    TLDR PRP combined with Ayurvedic medicine may effectively treat hair loss.
    The document details a case study where a 25-year-old male with hair loss underwent Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy alongside Ayurvedic medicines, showing promise in treating hair loss and improving hair density. PRP therapy involves injecting a patient's own concentrated platelets into the scalp, which, combined with Ayurvedic treatments like Asthiposhak Vati and Arogyavardhini Vati, aimed to balance body doshas and support hair health. The study concludes that PRP, especially when used with Ayurvedic medicine, could be a safe and effective treatment for hair health, but it acknowledges the need for larger, randomized controlled trials to better understand PRP's long-term effects on hair regeneration. The document does not provide data on the number of participants or control groups, which limits the strength of the conclusions from this single case study.
