Addressing your concerns, acne and hair fall can indeed be unsettling, but let’s look at manageable steps rooted in Siddha-Ayurvedic principles. Acne and itching could be indicative of an aggravated pitta, which is often associated with excess heat in the body and possibly an imbalance in your digestive fire (agni). For this, start with a few adjustments.
Firstly, consider cooling foods to pacify pitta. Incorporate plenty of fresh fruits such as watermelon and cucumber, which help in detoxifying your system. Avoid spicy, oily, or excessively salty foods as they might worsen the condition. Hydrate well with room temperature or lukewarm water, and consider herbal teas like coriander or fennel, which can be soothing.
For your hair fall, which may relate to a Vata imbalance affecting the sapta dhatus (tissue systems), including food rich in B vitamins, Omega-3, such as flaxseeds. Regularly oil your scalp with warm coconut or almond oil, a gentle massage can stimulate blood flow to the follicles promoting hair strength.
Acne or pimple relief might involve topical applications too. Daily, you may apply a paste of sandalwood powder mixed with rose water on affected areas. Leave this for 15-20 minutes before washing off with cool water. Sandalwood has cooling properties vital for pacifying pitta-related issues.
Furthermore, managing stress through practices like deep breathing or meditation can aid entire dosha harmonization and promote overall well-being. Ensure a consistent sleep schedule—quality sleep directly impacts skin and hair health.
Despite these remedies, if symptoms persist or severe, consultation with a qualified practitioner is crucial to customize treatment further based on your specific prakriti.
