Vata–Kapha imbalance in Twak Roga, commonly triggered by dry weather + skin dehydration. It causes dryness, flaking (like dandruff), and itching. 1. Internal balance Tab Neem - 1 tab twice a day after meal Manjishthadi kwath - 15 ml twice a day before meal with equal quantity of water Use Triphala churna at night for mild detox 2. External care Daily Abhyanga (oil massage) with warm Coconut oil or Sesame oil Use Chandanadi soap 3. Diet Increase ghee, warm foods, fluids Avoid dry, spicy, fried foods 4. Lifestyle Avoid long hot showers Keep skin well moisturized after bath
