Your current weight being low along with poor appetite less menstrual flow recent hair fall and dryness with white patches in winter clearly shows that your body is not getting proper nourishment and digestion is weak so the focus should be on gently improving digestion and rebuilding strength Start with simple warm freshly cooked meals taken at regular times do not skip meals include a small amount of ghee in food and avoid cold dry and junk foods as they further reduce nourishment Ashwagandhadi lehyam one teaspoon twice daily after food with warm milk will help in healthy weight gain improve strength and reduce hair fall Shatavari gulam one teaspoon once daily supports better nourishment and helps improve menstrual flow naturally Avipattikara churna half teaspoon at bedtime with warm water will help correct digestion and reduce internal imbalance Asokarishtam 10 to 15 ml with equal water twice daily after food helps regulate and improve menstrual flow Draksharishtam 10 to 15 ml with equal water twice daily after food improves appetite energy and supports gradual weight gain For your skin and hair apply Kumkumadi tailam on the face especially during winter to reduce dryness and improve skin tone Neelibringadi tailam can be used on the scalp two to three times in a week to reduce hair fall and improve hair quality Along with this ensure proper sleep reduce stress and follow a consistent routine as the body will take some time to rebuild strength but with regular care you will start noticing gradual improvement

✓Ayurvedic Prescription 1. Kumaryasava Dosage: 15ml mixed with 15ml of warm water. Time: Twice daily, 15 minutes after lunch and dinner. 2. Shatavari + Ashwagandha Churna Dosage: Mix ½ teaspoon of Shatavari and ½ teaspoon of Ashwagandha powder. Time: Take this twice a day. You must take this with warm milk and 1 teaspoon of Cow’s Ghee. 3. External Care for Winter Patches Stop using harsh soaps on your face. Gently massage a few drops of Almond Oil or Kumkumadi Tailam on your face at night to instantly cure the localized dryness. ✓Crucial Dietary Rule Since your appetite is poor, do not force yourself to eat huge meals. Instead, eat smaller, nutrient-dense meals. Ghee is your best medicine. Add extra ghee to your dal, rice and rotis. It lubricates the dry Vata in your body, aids healthy weight gain and helps synthesize reproductive hormones. Dr Gursimran Jeet Singh MD Panchakarma

I have recommended you the medication for your weight gain and improve your menstrual cycle and periods. White patch and hairfall due to deficiency of vitamin, minerals and required nutrients, will be taken care with this medication Apply Neelibhringadi Hair oil on scalp twice weekly keep overnight and wash in the morning with mild herbal shampoo. Include fresh seasonal fruits and seasonal vegetables in your diet Include black dates, peanuts, bananas in your diet. Have fresh fruit juices instead of fruits. Have 2-3 tsp of cow’s ghee in your diet daily.

Namaste, Your symptoms — very low weight (36 kg), poor appetite, hair fall, dry skin/white patches, and low menstrual flow — indicate overall undernourishment with vata imbalance and possible deficiency state. Simple understanding: Poor appetite → leads to low weight and weakness Nutritional deficiency → causes hair fall, dry skin, low periods White patches in winter may be due to dryness and skin sensitivity So focus should be on nourishment + digestion improvement, not just weight gain. Simple measures that may help: Eat small but frequent meals (every 3–4 hours). Include milk, ghee, paneer, nuts (almonds, raisins), dates daily. Add energy-rich foods like khichdi with ghee, dal, rice, banana. Avoid junk, cold, and dry foods. Improve appetite with warm, freshly cooked food. Ensure proper sleep, as it helps weight gain. Ayurvedic medicines with dose and timing: Ashwagandha Lehyam – 1 teaspoon, twice daily (morning and bedtime with milk) Shatavari Kalpa – 1 teaspoon, once daily with milk Drakshasava – 15 ml with equal water, after lunch These are traditionally used to improve weight, strength, hormones, and overall nourishment. With proper diet + medicine, weight gain can happen gradually over 2–3 months. Consult me for more advice and suggestions on the above medicines.
