Hairfall weight gain skin issues - #740
Megha
Hello, Doctor. I’ve been experiencing significant postpartum hair loss along with a flaky, itchy scalp, which I suspect may be contributing to breakouts on my face due to dandruff. My skin is very sensitive, and even with regular cleansing, I’m still dealing with pimples. Additionally, I’ve noticed weight gain recently, which is adding to my concerns. Could you recommend any treatments or lifestyle adjustments that might help with these issues?

Postpartum hair loss, flaky and itchy scalp, and sensitive skin with breakouts are common concerns that can be managed through Ayurveda. For your scalp, regularly massage with **Bhringraj oil** mixed with coconut oil to nourish hair follicles. Use a neem or amla-based shampoo to control dandruff, and consider a hair mask of amla powder mixed with yogurt for added nourishment. Internally, take **Triphala** (1 teaspoon at night) to detoxify and improve skin health. Apply **Kumkumadi Tailam** on your face at night, ensuring to patch test first due to sensitivity. To support weight management, focus on a fiber-rich diet with whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, while reducing sugar and refined carbs. Incorporate gentle exercises, such as walking or postpartum yoga, to promote weight loss. Lastly, practicing mindfulness and relaxation techniques can help manage stress. Regular consultation with an Ayurvedic practitioner will provide personalized guidance for holistic recovery.

Postpartum hair loss can sure be tough, it's like your body is adjusting and finding its balance again. In Ayurveda, this might relate to Vata imbalance – it's common after childbirth. So, we want to nourish ya body and calm things down.
For your hair, let's start with a simple scalp massage with warm coconut oil or bhringraj oil, once a week at least. Let it soak in for an hour, then a gentle shampoo is good to go. This massages boosts circulation and helps to nourish your hair roots. Oh, and remember not to use too hot water when washing your hair. It can make dandruff worse.
The breakouts… tricky, yeah? Keeping it simple is probs better since you mentioned sensitive skin. A gentle cleanser twice a day, followed by maybe a light touch of rose water as a toner. Try a turmeric face pack once a week, it can help with inflammation. Just a mix of turmeric and chickpea flour with a bit of water.
And hey, about the weight gain, don't stress too much, yeah? Focus on balancing your meals – emphasizing fresh fruits and veggies, whole grains, and some light proteins, like lentils or chickpeas. Avoid refrigerated, leftover foods – they can mess with ya Agni, your digestive fire. Consider sipping warm water or herbal teas like ginger or mint through the day to boost metabolism.
Oh, and regular light exercise! Even a daily brisk walk or some yoga postures can do wonders – it’s not just burning calories, it helps balance your mind and body.
Some say adding a spoonful of triphala to warm water before bed, aids digestion and even supports detoxification, but its gentle. Just keep noticing how your body reacts.
In case things continue escalating or seem out of hand, good to reach out to an Ayurvedic practitioner directly or contact your doctor to ensure there’s no underlying thing that's super serious.
