Addressing scalp conditions like dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and psoriasis through Ayurveda involves understanding the root causes, typically connected to imbalances in doshas, especially Pitta dosha along with some Kapha. These conditions often result from accumulated heat (Pitta), which can inflame the skin and produce the scaling and flakes you're experiencing. First, let's start with your daily routine. Keeping your scalp clean is essential, but not over-cleansed. Use a gentle, natural herbal shampoo containing Neem or Aloe Vera, known for their cooling and anti-inflammatory properties. Massage it into your scalp gently and rinse thoroughly, but don't overdo it as it can strip natural oils. Oil application is another fundamental aspect. Choose a cooling oil, like coconut oil, with a few drops of Neem oil or Amla, to provide nourishment while calming the scalp. Warm the oil slightly, apply, and leave it for about an hour before washing. This can be done 2-3 times a week, depending on scalp condition. Be aware, heavy oils might not be suitable if the scalp is overly oily by nature. Your diet plays a crucial role as well, aim to reduce Pitta-aggravating food. Try avoiding spicy, sour, and fried foods since they contribute to heat. Instead, consume more bitter and astringent kinds like leafy greens, gourds like bitter melon, and pomegranates. Hydration with water and cooling beverages like buttermilk or coconut water is also highly beneficial. Herbal remedies such as drinking herbal teas made with chamomile or licorice can help as they have calming effects on the body. If chronic, certain formulations like Khadirarishta may be recommended, but it demands prescription upon consulting a knowledgeable ayurvedic practitioner. Additionally, stress management is often overlooked but crucial - practices such as daily meditation or gentle yoga can help reduce overall inflammation and stress levels, contributing to a healthier scalp. Finally, it’s important to consult with an Ayurvedic physician for personalized advice, considering potential allergies or reactions. Severe or persisting symptoms, especially with psoriasis, may require a more comprehensive treatment plan, or in some cases, conventional medical treatments too. Prioritize your safety and well-being by seeking medical advice if symptoms do not improve or worsen.
