Indralupta is a disease considered as Kapala gata roga by Vagbhata and Kshudra roga by Susrutha, which is characterized by loss of Hair in which the vitiated Tridoshas along with Rakta affects the Hair roots follicles causing loss of hair and hampers the regrowth by obstructing the Hair roots. The etiological factors like Guru Snigdhda, Atilavana , Viruddh Ahara Vihara, Atapasevena etc. are responsible for Indralupta. Indralupta symptomatically can be correlated to Alopecia Areata which is a Autoimmune Disease resulting in loss of hair from scalp or elsewhere on the body. This is one of the most common but very challenging and capricious disease affects approximately 1.7% of World's population. The present work has been undertaken to evaluate effect of Sthanika Chikitsa like Shiro Lepa with drugs having combination of Katu Tikta Rasa Pradhana, Laghu Ruksha Ushna Virya Oushadha’s Patola Patra Swarasa and Maricha Choorna in the management of Indralupta.
