Ayurvedic Treatment For Indralupta (Alopecia)

Indralupta is a skin ailment that affects all the hair-bearing skin including beard and scalp. Patients who are suffering from Indralupta experiences loss of hair which is not like the usual hair loss but rather tufts of hair which tend to fall out over a short period of time.

According to the science of Ayurveda, out of three vital Doshas of our body, Vata and Pitta get localized in the hair pores in the scalp region in aggravated condition. This condition obstructs micro-channels (Sleshma and Shonita)to supply nutrients to the hair follicle, which results in falling of tufts of hair in that particular region and also preventing further regrowth of hair that leaves a bald patch.

The aim of the whole process is to reduce Pitta Dosha by purification of the body, according to the severity of the condition.
