Premature achromotrichia (Premature graying of hair) is one of the common cosmetic problems seen in general practice as well as in Shalakyatantra OPD, in which onset of graying of hair is seen before natural process. i.e. in young age or before the age of 30-35 years. In Ayurveda it is considered as Palityaone of the kshudraroga and shiro-kapalagataroga. And many kesharanjakayogasare explained for this condition in the form of shirolepaalong with other therapies like shiroabhyanga, nasya and internal keshyarasayana. Lohamaladilepa is one of such kesharanjaka yoga explained in Bhaishajya Ratnavali. This paper highlights about the action of Lohamaladilepa in akalapalita w r to pre mature graying of hair.
