In the context of Siddha-Ayurvedic principles, hair fall and itchiness can often relate to imbalances in pitta and vata doshas. Dr.JRK’S Lumina Herbal Shampoo is formulated using traditional herbs that are known to support scalp health and could potentially address these imbalances. The ingredients typically include herbs like amla (Indian gooseberry), which is revered for nourishing the hair, improving texture, and promoting hair growth. Neem, another common component, helps soothe itchy scalp due to its cooling and antimicrobial properties.
Herbal shampoos such as this aim to be gentler on the scalp compared to harsh chemical-based shampoos, which can sometimes exacerbate issues by stripping natural oils. For hair fall, the formulation may also support the sapta dhatus, particularly rasadhatu (plasma) and rudhiradhatu (blood), which nourish hair follicles. If an itchy scalp is accompanied by significant hair loss, exploring such a holistic approach could bring relief. However, it’s essential to be patient since herbal treatments can take time to reflect changes.
Regarding your concern about marketing, genuine formulations often adhere to traditional recipes and use high-quality ingredients, though experiences can vary from one individual to another. It might be helpful to try the shampoo for a few weeks while monitoring any changes in hair density and scalp condition.
You mentioned using oil massages and increased water intake—these are supportive acts. Use oils like bhringraj or sesame oil, applying them mildly warmed, followed by steam for better penetration. Consider dietary adjustments that calm pitta and vata, like including more cooling, nourishing foods such as coconut or aloe vera pulp juice. If symptoms persist or worsen, it might be beneficial to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner for a tailored regimen, especially if metabolic fire (agni) needs to be addressed.
