Addressing dandruff, hair fall, and skin conditions involves understanding your unique prakriti (constitution) and the imbalances at play. Dandruff often results from an aggravated Vata and Pitta, affecting the scalp’s health, leading to dryness and irritation. Begin by implementing remedies that pacify these doshas and nourish the Dhatus (body tissues).
For dandruff, prepare a mixture of neem powder and curd. Apply this paste to your scalp once a week and leave it for 20-30 minutes before washing it off with lukewarm water. Neem helps reduce microbial activity and curd moisturizes the scalp.
Incorporate oils like bhringraj or amla oil, massaging the scalp gently a couple of times a week to strengthen the roots and prevent hair fall. These oils balance Vata and Pitta while nourishing the scalp. Warm the oil slightly before application for better absorption.
Diet is critical; include more hydrating and cooling foods such as cucumber, celery, and aloe vera juice. Minimize spicy, oily, and sour foods that could aggravate your condition.
For facial skin patches, an application of aloe vera gel mixed with turmeric can help soothe inflammation and irritation. Apply it to the patches in a thin layer evening and rinse off in the morning.
Focus on enhancing your Agni (digestive fire) by sipping warm water throughout the day and consuming lighter meals. Trikatu churna, a traditional formulation, can be used to bolster digestive function and should be taken under guidance.
Maintain a regular sleep pattern to allow the body’s systems to reset and heal effectively.
Address each aspect discussed consistently, they work together to heal from inside out. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek out a qualified practitioner in person your situation may need professional monitoring.
