Hair fall & scalp
Online Ayurvedic consultation for hair fall
Hair fall often has more than one cause — stress, diet, hormones, thyroid, a recent illness or pregnancy. An Ayurvedic doctor looks at all of it with you, then writes a plan for diet, routine, scalp care and, where appropriate, herbal medicines.

How Ayurveda looks at it
Ayurveda generally links hair health to digestion and nourishment, and to Pitta — the dosha associated with heat and metabolism. Your doctor assesses your Prakriti (constitution) and current imbalance to decide what to focus on.
Food matters in every Ayurvedic plan. See the pitta diet chart.

Common questions
Can I use Ayurveda alongside minoxidil or other hair treatments?
Often, yes — but tell your Ayurvedic doctor about everything you use. Don't stop a treatment a dermatologist prescribed without speaking to them first; stopping some treatments suddenly can cause a period of increased shedding.
How long before I notice a difference?
Hair grows slowly, so any change takes months rather than weeks, and it differs from person to person. Your doctor will tell you what is realistic for you and when to review the plan.
Does Ayurveda help with genetic (pattern) hair loss?
Pattern hair loss is largely genetic and hormonal. An Ayurvedic doctor can help with general scalp and hair health and with contributing factors like stress and diet, but will be honest that it may not change a genetic pattern. A dermatologist can advise on medical options.
Should I get blood tests first?
If you have recent reports — thyroid, iron/ferritin, vitamin D, B12 — share them before the consultation. If you don't, your doctor may suggest tests.
