But with the advent of  faulty dietary habits and sedentary life style, socio economic work load; now a days its leading to  premature greying of hair and hair fall related problems etc. Even in our ancient classics both Acharya Susruta and Charaka have mentioned that virudha ahar and vihar leads to manifestation of Khalitya,  Palitya, Indralupta, Bali etc. Indralupta is one such hair loss problem which is kept along with khalitya  and further kept under kshudra roga and Siro rogas .Here is one case study of a lady who was suffering  from Alopecia Areata (Indralupta) for last 1 years. She was primarily treated with Pracchan karma, Siro  lepa and Samana chikista for 4 months.
