Hair fall is mainly due to: Pitta + Vata imbalance Weak Rakta (blood) & Asthi dhatu nourishment Stress and poor circulation to scalp Anu Thailam is a Nasya (nasal oil) used for: clearing head channels (Urdhva Jatrugata srotas) Improving circulation in head region balancing Vata & Kapha in sinuses and brain area

Thanks Dr. Agarwal for d helpful n informative reply. i appreciate

Yes, Kairali Ayurveda Anu Thailam can help reduce hair fall in addition to its well‑known benefits for sinus and nasal health. The Ayurvedic logic is that Nasya therapy (nasal instillation of medicated oil) nourishes the Shringataka marma — a vital point connecting the nose, eyes, ears, and scalp — thereby improving blood circulation, calming Vata–Pitta imbalance, and strengthening hair roots. 8How Anu Thailam Works for Hair Fall* Nasya therapy effect: When Anu Thailam is instilled into the nostrils, it reaches the Shringataka marma (junction near the eyebrows), which is connected to the scalp and sense organs. This improves nourishment and circulation to hair follicles. Balances Tridosha: Especially pacifies Vata (dryness, weakness) and Pitta (heat, inflammation), both of which contribute to hair fall and premature greying. Strengthens scalp tissues: Ingredients like sesame oil, goat’s milk, Jivanti, and Ushir provide antioxidants, cooling, and rejuvenating properties that protect hair roots and reduce thinning. Neurovascular support: Improves oxygen and nutrient supply to scalp by calming nerves and enhancing microcirculation. Scientific Basis Sesame oil base: Rich in Vitamin E and lignans (sesamol, sesamin) with antioxidant and anti‑inflammatory effects, protecting scalp cells from oxidative stress. Goat’s milk: Provides lactic acid and proteins that hydrate scalp and support healthy hair growth. Herbal actives (Jivanti, Ushir, etc.): Contain phytochemicals that reduce inflammation, strengthen roots, and prevent premature ageing of hair. Nasya absorption: Oil drops in the nasal cavity are absorbed through mucosa, influencing cranial nerves and circulation in the head region, indirectly supporting scalp health. Practical Use -Dosage: 2 drops in each nostril daily (morning, empty stomach, after cleansing face). -Method: Lie down, instill drops, inhale gently, and rest for 2–3 minutes. -Duration: Regular use for 2–3 months is usually needed to see improvement in hair fall. -Precautions: Avoid during acute cold, sinus infection, or immediately after meals. Always consult an Ayurvedic physician before long‑term use.

Thanks much Dr. Anjali. It was really helpful. Can we say that massaging between eyebrows (junction near the eyebrows, as you mentioned) might help in stimulating d Shringataka marma for hair health? also, with sesame oil base, did you mean that anu tailam is sesame based? Or i can use sesame oil for Nasya as well?

No…it’s works on that marma when used as nasya

Hello, While Anu Thailam is primarily a classical Ayurvedic formulation for Nasya (nasal administration) to treat supra-clavicular diseases, it is indeed considered effective for controlling hair fall. ​ ​According to Ayurveda, the nose is the gateway to the head (Nasa Hi Shiraso Dwaram). Anu Thailam works on hair fall through several mechanisms: Nasal administration stimulates the olfactory nerves and the blood circulation to the brain and scalp. Improved microcirculation ensures that hair follicles receive better nutrition. Hair fall is often attributed to an imbalance of Vata (dryness/brittleness) and Kapha (blockage of follicles). The oil’s base and herbs (like Jivanti and Devadaru) penetrate the channels to clear blockages and nourish the scalp. ​ Modern Ayurvedic perspective suggests that Nasya can influence the endocrine system via the pituitary-hypothalamic axis, helping balance hormones that indirectly affect hair health. ​ ​In Ayurveda, hair is considered a byproduct (Upadhatu) of the bone tissue (Asthi Dhatu). Hair fall usually indicates high Pitta or weak Asthi Dhatu nutrition. 1. ​Anu Thailam (For Nasya) ​Dose: Instill 2 drops in each nostril daily in the morning on an empty stomach. It clears the cranial channels and strengthens hair roots from within. 2. ​Kesini Oil (External Application) ​Dose: Massage gently into the scalp 30 minutes before washing, 3 times a week. This contains Brahmi and Amla to cool the scalp and reduce Pitta-induced hair loss. 3. ​MahaThikthakam Ghrutham (Internal) ​Dose: 1 teaspoon with warm water on an empty stomach in the morning. This purifies the blood and balances the internal heat that causes hair thinning.
