Hello Thanks for sharing what’s going on. I get how annoying it is when oily skin, scalp issues, acne, and a weird smell start messing with how you feel about yourself, look, and handle stuff at work – especially in a hot kitchen. YOUR CONCERN Main issues: – Super oily scalp and skin – Acne with cysts on your face, chest, back, and fingers – Seborrheic dermatitis (dandruff, itching, flakes) – A strong, cheesy/sweaty smell from your scalp and skin – It gets worse when you’re hot, stressed, sweating, or eating greasy stuff How long it’s been happening: Over 6 months What makes it worse: Stress, heat, sweat, fatty and sugary foods AYURVEDIC VIEW What’s up is a combo of: 1. Kapha + Pitta Mess –Kapha → Too much oil, sticky sweat, blocked pores – Pitta → Swelling, redness, acne, smell 2. Rakta & Meda Dhatu Mess Blood and fat tissue issues lead to: –Seborrhea –Fungal overgrowth – Recurring boils and cysts 3. Toxic Buildup From too much fat, sugar, fried foods & stress → which causes a stinky smell WHAT WE’RE AIMING FOR – Less oil – Get rid of fungal overgrowth – Cleanse your blood – Dry out extra Kapha – Cool down Pitta – Stop new acne and odor AYURVEDIC REMEDIES TO TAKE (They’re safe and work if you take them regularly) 1.Arogyavardhini Vati 1 tablet twice a day after food (Detox your liver, cut oil) 2.Mahamanjisthadi Kwath15 ml + warm water twice daily Clean up blood
3.Gandhak Rasayan 1 tablet twice a day
(Keep acne &fungus in check) 4.Nimba Amritadi Kashayam 15 ml twice a day Reduce swelling, fight fungus 5.Triphala Churna 1 teaspoon at night (Clear out gut toxins) EXTERNAL CARE 1️⃣ Scalp & Hair – Put Neem oil + Tea tree oil (3 drops) on your scalp at night – Wash with Ketoconazole + Neem shampoo 3 times a week – Give it a final rinse with Triphala water This gets rid of the fungus smell and grease. 2️⃣ Face & Body Use Multani mitti + neem powder + rose water paste twice a week → It soaks up oil and kills germs. DIET PLAN ❌AVOID – Fried stuff – Cheese, milk, bakery treats – Sugar, chocolates – Booze –Eggs – Fast food ✅AVOID – Greens – Buttermilk with roasted jeera – Pomegranate – Moong dal – Turmeric + neem water in the morning DAILY DETOX DRINK Morning drink: Warm water + lemon + neem powder + a bit of turmeric This lowers body odor from the inside. You can totally fix this with a good internal clean-up. The heat and stress have made Pitta flare up – now Ayurveda will cool down, dry out, and clean your system. You don’t have to deal with this anymore! Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate

Hi… Oily skin is a common issue For this you can use Manjishtarishta-15 ml BD Khadirarishta-15 ml BD Apply less oil to your scalp… Don’t apply any cosmetic on your face And use good brand anti acne and oil free face wash for daily use

Your symptoms (persistent oiliness, cystic acne, scalp dandruff, odor worsened by heat, stress, and high-fat/sugar diet) clearly indicate Kapha–Pitta aggravation with Rakta & Twak dushti in Ayurveda, worsened by Ushna (heat) and Sweda (sweating) from kitchen work. Prescription: 1. Patola Katurohinyadi Kashayam 15ml at night only After food. 2. Maha Manjishtadi Kashayam or Shodhak Syrup 15ml in the morning and afternoon 15 mins before food. 3.

For Bathing- Use Bath powders instead of Soap or use a Skin friendly pH soap.

1.Gandhak rasayan 2 tab twice daily with water after meals 2.Arogyavardhini vati 2 tab twice daily with water after meals 3.Mahamanjisthadi kwath 20 ml with 20 ml water twice daily after meals 4.Sariva churan 1/2 tsp twice daily with water after meals 🥗 Diet & Lifestyle - Avoid: Fried foods, excess dairy, red meat, sugar, cold drinks. - Favor: Warm, light meals—khichdi, moong dal, green leafy vegetables, bitter foods (karela, neem). - Hydration: Drink warm water throughout the day. - Kitchen heat: Wash face/scalp with cool water after work; use sandalwood or rose water spray. - Stress: Practice Anulom Vilom, Bhramari pranayama daily.

🧴 External Care - Neem + Triphala decoction rinse for scalp once/twice weekly. - Multani Mitti + Neem powder pack for face/back once weekly. - Ayurvedic medicated oils (like Nimbadi taila) for scalp massage before bath.

Without seeing the actual state of your present scalp and skin it is difficult to just a medication. Any way focussing on what you said you have use Internal Medicines : 1.

Continue this for 2 weeks. Then Review PLEASE MAKE CHANGES IN YOUR DIET AVOID INTAKE OF OILY-FRIED FOOD ITEMS, AVOID EXCESS USE OF FERMENTED FOOD ITEMS LIKE IDLI, DOSA …, IF YOU CAN HAVE SUGAR CUT, it might be better.
