    A case study of a 16-year-old boy with alopecia areata, who previously experienced unsatisfactory results and recurrence with conventional treatments, demonstrated complete recovery after 4 months of Ayurvedic treatment. The Ayurvedic approach included Shamana Chikitsa, Jalaukavcharan (Leech therapy), Nasya, and Shirolepa, leading to hair regrowth within 30 days and no adverse effects. This suggests that Ayurvedic treatments, which address both symptoms and causative factors, can effectively manage Indralupta (alopecia areata) with minimal chances of recurrence.
