Dr. Harsha Joy · Accepted Answer

Your hair loss and acne may be related to imbalances in your Pitta and Vata doshas. Pitta imbalance often causes hair thinning, scalp issues, and acne due to excess heat and inflammation, while Vata imbalance leads to dryness and brittleness in the hair. To restore balance, focus on cooling, hydrating, and calming foods like cucumbers and leafy greens, and use herbs such as Amla, Brahmi, and Neem for hair and skin health. Incorporate gentle yoga, meditation, and a grounding lifestyle to reduce stress, which also plays a role in these issues. For skincare, opt for soothing, non-comedogenic products with ingredients like turmeric and aloe vera, while regularly massaging your scalp with oils like Bhringraj and Amla can promote hair growth. Prioritize hydration, a consistent routine, and patience, as Ayurveda works gradually but can significantly improve your skin and hair health when consistently applied.

Dr Sujal Patil · Answer

Hair fall can be caused by various factors, including stress, changes in environment, hormonal imbalances, or underlying conditions like arthritis. Acne-prone skin can also indicate hormonal imbalances that might contribute to hair loss. It's important to manage stress, maintain a balanced diet, and possibly consult a dermatologist or Ayurvedic practitioner to address any internal imbalances or deficiencies. Using gentle, natural hair care products and addressing underlying health issues can help reduce hair fall over time.
