Incidence of Premature Graying is increasing day by day. Incidence as per W.H.O is largely between the age group of 25-30 years. Hair colour contributes immensely in physical appearance and self-perception. It is well known that Premature Graying of Hair results from a reduction of pigment, but exact underline cause for this is still mystery for medical fraternity. In contemporary medical science, there is as such no effective treatment for premature graying of hair but various previous researches in Ayurveda have shown the potential in its prevention and management. Acharya Charaka and Acharya Sushruta have quoted Premature Greying of Hair as Akaal Palitya and mentioned it as Ras Dhatu Pradosaja Vikara.5,6 In Ayurveda classics various external and internal medications have been described for this disease and Vibhitaka Majja Taila Nasya is one of them mentioned by Acharya Sharangdhara.7 So, on the basis of classical references and researches Vibhitaka Majja Taila Nasya has been selected for this study and a clinical trial was conducted on 40 patients with Greying hair. These patients were divided into 2 groups. Group A (trial group - Vibhitaka Majja Taila Nasya) and Group B (control group). After 90 days of clinical, results showed significant improvement in subjective parameter like colour of hair, dry splitted hair, burning on scalp.as well as on objective parameter like GSS score and Serum Ferritin level.
