Jaidev i think you should try given Scalp Reset – Natural Antifungal + Anti-Inflammatory Care
* Neem oil + Tea Tree oil: Mix 2 tbsp neem oil + 4–5 drops tea tree oil + 1 tbsp coconut oil. Warm slightly and apply to scalp for 1 hour. Then wash.
🧴 Aloe vera gel (fresh or organic) – Apply overnight once a week to reduce itching, inflammation, and flaking.
2. Shampoo (Anti-fungal, Sulfate-free)
Use 2–3 times a week:
Ketoconazole 2% shampoo (e.g., Nizoral) – leave on scalp for 5–7 minutes before washing.
Alternate with:
Zinc pyrithione shampoo (e.g., Head & Shoulders Clinical Strength)
Avoid frequent switching or harsh shampoos with SLS, parabens, or alcohol.
3. Hair Thinning & Fall Support
Topical:
Use onion juice or redensyl-based serums 2–3x/week for hair regrowth.
Avoid hot oil directly on inflamed scalp.
Ayurvedic support:
Panchatikta ghrita guggul(2-0-2)- with warm water.
Arogyavrdhini vati (2-0-2)
Bhringraj churna 1gm twice a day
Aloevera juice - 15ml empty stomatch

Mix 200 ml juice of margosa (n∂ma) leaves in 200 ml of sesame oil and cook
on mild flame. When the juice burns and only oil is left out, take it to the flame
and filter on cooling. Apply it on the scalp, it helps in removing dandruff
Flowers of Suhågå (Tankana) - 05 grams (1 tea spoon)
Coconut oil - 05 ml (1 spoon)
Curd - 15 ml (3 teaspoons).
Lemon Juice - 05 ml (1 teaspoon)
Mix all and apply on hair. Wash hair after one hour.

Addressing dandruff requires a holistic approach that examines imbalances in your body's internal environment. From an Ayurvedic perspective, dandruff could be a sign of Vata and Pitta dosha imbalances. These doshas when aggravated can lead to dryness and heat, reflecting in the scalp health. Let's delve into some solutions that could help you.
Firstly, focus on your diet as it directly influences the balance of doshas. Incorporate foods that pacify Vata and Pitta. Favor fresh fruits and vegetables, they support hydration, which is vital in managing dryness. Include healthy fats like ghee and olive oil in your diet, which can nourish and moisturize your scalp from within.
Regular Oil Massage: Use coconut oil or sesame oil to massage your scalp gently before washing your hair. These oils are grounding and calming, helping to reduce dryness. Try this 2-3 times a week for about 20-30 minutes before bathing.
Herbal Hair Mask: You can use aloe vera gel mixed with neem powder. Aloe vera is soothing and moisturizing, while neem acts as a natural antiseptic. Apply this mixture to your scalp and leave it for 30 minutes before rinsing.
Stress Management: Stress can aggravate the condition, so cultivating relaxation through practices like yoga and meditation can be beneficial. These practices help balance Vata dosha and enhance mental calmness.
Also, ensure you manage digestive health, as a strong digestive fire (agni) is crucial in ensuring the nutrients reach hair tissues (dhatus).
While these suggestions may help, if dandruff persists or worsens, it'd be wise to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for a personalized assessment. If hair thinning and shedding continue, you might want to see a dermatologist as this can indicate more serious issues needing expert care.
