Abstract

Hair is the crown mark of a mortal being. Humans have roughly five million hair follicles, which offer protection from cold and UV radiation, produce sebum and can have a significant cerebral impact when growth or structure is unstable.                                                                

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune complaint that attacks your body’s hair follicles, causing patchy hair loss. Specifics and curatives can help your hair regrow, though severe cases may not respond to treatment. According to contemporary lores, the main treatment for alopecia areata is the use of corticosteroid injectables, which show dangerous side effects and aren't recommended for long-term use. Alopecia areata is a burning hair loss problem in all age groups, having a frequency rate of 0.7 in India. Alopecia areata can be identified with the Indralupta complaint mentioned in Ayurveda. Indralupta is mentioned as Kshudra roga by Acharya Vagbhata, Madhavnidan, and Yog Ratnakar. Acharya Sushruta. In Ayurveda, both Shaman and Shodhan treatment modalities are mentioned for Indralupta.

KEY WORDS:-  Jalaukavacharan, Indralupta, Alopecia areata, Shaman chikitsa.
