Hello Sir/Mam I have been suffering from heavy hair loss and thinning problem for past 3 years. I diagnosis my ferritin, calcium, thyroid and vitamin b12 levels in which ferritin was 30 and others were normal. I started taking heam up capsules on daily basis. I wanted to know what diet should I take to increase my ferritin levels naturally without harming my calcium and other nutrients levels. Thanks.

Hair fall may be attributed to different reasons like using artificial colors, hair styling, chemicals etc. It may be due to some internal weakness also. Please go for herbal neem shampoo. Use shikakai and amla as conditioner (soak amla and shikakai in water overnight and boil a little in morning). Apply it on hairs. Keep for half an hour and then wash. It will condition the hairs. One thing which I have observed is low levels of calcium in females which can cause hair fall, Drink milk twice a day, eat almonds, cashews, til (in winters) for stopping hair fall.
