Integrative Ayurvedic management of Khalitya (Hair Fall) using Gunjadi Taila, Amalaki Rasayana, Arogya Vardhini Vati, Saptamruta Loha and Prachhanna Karma - A Case Report

Background: Khalitya (hair fall) is a common condition described in Ayurveda, often associated with Darunaka (dandruff), Shirah Kandu (scalp itching), and Kesha Rukshata (dryness of hair). Conventional management frequently provides limited results, whereas Ayurvedic interventions offer a holistic approach. Case Presentation: A 32-year-old male patient presented with complaints of progressive hair fall, scalp itching, dandruff, and dryness of hair. Intervention: The patient was managed with an integrative Ayurvedic protocol that included local application of Gunjadi Taila, oral administration of Amalaka Rasayana, Arogya Vardhini Vati, and Saptamrita Loha, along with weekly Prachhanna Karma (therapeutic bloodletting). Outcome: Clinical improvement was assessed using a structured symptom-scoring method before and after treatment. Marked reduction in hair fall, scalp itching, dandruff, and dryness of hair was observed. Conclusion: This case highlights the effectiveness of a multimodal Ayurvedic regimen in the management of Khalitya. The integrative approach combining Gunjadi Taila, Rasayana therapy, and Prachhanna Karma may serve as a promising therapeutic option for hair fall and associated scalp disorders.
