ABSTRACT

A 10-year-old female presented with severe hair loss for one month. The condition was gradually progressive and associated with a history of excessive consumption of junk food and packaged bakery products. Ayurvedic assessment suggested involvement of Pitta-Kapha vitiation along with Krimi involvement affecting the scalp. The treatment included Krumikuthar Rasa, Shatavari Kalpa, Arvindasava, Bhringraj Vati, and local application of Bhringraj-Brahmi oil, along with dietary modifications. After 15 days, approximately 50% improvement was observed, and at one month, a significant reduction in hair fall, improved scalp condition, and better hair strength were noted. No laboratory investigations were performed as symptoms were clinically evident and responded well to therapy. This case demonstrates the effectiveness of Ayurvedic internal medicines, external applications, and lifestyle modifications in the management of pediatric hair fall due to Pitta-Kapha aggravation and Krimi involvement.
