HELLO RAJESH,
Tinea capitis îs a fungal infection of the scalp, caused by dermatophytes like Trichophyton or Microsporum species, symptoms include -itching -scaly patches -hairfall/bald spots -dandruff- like flaking or oozing -dead skin
It often recurs if- -fungi survive pillows, combs, towels -oiling is done while infection is active -immunity or gut flora is weak
AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING scalp fungi infections are kaphaja- kasha with involvement if pitta and rakta, and bahudosha dushti. It is a type of dadru or even charmakeela when associated with hairfall
DOSHAS INVOLVED KAPHA- moisture, fungus thrives in it. PITTA- inflammation, redness, burning, itching RAKTA DUSHTI - blood impurity-chronicity MANDAGNI/ AMA- weak digestion, toxin accumulation
TREATMENT GOAL -eradicate fungal growth -detoxify blood and skin -strengthen immunity and gut -repair scalp and hair follices -prevent recurrence -cleanse channels, improve digestion/metabolism, and nourish tissue for permanent relief.
Many ayurvedic medicines like Arogyavardhini vati, Panchnimb churnna, Manjistha, amalaki rasayana did not respond well, we need a stronger, deeper, and perhaps more integrative approach using more potent formulations, while also shifting the focus from just skin purification to systemic detox, gut healing and immune modulation.
1) SARIVADYASAVA- 20 ml twice daily with equal water after meals duration= 3 months =works powerfully in kapha pitta blood disorders, skin allergies and auto immune pattern skin diseases. it helps with detoxification and pacifies chronic inflammation
2)MAHA MANNJISTHADI KASHAYA- 15 ml + equal water twice daily before meals DURATION= 2-3 months =much stronger than plain manjishta churna. it acts on raktavaha srotas, helps cleanse deep inflammatory toxins and support skin rejuvination.
3)HARIDRA KHANDAM- 1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime DURATION= 1-2 months =strong immunomodulatory and blood purifier. contains turmeric, which is anti fungal ,but combined with sugar, ghee, and pippali for better digestion and systemic absorption
4)SHUDDHA TUVARAKA CAPSULE- 1 cap once daily in morning =classical internal use for kushta . tuvaraka is extremely anti fungal used in leprosy and chronic infections DURATION- 15 days
AUSHADI PROCESSED AYURVEDIC PROBIOTICS AND GUT REPAIR
research supports the idea that fungal infections worsens with gut dysbiosis
-KUTAJARISHTA- 20 ml + equal water twice daily =for loose stools or gut inflammation
-TAKRA SIDDHA HAIRTAKI- 1 tsp hairtaki mixed with medicated buttermilk daily
-PANCHAMRUT PARPATI- 1 tab once daily This systemic approach repairs digestive fire, improves gut flora , reduces systemic inflammation that supports fungal growth
ONCE INFECTION IS ACTIVELY REDUCED, START TAKING -CHYAWANPRASHA(sugar free)- 1 tsp daily in morning for rebuilding skin tissue and hair
EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS
1)TUVARAKA TAILA(CHAULMOOGRA OIL) -mix with equal coconut oil, apply 1 hour before bath on patches =very strong anti fungal and keratolytic. traditionally used in kushta and resistant skin conditions
2)KARANJADI TAILA -used specifically for dadru, itching, and fungal like skin conditions apply 3 times/week
3)ELADI KERAM/ DHURDHURAPATRADI TAILA -used for itching+scaling+discoloration
LOCAL APPLICATION- neem powder+aloe vera gel= apply twice/week =reduces itching, kills fungus
Triphala+bakuchi paste= strong anti fungal-patch test first
ALOE VERA juice daily 15ml internal cooling, improves gut and skin =mild detox and skin healing
DIET PLAN -bitter vegetables- neem, Karel, methi -bottle gourd, ridge gourd, ash gourd -warm water with turmeric daily -moong dal , khichdi, green leafy veggies- -old rice, barley, millet -cows ghee in small quantity
AVOID -dairy+salt together -curd, cheese, panner -deep fired and junk food -excess sugar, sweets -non veg -cold stale and fermented food -heavy late night meals -wheat based junks- cookies, bread with preservatives
LIFESTYLE DO’S -bathe with neem leaf water once or twice weekly -change pillow cases and towels daily -wash clothes and bedding in hot water with detail or antispetic -get 15 mins sunlight on scalp daily -practice deep breathing and light exercise to reduce stress -maintain a regular sleep cycle(10pm-6am)
AVOID -oiling when scalp is infected sleeping with wet/oily hair -sharing combs, hats, towels -stying in damp environment -wearing tight caps or synthetic head coverings for long hours
TIMELINE FOR RECOVERY
1-2 WEEK= reduced itching, mild drying of lesion
4-6 WEEK= noticeable reduction In scaling and hairfall
8-12 WEEK= reappearance of healthy scalp skin, less recurrance
3-6 WEEK = stable remission, improved immunity, new hair growth
Chronic cases often take time. the fungus is deep rooted and recurs immunity and hygiene are addressed
Avoid all corticosteroid and anti fungal creams with steroids- they give temporary relief but worsen long term
continue treatment for at least 6 months even if symptoms reduce in 1-2 months
BE CONSISTENT
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL
THANK YOU

If you have any questions u can ask me.I will Answer u to level of your satisfaction.U have Text Option here.
The persistence of a fungal infection, especially on the scalp, can indeed be frustrating. From an Ayurvedic perspective, fungal infections are often linked to an imbalance of the pitta and kapha doshas, and sometimes, poor digestion and accumulation of toxins (ama) can contribute to the problem. Each individual response to Ayurvedic treatments can vary significantly, depending on your unique prakriti, and imbalances.
The herbal remedies you’re using - Saptamrit Lauh, Panchnimb, Manjistha, Amalaki, and Arogyavardhini Vati - are typically well-suited for addressing skin conditions and purifying blood. However, seeing tangible results may take more time. Ayurveda works gradually by addressing the root cause rather than just symptoms, and this healing process could take from several weeks to months. It’s essential to consistently use these medications and closely follow your practitioner’s dosing instructions.
Ensure that your diet aids in maintaining a balance of pitta. Avoid spicy, oily foods and sour products, and try to incorporate cooling foods such as cucumber, melon, and coconut water. Turmeric and neem (Azadirachta indica) are known for their strong antifungal and detoxifying properties, consider discussing their incorporation into your diet with your practitioner.
Good hygiene practices are crucial too. Wash your hair and scalp regularly with mild, natural shampoos. Keep your scalp dry and clean to prevent fungal growth, and avoid sharing personal items like brushes or caps. Sometimes, a specific compress of neem leaf paste applied to the scalp might help manage symptoms more effectively.
Ensure a strong digestive fire (agni) by eating ginger or taking trikatu churna (a herbal blend) to enhance digestion, which can help in flushing out toxins. Eliminating ama could be crucial here; so a gentle detox under professional guidance might be beneficial.
Should symptoms persist or worsen, consulting your practitioner again – or even seeking a second opinion – might provide further tailored insights. If you ever feel the condition is deteriorating, don’t hesitate to seek immediate medical attention, as prompt care is always crucial when necessary.
