Hair fall in this rainy season

Question

Hi.

It's normal to lose up to 100 hair per day, and in most people, those hairs grow back. But many men -- and some women -- lose hair as they grow older.

Management:
take diet rich in protein like non-veg, eggs (it's loaded with essential nutrients such as proteins, vitamin b12, iron, zinc and omega 6 fatty acids in large amounts and biotin), different pulses & legumes, sprouts, nuts (sp. Walnuts and almonds); iron-rich food like green vegetables, dates, carrots, prunes, green peas; also oats, shrimp, take flax seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, green tea, soyabean, fruits, salads, etc.
Take low-fat dairy products (they also contain whey and casein, two high-quality protein sources)
take proper 6-9hrs of sound sleep.
Give up the habit of smoking and excessive alcohol intake.
Avoid junk food and any kind of beverages (tea, coffee, aerated drinks, cold drinks, etc.)
avoid use of hard water to wash the head rather use boiled water for head wash.
Avoid use of harsh hair colour, hair treatment like rebonding, straightening, perming, etc.
Cover your head with scarf or cap while stepping outside.

Medication:
take homeopathic medicines - schwabe's wiesbaden 200 & alfalfa tonic twice a day for 1 month and revert.
Use schwabe's arnica shampoo and hair growth oil regularly as per the condition of your scalp (minimum 3 times a week).

Hairfall can be due to number of reasons such as:
- prolonged/ severe illness such as typhoid, tb, major surgery
- crash dieting, anemia
- hormonal imbalance - hypothyroidism, pcod etc
- intake of drugs such as some antihypertensives, anticoagulants
- deficiency of various essential nutrients.
- in males, it could also be because of genetic factors and dht
the cause should be treated if possible. Treatment of the cause, where possible, is important. General precautions include:
- take diet rich in iron, calcium and proteins
- use mild shampoos only (shampoos generally do not regrow hair, only prevent excessive fall)
- do not use excessive chemicals on hair
- also, avoid procedures such as ironing, hot air blow drying of hair, rebounding etc.
