Abstract

Hair is crowning glory and a mark of identity. The scalp and hair diseases are of more importance nowadays due to the cosmetic value in society. Indraluptais a disease among kapalagataroga characterized by loss of hair. Depending on the symptoms in contemporary science we can probably correlate to Alopecia. Prachhanna is explained as one of the raktamokshana procedure indicated in raktajavyadhithat helps in draining the vitiated rakta. In indralupta there will be vitiation of rakta with kapha which obstructs the hair follicle due to which there will be hair loss. Sushruta mentions that if lepa is applied after prachhanna then better hair growth is obtained.
