Abstract

Khalitya, described in Ayurveda as a Pitta-pradhāna disorder involving Vāta, Kapha, and Rakta Doṣa, leads to hair fall and impaired hair growth. It is classified under Kṣudraroga and correlates with alopecia in modern medicine. This single case study evaluates the effect of Bhringarajadi Taila in the management of Khalitya. A patient presenting with excessive hair fall and scalp dryness was treated with regular local application of Bhringarajadi Taila for a defined period. Assessment was done based on hair fall, hair density, and scalp condition. The treatment showed significant improvement, indicating the potential efficacy of Bhringarajadi Taila in Khalitya management. Materials and Methods: This was a randomised open-label single-arm clinical trial. 40 patients of Khalitya (hair fall) were randomly selected from the O.P.D. and I.P.D. of Govt. Ayurvedic College and Hospital and Sharadeswari Govt. Ayurvedic Hospital, Balangir. Patients were assessed before and after 30 days of treatment based on hair fall, new hair growth, visibility of scalp, and scalp condition. Observation and Results: After completion of treatment, 8 (20%) patients showed remarkable improvement, 17 (42.5%) showed moderate improvement, 13 (32.5%) showed mild improvement, and 2 (5%) patients showed poor improvement. Conclusion: The clinical study concludes that Bhringarājādi Taila was effective in the management of Khalitya (Alopecia) by reducing hair fall and promoting hair growth.
