Hi doctor,

My hair color changed from black to white in my early twenties. Is there any genetic problem in this case? Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I just read your query.

This can be due to improper lifestyle or happen without​ cause. You can follow this management for two weeks and consult me after two weeks regarding improvement and further management, or you can consult a nearby Ayurveda physician:

1. Use Eclipta Alba oil (Eclipta alba, Indigofera tinctoria, and Licorice) and gently massage it on your scalp.

2. Take capsule Eclipta prostrata (Semicarpus anacardium, Eclipta alba, Terminalia chebula) two times a day with water after food for one month.

3. Emblica officinalis, Terminalia bellerica, and Terminalia chebula,​ powder one teaspoon with lukewarm water before sleeping. Do not take anything after taking this powder.

I hope you understand my point and find my answer helpful.

Thank you.

Regarding follow up

Follow up after two weeks.
