Hello,
Working in night shifts is a cause of increasing the Pitta due to which problems like hair loss take place.
You need to take Virechan (mild purgation)by consulting ayu. doctor.
Apply Vatajatadi Tail on scalp everyday,avoid using chemical shampoo.
Your diet should include vit E,calcium supplements.
