Addressing these concerns involves balancing your body’s doshas, especially since oily scalp, acne, and hair fall often relate to an imbalance of the Pitta and sometimes the Kapha dosha. The key is to cleanse, balance, and nourish your system holistically.
First, focus on your diet and lifestyle. Avoid spicy, oily, and fermented foods as they can aggravate Pitta. Include cooling foods like cucumber, watermelon, and leafy greens in your diet. Stay hydrated with plenty of water and herbal teas like mint or coriander.
For topical solutions, a simple home remedy for acne is to apply a paste of sandalwood and rose water to the affected areas. This can be soothing for pimples and reduce inflammation. Do this once a day after gently cleansing your skin with a mild herbal cleanser containing turmeric or neem.
For your scalp, use shampoos formulated with Ayurvedic ingredients like neem or reetha to maintain scalp health without stripping natural oils. Reetha (soapnut) is an excellent natural cleanser. Post-wash, consider a hair rinse with diluted apple cider vinegar to balance scalp pH.
Internally, a regular intake of Triphala powder (1 teaspoon at night with warm water) can help detoxify and improve digestion, supporting skin health. This can help clear up your skin over time by addressing potential digestive imbalances.
For dry and flaky skin, massage with a mixture of sesame oil and a few drops of lavender essential oil before bath can nurture your skin. Use cold water to rinse off.
Consider checking with a professional if these issues persist, as there might be more complex imbalances or deficiencies in your system. It’s crucial to address these views holistically and regularly consult with a healthcare provider for persistent problems.
