Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am 18 years old, and I have a serious issue. My beard hair is changing color from black to red. In my family, no one faced this issue. My sleeping routine is from 2:00 A.M to 11:00 A.M. My diet is also good. I am disappointed because of this problem. Please tell me the solution to this problem.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The coloration of hair from black to red or coppery means you have high pitta in your body. You might also experience excess body heat. You can prevent it before it turns grey. If you are not overweight, you can consume a teaspoon full of ghee every day early in the morning as ghee is good for pitta issues. Vitamin deficiency may also lead to discoloration of hair. I suggest you do pranayama every day (ujjayi pranayama), drink plenty of water, and consume powdered curry and drumstick leaves. Avoid doing anything that drains your energy, like overdoing exercise and masturbation. Consume amla juice daily; dilute it well in water before consuming it (dilute half amla fruit in 4 cups of water). You can also consume dry amla powder. Make sure to eat your food on time. Take more green leafy vegetables like spinach, bhringraj (false daisy), broccoli, carrots, black beans, soybeans, bengal gram (chana dal), sweet potato, almonds, dates, and raisins. Apply black cumin oil on your beard (kalonji oil) and bringraj powder. Consume more buttermilk and coconut water.

I would suggest Cool melon syrup (Vitis vinifera (Draksha), Hemidesmus indicus (Sariva), Shadanga churna) two teaspoon, morning and afternoon, Neelibringadhi tailam (indigo and false daisy) oil for external application, Narasimha rasyanam (herbal butter containing mimosa plant) 1 teaspoon with milk at night before bed, and Bringrajasavam (extract of Eclipta alba) two teaspoons, morning and afternoon.

Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with them, and take medicines with their consent.
