Kindly help.

Answered by Dr. Alka

Hello,

I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries.

I understand your concern. Hair problems may have many causes, such as hormonal problems, nutritional deficiencies, stress, dandruff, and others. So, first of all, rule out the proper cause, because once the proper cause is ruled out, it will be easier for you to seek treatment rather than opting for generalized hair fall treatment. For example, if you have a hormonal problem, visit a nearby physician who can prescribe appropriate treatment. Here, I am providing general treatment suggestions for dry hair and hair fall:

  1. Avoid using harsh shampoos for washing your hair, and refrain from washing your hair every day.
  2. Use a mild herbal shampoo for hair washing.
  3. If you have a dandruff problem, use an anti-dandruff shampoo, as dandruff can also cause hair fall and other hair problems.
  4. Take Mahabhringraj oil and massage it into your hair and scalp two to three times a week, preferably the night before washing your hair.
  5. Take two tablets of Asthiposhak twice a day with water for four weeks. This will help in curing your hair problems.
  6. Include fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet. Add raisins, dates, figs, and curry leaves to your meals. Avoid excessive consumption of caffeinated drinks and junk food.
  7. Ensure you get adequate sleep, at least six to eight hours per day.
  8. Avoid excessive stress.
  9. Protect your hair from pollution and sunlight. Cover your hair before going outside.

Follow these recommendations regularly, and you will soon experience positive results.

I hope you are satisfied with my answer.

Thank you.
