Reduce itching , dandruff and hairfall - #30878
Lately, I’ve been struggling with a combination of frustrating scalp issues that seem to be getting worse over time. My hair has started to fall out more than usual, and every time I brush or wash it, I notice an alarming amount of strands coming loose. This constant hair fall has left me worried about thinning and overall hair health. Along with the hair loss, I’m also experiencing a persistent itchiness on my scalp. It feels irritated throughout the day, and scratching only makes it worse, sometimes even leaving the skin feeling sore. The itching is uncomfortable, distracting, and has started to interfere with my confidence in public settings. On top of that, I’m also dealing with dandruff. The visible flakes are embarrassing and hard to manage, especially when they fall onto clothing. It feels like no matter how much I wash my hair, the flakes come back quickly, making the problem seem never-ending. All of these issues—hair fall, constant itching, and dandruff—are making me concerned about both the health of my scalp and the future of my hair. I’m looking for practical, effective solutions that can actually help reduce these problems.

The combination of hair fall, itchiness, and dandruff you are experiencing can be tied to an imbalance in dosha, primarily Pitta and Vata, that affects the scalp. In Ayurveda, these imbalances can often be addressed through personalized lifestyle and dietary changes, as well as specific treatments for the hair and scalp.
First, for hair fall and strengthening roots, applying nourishing hair oil is key. Consider using Bhringraj or Amla oil. Warm the oil slightly and gently massage it into the scalp two to three times a week — this promotes blood circulation and nourishment to the hair follicles. Leave it on overnight for deeper penetration if possible, protecting your pillow with a towel or cloth. Wash in the morning using a mild, Ayurvedic shampoo that is free of harsh chemicals, focusing on rinsing thoroughly to minimize any residue that might contribute to dandruff.
For reducing dandruff, maintaining a balanced diet is also important. Favor a diet that pacifies Pitta such as consuming cool, soothing foods — think coconut, cucumber, and leafy greens while avoiding overly spicy, oily, or fermented foods. Consuming at least two liters of water daily assists in keeping the body (and scalp) hydrated.
To address the itching, try a herbal paste with Neem and Tulsi mixed with water, applied directly to the scalp. Leave it on for 20-30 minutes before washing. The antimicrobial properties of both plants can help alleviate itching and reduce dandruff.
Beyond these specific treatments, consider a holistic lifestyle that boosts overall well-being. Sufficient sleep, practicing yoga or meditation to manage stress, and protecting hair from excessive heat and harsh environmental factors can help maintain scalp health.
It’s important to continue monitoring symptoms, and if they persists despite these methods, consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner or dermatologist could provide additional insights into underlying causes.
