. Arogyavardhini Vati 1 tablet twice a day after eating. Cleans your liver & hormones 2 Gandhak Rasayan: 1 tablet twice a day. Kills acne stuff, cleans your blood 3 Manjishtha Churna: ½ tsp twice a day with warm water. Gets rid of cystic acne for good 4 Bhringraj Ghanvati 1 tablet twice a day. Stops hair from falling out and helps it grow back 5 Triphala Churna: ½ tsp at night with warm water. Cleans your gut, clears up skin and hair EXTERNAL CARE For Your Hair: –Oil your head 3 times a week with Neelibhringadi Taila – Warm it up, leave it for an hour – Wash it out with herbal shampoo For Your Acne: – Mix Neem + Manjishtha powder with rose water – Put it on the acne at night EASY HOME REMEDIES – Soak 1 tsp of coriander seeds in water overnight, drink it in the morning – Put aloe vera gel on your face every day – Drink coconut water daily What to Eat: ✅INCLUDE – Rice – Milk – Ghee – Coconut – Sweet fruits – Veggies – Buttermilk Stay Away From: – Junk food – Pizza, burgers – Spicy & fried stuff – Eggs – Too many protein shakes – Staying up late – Too much fun time (more than 1–2x/week) LIFESTYLE TIPS: – Sleep before 11 pm – Walk barefoot on grass – Chill out and don’t stress – Lay off the helmet and tight caps – Cut back on phone and porn Really Important: If you don’t deal with this now, you could end up with: Permanent baldness + acne scars But since you’re only 18, your hair’s still got a shot – now’s the time to fix it. Krishna, this isn’t just in your DNA – it’s a Pitta–Vata thing, and Ayurveda can totally sort it out. Stick with it, and your hair and skin can get back to being awesome. Wishing you the best, Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate
