Scalp psoriasis can indeed be quite troublesome, and I’m sorry to hear you’re losing hair because of it. The key here is to manage the underlying inflammation and to promote scalp health through Ayurveda, which can help in the process of hair regrowth as well. Psoriasis is often associated with an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, which means we’re looking at soothing the heat and inflammation.

First, consider using a medicated oil, like Neem oil or coconut oil infused with turmeric, which has anti-inflammatory properties. Gently massage the oil onto your scalp, doing this 2-3 times per week for about 20-30 minutes at a time. This calming ritual can help reduce inflammation and itching.

In terms of your diet, it’s crucial to avoid foods that aggravate Pitta – such as excessively spicy, sour, or salty foods. Cooling foods like cucumber, melon, and coconut water are beneficial. Drinking a tea made with coriander seeds or fennel can also help to cool the system.

Stress is another factor that can exacerbate psoriasis, so integrating practices like meditation or yoga into your daily routine can have a positive impact on your condition. Even just 10-15 minutes a day can make a difference.

Triphala, an Ayurvedic herbal preparation, can be helpful in maintaining digestive health and supporting detoxification, which is vital for clearing skin issues. Take half to one teaspoon of Triphala powder in a glass of warm water before bed.

Remember to clean your scalp gently; using a mild herbal shampoo can prevent further irritation. Avoid hot water for washing your hair, as it can aggravate Pitta dosha.

Each individual’s situation is unique, so if home remedies aren’t offering enough relief, it might be time to see an Ayurvedic practitioner who can assess your description in more detail and recommend personalized treatments.

If you notice severe scaling, inflammation or suspect an infection, it’s important to consult a dermatologist. Mixing these approaches can offer holistic help to tackle scalp psoriasis effectively.
