ABSTRACT

Human hair is a source of pride, a symbol of identity, and has a high cosmectic value in society. Alopecia areata (AA) is a non-scarring hair loss condition that affects the scalp and body. Alopecia areata is a type of acquired skin disease that can affect all hair-bearing skin, including the scalp and beard, and is characterized by non-scarring hair loss in localized areas, similar to Indralupta. This is one of the most frequent, but also one of the most difficult and unpredictable diseases, affecting about 1.7 percent of the world's population. Indralupta, also known as Kapalagataroga and Kshudraroga by Vagbhata, is a disorder characterized by hair loss in which the vitiated Tridoshas, in conjunction with Rakta, damage the hair follicles, causing hair loss and clogging the hair roots, preventing re-growth. A case study was undertaken on a female patient diagnosed with Indralupta who was 18 years old at the time. This case report details how the case with Shaman Aushadhi was successfully managed.
