Body itching
Hi, I have this problem where at times when at home or outside my body starts itching and my hair scalp also itches. It lasts only for few minutes but occurs once or twice in a day.
I have also being diagnosed with alopecia and my hair is thinning and there are bald patches appearing. Is it caused due to body heat?
Are there simple steps to counter this problem without use of medicines??

Try to maintain hygiene. According to Ayurveda it may be due to krumi (worms infestation), so get it diagnosed by ayurvedic physician. In home remedy you can try head bath with decoction of Awala, shikekai and jeshthamadh. Also whole body bath with water boiled adding Neem tree leaves.
