Ayurvedic Hair Care Specialist
MD (Ayurveda) — All India Institute of Ayurveda (AIIA), New Delhi · 16 Years Experience
Dr. Priya Sharma is one of India's foremost practitioners at the intersection of classical Ayurvedic pharmacology and modern trichology. Trained at the All India Institute of Ayurveda — the country's apex Ayurvedic research institution under the Ministry of AYUSH — she has spent 16 years translating ancient hair science into clinically grounded, evidence-referenced formulations.
Dr. Sharma completed her BAMS with distinction, followed by an MD (Ayurveda) from the All India Institute of Ayurveda (AIIA), New Delhi — India's premier postgraduate Ayurvedic institution, established by the Ministry of AYUSH. Her MD research focused on Dravyaguna (Ayurvedic Pharmacology), specifically the pharmacodynamics of Keshya (hair-beneficial) herbs referenced in the Bhavaprakasha Nighantu and Charaka Samhita.
Over 16 years of clinical practice, Dr. Sharma has treated thousands of patients presenting with Khalitya (androgenic alopecia), Indralupta (alopecia areata), postpartum telogen effluvium, and stress-induced hair loss. Her clinical approach integrates classical Ayurvedic diagnosis — Dosha assessment, Prakriti analysis, and Dhatu evaluation — with modern trichological understanding of DHT pathways, follicular miniaturisation, and the hair growth cycle.
She joined VedaHairCare as Lead Formulator with a mandate to create an Ayurvedic hair oil that is pharmacologically authentic — not merely "herbal" in branding. The result was NewGrow Gold Plus, prepared using the Tel Pak Vidhi method described in the Ashtanga Hridayam: a slow-infusion process that maximises the transfer of phytoactive compounds — wedelolactone, ecliptine, bacosides, and Vitamin C — into the sesame oil base.
Dr. Sharma's published research covers Bhringraj (Eclipta alba) as a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, the Ayurvedic classification of hair loss conditions, and evidence-based Garbhini Paricharya protocols for pregnancy and postpartum hair care. She is a registered practitioner under the Central Council of Indian Medicine (CCIM) and contributes regularly to Ayurvedic medical journals and the VedaHairCare knowledge base.
