Hello varsha shetty , I understand how frustrating it can be to live with scalp psoriasis for so long, especially when itching is constant and treatments haven’t helped. Psoriasis is a condition where your skin’s natural renewal process speeds up, causing scaling, redness, and intense itchiness. Long-term irritation also affects your hair and can lower scalp health. Vitamin D and B12 deficiency can make the skin more sensitive and slow healing, so correcting these is important alongside treatment.
treatment plan :
1. Ama Pachana (Digestive support, first 3–5 days) • Triphala Churna: 3 g with warm water at night
2. Internal Medications (after Ama Pachana, 20–30 days) • Khadiradi Vati: 2 tablets twice daily after meals • Mahatiktak Ghrita: 5–10 ml with warm water or milk at night • Dhatri Rasayana: 1 tablet twice daily for skin health and immunity
3. External Therapy (Scalp application) • Sitaram Malathyadi Keram: Apply directly on affected scalp once or twice daily, leave for 30–45 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water • Herbal oil massage (Ksheerabala Tailam or Mahamasha Tailam) 2–3 times a week
Diet Recommendations: • Avoid spicy, oily, fried, and fermented foods • Eat fresh fruits, cooked vegetables, whole grains • Include milk, ghee, and nuts for skin nourishment • Drink plenty of warm water
Investigations & Supportive Measures: • Correct Vitamin D and B12 deficiency (supplement as guided by your doctor) • Monitor skin infection or secondary infection if any
Lifestyle & Routine: • Avoid scratching; keep nails short • Gentle hair care; no harsh shampoos • Daily stress management through yoga or deep breathing
Do’s & Don’ts: • Do follow medicine timings consistently • Avoid processed and junk food • Stay hydrated • Maintain regular sleep • Use gentle oils for scalp massage, avoid chemical products • Avoid direct sun or extreme heat on scalp
Let me know after , • Review progress after 20–30 days • Adjust treatment based on response • Track scalp itching, redness, and scaling
With consistent treatment and care, Ayurveda can help reduce scalp inflammation, improve skin health, and gradually decrease itching and scaling. Patience is important as improvement may take weeks, but results are sustainable.
Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

Headaches can often be tied to dosha imbalances. Vata is often the cause of throbbing headaches, while Pitta tends toward intense pain accompanied by heat or irritability. Begin by understanding which dosha might be out of balance.
Vata-type headaches benefit from warmth and grounding. Apply warm sesame oil to your scalp and gently massage to promote relaxation and circulation. followed by a warm, moist towel. Drinking warm beverages like ginger tea, helps soothe the vata dosha. Ensure regularity in sleep and meals as irregular routines often aggravate Vata.
For Pitta-related headaches, cooling measures are more effective. Coriander seed tea can be soothing. To prepare, boil a spoon of seeds in water, cool it slightly before drinking. An application of sandalwood paste on the forehead can also draw out excess heat. Practicing sheetali pranayama, a cooling breathing technique, aids in calming pitta.
Fitz your routine for Kapha-based headaches, which often feel heavy or congested, using stimulating activities. A brisk walk in fresh air might relieve heaviness. Light meals wit plenty of fresh vegetables and avoiding dairy can help reduce Kapha buildup. Utilize spices like cumin and turmeric in food to aid digestion.
General practices include incorporating meditation or yoga to manage stress—a common trigger for headaches. Hydration is crucial, as dehydration exacerbates headache symptoms. Akso, monitor your diet, avoiding processed foods or excessive caffeine, as they might be triggers.
If your headaches persist or intensify, consult a healthcare professional. Ayurveda offers supportive strategies but not substitutes for necessary medical intervention in serious scenarios. Effective solutions will often involve a combination of practices tailored to your individual needs.

For a persistent headache, it’s important first to assess the underlying cause according to Siddha-Ayurvedic principles. Headache could be due to imbalances in the Vata or Pitta doshas often linked with stress, lack of sleep, poor digestion or dehydration. Ensuring you’re hydrated is critical; sip warm water throughout the day. Now, try to ease your digestion by sticking to warm, cooked foods and avoid raw or excessively cold foods, which might aggravate Vata.
Apply a gentle massage to your forehead using Brahmi or Coconut oil. This practice calms Vata, soothing the nervous system and promoting relaxation. Inhale the steam from boiling water with a few drops of eucalyptus oil, gently relieving sinus pressure that might contribute to the headache.
Consider drinking herbal tea made from ginger and turmeric. Chop a small piece of fresh ginger, add it to boiling water with a pinch of turmeric, and let it steep for a few minutes. This concoction can aid digestion and relieve inflammation, addressing Pitta imbalances.
It’s vital to ensure you have consistent sleep. Go to bed and wake up at the same times each day, and avoid screen exposure at least one hour before sleep.
If headaches persist despite these approaches, seek professional medical evaluation. This could identify if there’s a more serious underlying issue requiring attention beyond home approaches. Always check if symptoms involve severe pain, vision alterations, or neurological changes, needing prompt care.
