ABSTRACT

Alopecia areata is a common autoimmune disorder that often results in unpredictable hair loss. It affects 2% of the World population. In India, the prevalence of Alopecia areata is 0.7%. Eventhough it is not a life threatening disease, it is associated with beauty and youthfulness in women and men.Use of potent corticosteroids is the most effective therapy in modern medicine, although overuse these produces side effects & may lead to skin atrophy.So the remedies in Ayurveda have more acceptance.In Ayurveda, signs and symptoms of Alopecia areata can be corelated with Indraluptha. Acharya Vagbhata explained Indraluptha under sirorogadhikara and Acharya Susrutha under Kshudrarogadhikara. Among Panchakarma, Nasyakarma is considered as best therapeutic measure for the disease of urdhvajatrugatha pradesha. Pratimarsha nasya is a special type of sneha nasya with low dose & minimal complications. Madhookayashtyadi ghritha is one of the herbal formulations prescribed in Ayurvedic text Ashtanga Hridaya Shirorogadhikara. 
The study design was pre and post assessment interventional study with a sample size of 20 participants with an age group 20 to 60 years who were diagnosed having Alopecia areata attending OPD& IPD of Panchakarma and Kayachikitsa at Govt.Ayurveda college, Thiruvananthapuram.

Assessment of the study was done using SALT Score. The pre and post test data was analysed statistically using paired t test. The study concludes that Madhookayashtyadi ghritha pratimarsha nasya is effective in changing the SALT score of participants having Alopecia areata.

Madhavanidana , Vangasena , Sarngadharasamhita has quoted the pathology  Kampavata- a disease condition that explains Parkinson’s disease in similar way. In short Parkinson’s disease can be compared to Kampavata.Vasti is paramoushadha of vata. To be specific ,Musthadi Rajayapana vasti is brimhana and vatahara in nature. So it is the best choice for a vatavikara like Parkinson’s disease. Brimhana type of vasti plays an important role , hence Rajayapana vasti .The study is pre-post study.
