Question

Sir I have lost a lot of hair, I have become bald and have white hair from the front, what should I do, now I have only 22 hairs

Dr. Harsha Joy · Accepted Answer

Premature hair loss, baldness, and white hair at a young age often indicate an imbalance in Pitta dosha, which affects hair health and accelerates graying and thinning. Ayurveda offers holistic remedies to nourish the scalp, strengthen hair follicles, and encourage regrowth, while balancing internal factors that contribute to hair loss.

To promote hair growth and reduce white hair, Bhringraj (Eclipta alba) and Amla (Indian gooseberry) are highly beneficial. Bhringraj can be used as an oil, applied to the scalp and gently massaged twice a week, to stimulate hair follicles and reduce hair loss. Consuming Amla powder (1-2 teaspoons daily) with water or juice is also recommended, as it provides essential nutrients and antioxidants to support hair pigmentation and regrowth.

To further address hair health, Brahmi oil can be massaged into the scalp regularly to cool and soothe the scalp, which helps reduce Pitta and support hair regrowth. Internal supplements like Triphala (1 teaspoon with warm water at bedtime) will aid in detoxifying the system, which is important for healthier hair growth.

In terms of diet, incorporate foods rich in protein, iron, and healthy fats, such as green leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds, and seasonal fruits. Avoid excessive heat, spicy foods, and stress, as these can aggravate Pitta and lead to further hair loss. Practicing stress-reducing activities like yoga and Pranayama can also aid in balancing doshas and support overall wellness, contributing to healthy hair.

Hello, have you consulted an Ayurvedic consultant earlier? Do you have family history of baldness? Premature hair loss, early graying, and baldness often stem from Pitta dosha imbalance, which accelerates hair thinning and pigmentation loss. Ayurveda recommends **Bhringraj** and **Amla** for hair health—Bhringraj oil, applied to the scalp twice weekly, stimulates follicles and reduces hair loss, while 1-2 teaspoons of Amla powder daily provides antioxidants essential for hair strength and color. **Brahmi oil** also helps by cooling the scalp and reducing Pitta aggravation.

For internal balance, **Triphala** (1 teaspoon at bedtime) aids detoxification, supporting scalp health, while **Ashwagandha** and **Shatavari** help manage stress and hormonal balance, both linked to hair vitality. A diet rich in protein, iron, and healthy fats (e.g., leafy greens, nuts, seeds) nourishes hair, while avoiding heat, spicy foods, and stress further prevents Pitta-related hair damage.
