Dandruff and hair fall, especially when they persist for many years, are often linked to an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, which governs the body’s heat and inflammation. In Ayurveda, the root cause of dandruff and hair loss can be attributed to factors like poor digestion, stress, or excess heat in the body. To address this, herbal treatments such as Bhringraj, Amla, and Neem are commonly used to balance Pitta, promote scalp health, and strengthen hair follicles. Regular oiling with Ayurvedic oils like Bhringraj oil or Amla oil can nourish the scalp, reduce inflammation, and improve hair growth. A gentle massage with these oils improves blood circulation and helps restore hair strength. It’s also important to follow a Pitta-balancing diet, rich in cooling and nourishing foods, such as fresh fruits, leafy greens, and healthy fats, while avoiding spicy, oily, and processed foods. Managing stress through practices like yoga, meditation, or Pranayama can also help in reducing the impact of Pitta imbalance on hair health. Consistency with these treatments, along with a balanced lifestyle, can help address the underlying causes of dandruff and hair fall over time.

That’s quite a long time dealing with dandruff, and the hair fall is certainly concerning too. It’s important to look at both of these together as they can often be connected. In Ayurveda, we generally see hair health as linked to our doshas, particularly Pitta and Vata. First thing that comes to mind is the role of diet and digestion, our "Agni." A poor diet and poor digestion can disrupt our internal balance, affecting the body's ability to nourish the hair. Try incorporating foods that pacify Pitta and Vata - like sweet, cooling, and hydrating foods. Favor things like cucumbers, leafy greens, and tender meats if you're non-vegetarian. Avoid too much of spicy, sugary, or overly processed stuff, alright? Regular oiling also helps. Use coconut oil or sesame oil - both good for calming Vata and Pitta. Warm the oil a bit and massage your scalp gently once or twice a week. Leave it on for about an hour or even overnight before washing your hair. It stimulates the scalp, improves circulation, and helps reduce dryness. You mentioned longtime dandruff issue, take neem oil or powder into account. Neem has great antifungal properties. A neem oil massage or adding a spoon of neem powder to the oil can be effective. But Neem's kinda potent, so maybe do a patch test first, see if its okay on your skin. And don’t overlook stress! It plays its tricks often. Simple breathing exercises or a short walk in the morning sun can improve circulation and alleviate stress, aiding hair growth. Wash your hair with a mild herbal shampoo, preferably something with Reetha or Shikakai. They cleanse without stripping natural oils. Rinsing your hair with Amla-infused water once a week might also nourish and fortify the strands, reducing hair fall. Consistency is key. Improvement may take a few weeks, so hang in there. If things don't look better, consider more elaborate personalized care. And, if you're seeing patches of hair loss, do consult with a healthcare provider.
