Your symptoms of dull skin, dry hair, and possible nutrient absorption issues suggest an imbalance in digestion (Agni) and aggravated Vata dosha. Sinus issues and allergies may further contribute. Here’s a simplified Ayurvedic approach:
Ayurvedic Remedies
Enhance Digestion:
Take Triphala Churna (1/2 tsp) with warm water before bed to support digestion.
Have 1 tsp of ginger juice with a pinch of black salt before meals to boost Agni (digestive fire).
Abhyanga (Oil Massage):
Massage your body with warm Sesame Oil twice a week. It helps nourish the skin and hair, improving texture and glow.
Hair and Skin Health:
Use Bhringraj Oil for scalp massage 2-3 times weekly for hair strength.
Drink a mix of Amla juice and Aloe Vera juice (1 tbsp each) in warm water daily to enhance skin glow.
Dietary Tips
Eat Warm, Easy-to-Digest Foods:
Include ghee, soaked almonds, and sesame seeds.
Avoid raw, cold, and processed foods that may worsen Vata imbalance.
Hydration:
Drink herbal teas like Cumin-Coriander-Fennel (CCF) tea for better digestion and reduced bloating.
Sinus and Allergy Care
Steam Inhalation:
Inhale steam with a few drops of eucalyptus oil for sinus relief.
Jala Neti (Optional):
If comfortable, try Jala Neti under guidance to clear nasal passages.
Lifestyle
Practice Pranayama like Anulom Vilom for stress relief and improved oxygen flow.
Maintain a consistent routine for better body balance.
If symptoms persist, consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for a personalized herbal plan.

It sounds like you're dealing with some classic vata dosha imbalances, leading to that dryness and lack of glow in the skin and hair. Sometimes, even when we're eating healthy, our agni, or digestive fire, might not be at its best, making it harder for the body to absorb nutrients.
Let’s talk about food first. Have you tried including more healthy fats? Ghee is like gold in Ayurveda. Try adding a spoonful of warm ghee to your meals, it helps nourishment and supports absorption. Cook with sesame oil, too, it’s known for its moisturizing properties. And for your diet, focusing on warm, cooked foods can help—I know salads are tempting, but they may aggravate vata. Think hearty stews, soups, or khichdi.
Your hair could benefit too from regular oiling. Use warm coconut or almond oil about twice a week. Massage it into your scalp and let it sit for an hour before washing. It’s super grounding and nourishing.
Hydration is also key. Drinking warm water throughout the day can help keep things moving smoothly digestion-wise and helps hydrate from the inside out. Tea made with ginger and fennel might also stoke that digestive fire, aiding in nutrient absorption.
Lifestyle-wise, keep stress in check, yeah? Stress can be a big trigger for vata issues. Consider adopting a daily practice of meditation or pranayama, like nadi shodhana or alternate nostril breathing. It’s calming for the mind and soothing for the system.
Exercise can be grounding as well. Try gentle yoga or swimming instead of high-intensity workouts, which may dry you out more.
And don't forget sleep—going to bed by 10pm can help keep vata in balance. The body heals and rejuvenates during solid rest.
But keep an eye on your symptoms. If things don't improve, you might want to see a health professional. Ayurveda takes time and patience, so hang in there. Remember, every body is different, and what works for someone else might need tweaking for you.
