Your symptoms suggest a Pitta imbalance (excess heat and oiliness) along with Ama (toxins) accumulation in the body due to weak digestion. This leads to: Overactive sebaceous glands (causing scalp acne and oily scalp) Inflammation and low immunity General weakness (due to Vata disturbance and low Ojas, your vital energy) WHAT CAN BE DONE? Sarivadyasava – 15 ml with water twice daily after meals Gandhak Rasayan – 1 tablet twice daily Optional: Chyawanprash – 1 tsp daily to build strength and immunity Apply Neem oil or Jatyadi oil 2–3 times/week (leave for 30 mins before washing) Use a gentle Ayurvedic shampoo with Neem, Tea Tree, or Aloe Vera ✅ Dos Eat freshly cooked, warm, easy-to-digest meals (like khichdi, steamed veggies) Include bitter and cooling foods: Amla, coriander, cucumber, bottle gourd Drink coriander/fennel seed water daily to reduce heat Practice gentle yoga and deep breathing to reduce inflammation and stress Maintain regular sleep and meal timings ❌ Don’ts Avoid oily, spicy, fried, and processed foods Avoid excessive screen time, late nights, and mental stress Do not scratch or pick at scalp acne Avoid hot water for head baths—use lukewarm water only Reduce caffeine, alcohol, and very sour foods (like vinegar, pickles) FOLLOW UP IN A MONTH. GOOD LUCK

It sounds like you’re dealing with a combination of scalp issues and systemic inflammation. In Ayurveda, these symptoms often relate to an imbalance in the Pitta dosha and possibly Kapha too. Pitta governs heat, agni (digestive fire), and metabolism, while Kapha is about structure and fluid balance. To help balance these, we can start with both internal and external approaches. For the oily scalp and acne, consider preparing a herbal hair rinse. Boil neem leaves with water, let it cool down, and use this as a final rinse after washing your hair. Neem is known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, can help reduce scalp acne and control oiliness. Adding a few drops of tea tree oil to your shampoo could also be beneficial. Internally, managing inflammation and overall Pitta imbalance might be key. You could incorporate more cooling foods into your diet such as cucumber, watermelon, and coconut water. Avoid spicy, sour and fermented foods as these can aggravate Pitta. Trikut (a blend of equal parts of black pepper, long pepper, and ginger) in small quantities can be beneficial to boost metabolism without overheating. Increasing your intake of fresh, seasonal fruits and vegetables can help cleanse the body; Ayurveda recommends freshly cooked meals with minimal oil and spices. Also, practice mindfulness in your eating habits - eating slowly and chewing thoroughly aids digestion and reduces stress on body systems. Herbal formulations like Manjishtha (Rubia cordifolia) may help support healthy skin from within. Please consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner to get the proper dosage which is suitable for your condition, as individual needs can vary. Regarding your feelings of body inflammation and weakness, ensure you're getting adequate rest and practicing relaxation techniques like pranayama or yoga which can help calm the mind and detoxify the system. Regular exercise, predominantly Kapha-pacifying activities like brisk walking or cycling, can help invigorate without causing excess heat. Finally, keeping hydrated is vital. Sipping on warm water throughout the day can help flush toxins and support healthy digestive processes. While these suggestions are grounded in Ayurvedic principles, it’s crucial to consult with a qualified healthcare provider for any tailored treatment plan, especially if there's persistent or severe symptoms.
