Abstract

MANAGEMENT OF ALOPECIA AREATA (INDRALUPTA) BY CONVENTIONAL AYURVEDIC TREATMENT PROTOCOL: A CASE REPORT

*Dr. Deepthi Surendran and Dr. Vidhyaprabha R.

ABSTRACT

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder characterized by patchy hairloss mainly from scalp without any inflammatory signs and seems to have genetic basis, which can be understood from the significant involvement of CD+NK2D T Cells. According to conventional medicine, conservative management of this disorder include corticosteroid therapy and immunotherapy which can help, but can’t cure. It can be correlated to Indralupta explained in Ayurvedic treatises. This is a single case study of a 27 year old married female with patchy hairloss from the scalp region in circular pattern prediagnosed with alopecia areata. She was successfully treated in line with Ayurvedic treatment protocol i.e prachaana preceded by snehana and shodana. The internal and external medications was continued after the parasurgical procedure for a period of 3 months and rasayana was added in the later part of the treatment. The hair follicles were found progressively growing during every follow up and full normal hair growth was established in 8 months. She was asked to continue rasayana till one year to prevent the recurrence of the disease. This case report thus proves that alopecia areata can be successfully treated through Ayurvedic treatment protocol indicated for indralupta in classical samhitas which initiates and establishes healthy hair regrowth.

Keywords: Alopecia areata, Indralupta, Ayurveda ,Prachaana, Rasayana.
