Onions:

 Topically applied onion juice on the scalp. The high sulfur content of onions helps to stimulate new growth and circulation, and their antibacterial qualities help to get rid of any bacteria or infections that might be the cause of hair loss diseases. Moreover, onion skins are frequently applied directly to the scalp's afflicted area.

Coconut Milk:

 Using a mixture of coconut milk and one gram of flour on your scalp, you may make sure that your hair grows back rapidly. This paste stimulates hair follicles quickly and enhances the overall health of your scalp.

Aloe Vera:

Fenugreek:

Studies have shown that some of the hormone-stimulating components in fenugreek really help to rebuild hair follicles that have been severely damaged or destroyed due to alopecia. Many proteins and chemical components found in fenugreek seeds help promote hair development and fortify your scalp's defenses against conditions like alopecia areata.

External Ayurvedic Therapy:

Bloodletting, or pacchanam, is regarded as one of the most effective external Ayurvedic treatments for alopecia. Other Ayurvedic therapies like Shirodhara, Dhoomapana, Nasya, etc. are also performed as part of Ayurvedic treatment, depending on the type and severity of the symptoms.

Oils like coconut, almond, or sesame can be used to massage the scalp on a regular basis to strengthen hair roots, improve blood flow to hair follicles, and encourage hair growth. Particularly advantageous are oils infused with herbs such as neem, amla, brahmi, or bhringraj.

Yoga

Although yoga isn't a cure for alopecia, it can improve general wellbeing by reducing stress and encouraging a healthy lifestyle, which may help those who have the condition.
Some forms of hair loss may be brought on by stress. Consequently, incorporating yoga into our normal treatment regimen may aid in stress relief and enhance mental and emotional equilibrium.

Stress reduction: Since stress exacerbates alopecia, yoga could be a helpful technique for stress management. Think about gentle yoga styles like Yin or Hatha, which place an emphasis on breathing exercises and relaxation methods.
Scalp Stimulation: By increasing blood flow to the scalp, some yoga poses and techniques may help to maintain the health of your hair. Pose variations that enhance blood flow to the scalp include the Downward Dog, Headstand, and Shoulder Stand. Inversions should be done carefully if you're new to yoga or have health issues.
Breathing exercises: sometimes referred to as pranayama, can help reduce tension and promote relaxation. Two breathing exercises that are especially relaxing are Alternate Nostril Breathing (Nadi Shodhana) and Diaphragmatic Breathing (Diaphragmatic Breathing).

Yoga Nidra: A popular guided meditation method for profound relaxation is called yoga nidra. Yoga Nidra has the potential to improve sleep quality and lessen anxiety, both of which are beneficial to general health.
Hormone Balance Asanas: Certain types of alopecia may be affected by the hormonal balance that some asanas have the ability to achieve. The bridge, camel, and fish postures are among the kinds of stances that increase hormonal activity and stimulate the thyroid gland.
General Health: Physical, mental, and emotional well-being are all enhanced by yoga practice. Frequent practice can promote acceptance and increase self-esteem, both of which are beneficial for those with alopecia.

ACUPUNCTURE

To stimulate specific locations on the scalp, acupuncture needles are carefully placed. This specific method aims to strengthen and increase blood flow to the scalp, which will help the hair follicles.

Stress Reduction: Acupuncture encourages relaxation and helps lower stress levels. Certain forms of hair loss are thought to be influenced by stress. Therefore, lowering stress levels may help people who have alopecia due to stress.

Improving Blood Circulation: Acupuncture improves blood flow to specific hair follicles. Increased blood flow supports the health of hair by providing the hair follicles with greater nourishment.

Immune System Modulation: Acupuncture can be used to modify the immune response in cases of autoimmune illnesses that cause hair loss, such as alopecia areata. This may lessen the damage that the immune system does to hair follicles.
