Abstract

 Indralupta one of the Sirorogas, is very often  seen in day to day practice. The disease being  asymptomatic is causing lots of mental agony to the patient. The disease being correlated with alopecia of modern dermatology presents with patchy hair loss. In Ayurveda Pitta and Vaata are  explained as main causes for the loss of hair and  Kapha or Kleda is another important cause can uses hindrances for the growth of new hair. 

Our Acharya’s have recommended several local modalities along with  internal medications.  One of such external modalities is pracchanna.

A female patient aged 35 yrs came with the complaints of multiple patches of hair loss on scalp since          1 & 1/2 yrs. In examination it was noted that the patches show very smooth and shiny skin. The patient was subjected to Pracchanna one time for each large patches and small patches very left without  pracchanna. 

In a span of one month all the patches showed complete re growth of hair. The paper explains in detail about the application of Pracchanna in Indralupta.
