ABSTRACT Indralupta, described in the Ayurvedic classics, corresponds to the modern clinical condition Alopecia Areata, characterized by localized hair loss from the scalp or beard region. In Ayurveda, the ailment is referred to as a Kshudra Roga (small disease) and goes by names like Indralupta, Khalitya (hair fall), Palitya (hair greying), etc., yet it causes serious psychological and cosmetic issues. The romakoopa (hair follicle) is obstructed by Pitta and Vata aggravation, followed by Kapha-Rakta, These vitiated Kapha and Pitta create a favorable environment for Krimi (micro-organisms/parasites) in the scalp region, that inhibits regeneration, according to Ayurveda. Even while corticosteroids and immunosuppressants are the mainstays of modern therapy, they can have serious adverse effects, particularly if taken for a long time. The Ayurvedic concept, etiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and treatment of indralupta are all covered in this essay. Here is a case of alopecia areata that was successfully treated with Ayurvedic medicine.
