Abstract

Indraluptha is one among Shirokapalagatha Roga mentioned by Acharya Vagbhata. It is correlated to Alopacia Areata. Indraluptha is characterized by localized non-scarring hair loss. Vagbhata has explained the cause for Indraluptha is Vata and Pitta which causes hair to fall off while Kapha along with Rakta obstructing the hair follicles. In contemporary science treatments are limited. Ayurveda has great potential to treat Indraluptha. Here a case of Indraluptha successfully treated with Ayurvedic management is recorded.
