Khalitya - #7384

Dealing with Khalitya (excessive hair loss) in Ayurveda typically involves balancing the aggravated Pitta and Vata doshas, as you’ve mentioned. The oil massages with Bhringraj oil and Neelibhringadi oil are highly recommended, as they nourish the scalp, improve blood circulation, and promote healthy hair follicles. Many people experience noticeable improvements in hair thickness and reduction in hair fall after consistent application, but it often takes a few months to see new hair growth, so patience is key. Dietary changes play a significant role in managing Khalitya, as improving digestion and reducing Pitta are essential. Foods like buttermilk, coconut water, and fresh greens can help balance Pitta and hydrate the body, promoting healthier hair. Avoiding overly spicy, oily, and processed foods reduces internal heat, which helps calm the scalp and prevent further damage. Taking Triphala Churna and Amla juice is also beneficial, as they support digestion, detoxify the body, and help regulate Pitta. It’s important to ensure that your digestive system is strong, as poor digestion (Agni) can lead to imbalances that exacerbate hair loss. In addition to these treatments, integrating a lifestyle that includes reducing stress, improving sleep quality, and avoiding excessive heat exposure or harsh hair treatments can further support your efforts in managing Khalitya and promoting healthy hair growth.

Hey there! You’re definitely on the right track—tackling Khalitya with a combo of oils, herbs, and lifestyle changes can indeed make a difference. Now, with the oil massages, consistency is key. I’d say 2-3 times a week works well for most. You want to gently massage your scalp with either Bhringraj or Neelibhringadi oil for about 10-15 mins. Leave it in for a couple of hours, or even overnight if that suits your routine before washing it off.

To see some new growth, patience really is your friend here. Most people find it takes a good 3-6 months to notice. But remember, ayurveda’s about balance, so giving it time is crucial.

Your doctor’s advice on Triphala & Amla is solid. Taking Triphala Churna at night with warm water helps detox and supports smoother digestion which, as you mentioned, is vital for hair health. As for Amla juice, a daily morning dose can really help curb that excess Pitta.

Diet-wise, Ayurveda does emphasize how what you eat can affect health, including your hair. Cooling, nourishing foods are great. So, load up on buttermilk, fresh coconut water, and leafy greens. Spicy, hot foods tend to spike Pitta, so dialing down on those is smart.

Besides diet and oils, lifestyle tweaks like managing stress (hello yoga, meditation!), getting good sleep, and keeping hydrated work wonders. Stress can sneak in as a Vata aggravator, so keeping it in check indirectly aids hair health.

It can be a journey, but you’re making choices that align with your body. Hope is with persistence, you’ll see healthier, fuller hair in due time. You’re not alone, and many have found their balance through such steps. Stay patient and good luck on this healing path!
