Hair plays a significant role in personality and aesthetics, with androgenetic alopecia affecting up to 80% of males. This case study evaluates the efficacy of palliative treatment and Viddhakarma (Puncture Therapy in Ayurveda) in managing androgenetic alopecia (Khalitya). A 37-year-old man presented with hair loss and a mild burning sensation on the scalp for six to seven years, primarily in the vertex and frontal regions. Treatment included Viddhakarma, Nilibhringadi Taila application (Shiroabhyanga), and palliative medications for four months, with weekly monitoring. New hair roots appeared within two weeks, existing hair improved in quality, and warmth sensation normalized after a month. Significant regrowth was observed without adverse effects, highlighting the effectiveness of personalized Ayurvedic management for androgenetic alopecia.
