Patient's Query

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.
