Uses
Malatyadi Tailam benefits:
- It is used in treatment of alopecia areata, premature baldness, dandruff and excessive hair fall.
- It is also used for hot oil treatment.
- It can be used for a long period of time.
- This oil is used specifically to treat alopecia areata – hair loss in patches.
These ingredients stimulate the affected scalp skin, correct the immune response locally, to prevent further hair fall and initiate hair growth.
The Karaveera and Agni create a controlled inflammation locally, which is healed by jasmine and Naktamala. This way, the immune response to external stimulus / irritation / inflammation is corrected, which helps to treat alopecia areata.
Mode Of Usage

- Apply sufficient quantities of the oil to the scalp, massage gently. Take hot water head bath after half an hour.
- You can also apply this oil and leave it over night and take head bath the next morning.
- For alopecia patches, a cotton swab is dipped in this oil and placed over the patch for 15 – 30 minutes
- In alopecia it is used in combination with Eladi choornam, Gulgulwadi choornam etc.
How to wash off the hair oil?
Wait for at least 30 minutes before washing hair. Longer the delay, better (except for very oily hairs). It is best to use herbal hair wash powders to wash off the hair oil. One or two rounds of wash with hair wash powder will get rid off oil from hair. It is very fine, even if some amount of oiliness remains on the hair.
Traditional treatises mention cold water to wash hair and face. (Reference: Ashtanga Sangraha, Sutrasthana, Dinacharya chapter). But to wash oily hair, lukewarm water can also be used. Avoid very hot water for hair wash.
Side Effects and Caution
- This oil is not meant to be taken orally. Accidental oral intake leads to poisonous effects.
- Keep this oil out of sight and reach of children.

Questions
How it acts on hair fall?
It is more useful in alopecia areata, where a patch of hair is erased. Before the hairs re-grow, there needs to be some local irritant to stimulate skin. This oil does that.
Also, Malati and Naktamala are very potent skin detox herbs, useful in addressing dandruff, seborrhic dermatitis, scalp psoriasis etc scalp skin issues, which harm the hairs.
Can I use shampoo to wash the hair after oil application?
There are a lot of Ayurvedic hair oils that can be used daily. Malatyadi taila, Neelibhringadi taila, Brahmi taila, Bhringamalaka taila etc.
Hair oils can be applied in three ways. A relatively large quantities of hair oil applied to the entire length of hair, 30 minutes to 120 minutes before bath / hair wash. A small quantity of oil, applied after bath. A small quantity of oil applied in evening or at night before going to bed. If you are planning to apply hair oil and wash your hair, after some time, it is fine to use Shampoos.
But as per Ayurvedic principles, it is best to use herbal hair wash powders rather than shampoos for hair wash. Less chemicals, less addditives, more natural. If you cannot use herbal hair wash powder, then using shampoo is fine.

Hello Dr. How long to apply this oil to get renewed hair oil? I am noticing good results atleast hairfall has stopped. Does this oil have to be applied forever?
Hi, it is good to apply this hair oil on daily basis as long as possible.
It will take a minimum one month time to show good results.
If you are able to get rid of the oil from hair, even with cold water bath, then there is no problem with it.
There is no special Ayurvedic technique that I know to get rid of chlorine and salt from bathing water.
