Switching to reetha and bhringraj powder for hair washing can be an effective approach. Dandruff, often rooted in Pitta and Kapha imbalances, may be aggravated by lifestyle, diet, or even seasonal changes, like the dry and cold air of winter. Here’s what you can do to address it effectively:

1. Herbal Wash: Continue with your reetha and bhringraj mix for cleansing. Ensure you soak the mixture in warm water overnight, then use the strained liquid to wash your scalp gently. This ensures the natural saponins in reetha effectively cleanse without stripping the natural oils excessively.

2. Oil Massage: Regularly massaging your scalp with warm coconut oil infused with neem leaves or tea tree oil will help balance the scalp, reduce itchiness, and nourish the roots. Neem is particularly good for its antifungal properties. Massage your scalp for about 15 minutes, leave it for at least an hour, then wash it off.

3. Dietary Adjustments: Incorporate more hydrating and pitta-pacifying foods like cucumbers, pears, and melons. Avoid excessive spicy, oily, or junk foods, as they can exacerbate Pitta. Also, drink plenty of water to keep the body and scalp hydrated from the inside.

4. Lifestyle Practices: Stress can worsen dandruff, so include practices like yoga or meditation in your routine to calm your mind and reduce pitta-related disturbance. Ensure to get ample rest and avoid staying up late, as proper sleep is crucial for balancing body and mind.

5. Follow Routine: Stay consistent with this regimen and observe changes over a few weeks. Avoid frequent changes in hair care products, as they can disrupt the natural balance of your scalp. Also, don’t use hot water for hair washes, as it can worsen dryness and flakiness.

If your condition doesn’t improve or worsens, consider consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner. They might recommend personalized treatments or further dietary modifications tailored to your specific prakriti and doshic imbalance.
