Hello Sujan, I can understand your concern about dandruff and hairfall at just 22 year of age but dont worry we are here to help you out😊
In Ayurveda, dandruff is called Darunaka, caused by dryness, excess scalp flakes, and fungal growth.
If untreated, it weakens hair roots and causes continuous shedding.
✅Why This Happens
1. Scalp Dryness in Winter – cold weather + hot water head baths increase Vata, causing itching & flakes. 2. Excess Oil & Sweat – , leading to sticky dandruff and fungal infection. 3. Improper Digestion (Agni) – excess junk, fried, or cold foods toxins (Ama) in blood - hair & skin issues. 4. Stress & Irregular sleep – aggravates hair fall
✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT
☑️INTERNAL SUPPORT 1 Groo 1-0-1 after food 2 Saribadhyasavam 30ml-0-30ml after food 3 Jeevamrutham 1 tsp at bed time follwed by warm water
☑️ EXTERNAL SCALP CARE
👉Anti-dandruff oils: Neem Taila or Mahabhringraj Taila (2–3 times a week, lukewarm).
Mix neem oil + coconut oil + lemon juice, apply for 30 mins before bath.
👉Medicated shampoos:
Use Ayurvedic powders like Shikakai + Reetha + Amla instead of harsh shampoos. If using a ready product – Kerala Ayurveda Dheedhi Shampoo or Kesh Kanti Anti-Dandruff (mild options).
Avoid daily chemical shampoos & hot water on scalp.
✅ HOME REMEDIES
👉Apply Aloe vera gel + neem paste on scalp once a week. Rinse scalp with fenugreek (methi) water or green tea – reduces itching & flaking. 👉Apply curd + lemon pack once in 10 days (balances pH, reduces flakes).
✅ DIET AND LIFESTYLE
❌Avoid excess curd at night, cheese, fried & sugary foods (increase dandruff).
✔️Eat fresh fruits, leafy greens, soaked almonds, walnuts, sesame seeds.
✔️Stay hydrated (at least 2–3L water daily).
✔️Sleep 7–8 hrs, avoid late nights.
Your dandruff is seasonal + scalp-related Ayurveda recommends: External: Neem/Bhringraj oil massage, herbal shampoo, weekly scalp packs. Internal: Medications for detox & hair strength. Lifestyle: Improve digestion, avoid oily foods, maintain scalp hygiene.
With regular care, you can control dandruff within 4–6 weeks and reduce hair fall gradually.
Wish you a good health😊

hello sujan debnath,
Your scalp becomes dry and irritated in winter, which causes dandruff, itching, and more hair fall. What you need is regular scalp nourishment with herbal oils and a mild Ayurvedic shampoo that controls flakes without damaging your roots.
Ayurvedic products you can use in India,
Bhringraj Taila (Kerala Ayurveda / Baidyanath / Dabur) – massage 2–3 times per week. Neelibhringadi Taila (Kerala Ayurveda / Kottakkal Arya Vaidya Sala) – very effective for dandruff and hair fall. Indulekha Bringha Oil – available everywhere, easy to apply with comb applicator. Kesh King Anti-Dandruff Oil & Shampoo – helps in dandruff control. Khadi Natural Neem & Aloe Vera Shampoo – mild herbal shampoo for regular use.
Use oil massage before washing (at least twice a week) and a gentle herbal shampoo. This will gradually reduce itching, dandruff, and hair fall.
Weekly Hair Care Routine Day 1 (Sunday evening) Warm Bhringraj Taila or Neelibhringadi Taila slightly.
Massage into scalp for 10–15 minutes. Leave for 30–60 minutes. Wash with Khadi Natural Neem & Aloe Vera Shampoo or Kesh King Anti-Dandruff Shampoo.
Day 3 (Tuesday evening) Apply Indulekha Bringha Oil with its comb applicator. Leave overnight if comfortable. Wash in the morning with herbal shampoo.
Day 5 (Thursday evening) Do a gentle scalp massage with Kesh King Oil. Leave for 1 hour. Wash with mild shampoo.
Day 7 (Saturday evening) Repeat Neelibhringadi Taila massage and wash as on Day 1.
Daily Care Comb hair gently, avoid scratching scalp. Do not wash with very hot water (use lukewarm). If itching is severe, apply neem oil diluted with coconut oil once in 10 days.
This routine balances scalp health, controls dandruff, and reduces hair fall naturally if followed consistently for 2–3 months.
warm regards , dr.karthika
For the heavy dandruff and hair fall issue you’re experiencing, Ayurveda suggests addressing the root cause, which is typically a dosha imbalance—often, an excess of Vata and Pitta. First, consider using natural oils. Opt for a hair oil that contains neem oil, brahmi, or bhringraj. Apply this oil at least twice weekly, gently massaging into the scalp to nourish and soothe dryness. Allow the oil to absorb for at least one to two hours before washing it out with a mild, herbal shampoo.
Choosing a shampoo with natural ingredients like shikakai, reetha, or even a small amount of amla can be quite beneficial. These ingredients help in reducing dandruff naturally and strengthen hair roots. Be sure to rinse your hair well to remove residue but avoid hot water, as this can further dry the scalp. Lukewarm water is advisable.
Additionally, maintaining a balanced diet rich in Omega-3 fatty acids (found in flaxseeds and chia seeds) and avoiding excessively spicy or oily foods can help manage Pitta and Vata. Hydration is key, so please ensure you’re drinking adequate water daily to help maintain bodily fluid balance.
Stress often exacerbates both dandruff and hair loss, so incorporating stress-reducing activities such as yoga or meditation into your daily routine can be highly beneficial. Also consider regular scalp cleaning and avoid excessive use of heat-based styling tools which can worsen your condition.
Remember, patience is crucial, as natural solutions may take time but tend to be gentler on your body. If the problem persists or worsens during the winter, it might be useful to consult a dermatologist as well to rule out underlying conditions.
🌿 Namaste Sujan, Your scalp problem – itching, flakes, and hair fall that worsen in winter – can be due to either simple dandruff (Darunaka) or Seborrheic Dermatitis. Both are related to Vata–Kapha imbalance in the scalp, along with weak digestion and impurities in blood. Ayurveda manages this by internal purification, dosha balance, and external scalp care.
Ayurvedic Treatment Plan
Internal Medicines
Aragvadhadi Kashaya – 2 teaspoonfuls twice daily with equal warm water.
Gandhaka Rasayana – 2 tablets twice daily after food.
Triphala powder – ½ teaspoon at bedtime with lukewarm water.
External Care
Dhurdhurpatradi Taila – Apply on scalp 2–3 times a week, leave for 1–2 hours, then wash.
Hair wash:
Rinse with Triphala decoction 2–3 times per week.
Use Lumina shampoo as a gentle cleanser when needed.
Lifestyle & Diet Advice
Avoid very hot water for head wash, as it increases dryness.
Reduce oily, fried, spicy, and junk foods which aggravate dandruff.
Include fresh fruits, leafy greens, ghee, and sesame in diet.
Sleep on time, avoid day sleep, and manage stress.
For long-term results and personalized adjustments, I still recommend you to consult a nearby Ayurvedic physician.
Kesha Kanti taila - hair oil Indulekha brings shampoo
Experiencing dandruff and hair fall, especially worsening with seasonal changes like winter, can be related to a dosha imbalance. According to Siddha-Ayurvedic principles, these symptoms are frequently linked with an imbalance in Vata and Pitta doshas. The dry and cool nature of winter aggravates Vata, leading to dry scalp, and an escalated Pitta can lead to inflammation and hair fall.
First, you might try an oil massage using a blend of sesame oil and coconut oil, warmed slightly before application. Gently massaging your scalp 2-3 times a week can help alleviate dryness and reduce dandruff. Let the oil stay on the scalp for at least an hour, then wash it off with a mild herbal shampoo.
In terms of cleansing, consider using a shampoo that contains neem or amla, as both are renowned for their anti-dandruff properties. Neem fights infection and amla strengthens hair from the roots.
For internal balance, consuming a diet that pacifies Vata and Pitta can be beneficial. This means avoiding overly spicy, oily, or dry foods and aiming for warm, moist, and nourishing meals. Include more sweet, sour, and salty tastes in your diet — in moderation.
To manage stress which often affects hair health, practice calming activities like yoga or meditation daily. Make sure you’re drinking enough water and getting at least 7-8 hours of sleep every night.
If the problem persists or worsens, consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized advice based on your specific body constitution and lifestyle might be helpful. They may recommend other specific herbal formulations like Bhringraj oil or Trifala for internal and external use.
