Aapke hair loss aur dandruff ke liye kuch samajhdhari avshyak hai, dandruff ke karan hair fall hota hai, jo ki scalp me dryness aur itchiness se sambandhit hai. Aisa lagta hai ki dahi ka upay aapke liye kuch samay tak beneficial raha, lekin iska sthayi samadhan nahi ho paya. Ayurveda ke anusar, ye problem kapha aur vata dosha ke imbalance ki wajah se ho sakti hai.
Sabse pehle, aapko apne khane me thodi si savdhani baratni hogi. Khane me garm aur kabji banne wali cheezein jaise ki tila (sesame seeds) aur ingwer ka istemal karein. Saffron and honey se bana kheer bhi kapha ko balance karne me madadgar ho sakta hai. Passive foods, deep fried foods, aur diary prodhucts se parhej karna thik rahega.
Narial tel ya bhringraj tel se sir pe hafta me do bar massage karein, specially sone se pehle. Yeh tel scalp ko moisturize karega aur blood circulation enhance karega. Khatna or very tight hairstyles jo tress pe stress dala rahe ho, unse doori banayein.
Neem patto ka paste ya neem ka oil bhi behtarin hai dandruff ke liye. Neem ke patto ko pani me ubal kar, isse garam garam, baal dho lein. Yeh antibacterial properties rakhta hai aur scalp se gundhgi hata dega, dandruff bhi kam hoga.
Yoga aur pranayam ko apne routine me shamil karein, jisse stress reduce hoga aur dushta dosha sanajon me madad milega. Tratak kriya aur kapalbhati ki practice kar sakte hain.
Agar samasya thodi zyada serious hai toh kis Ayurvedic chikitsak ke saath paramarsh lena behatar hoga kyunki kuch conditions personal upchar ya nirikshan ka bhi maang karti hain. Regular follow-ups aur daily hair care zaruri hai, yaadi hair fall bohot increase ho raha hai, tab doctor dekh lena adhika upayukt hoga.

Dealing with persistent dandruff leading to hair loss can be frustrating, but we can manage it more effectively by looking at the root causes through a Siddha-Ayurvedic perspective. Dandruff is often linked with an imbalance in the Pitta and Kapha doshas, and these imbalances can lead to inflammation and excessive oiliness on the scalp. Here are some targeted steps to help mitigate this issue:
1. Dietary Adjustments: Reduce intake of spicy, oily, and excessively acidic foods, as these can aggravate Pitta. Include cooling, Pitta-pacifying foods like cucumbers, melons, and leafy greens. Drink plenty of water infused with a few coriander seeds to support detoxification.
2. Herbal Oil Massage: Use an herbal oil like neem, amla, or bhringraj oil. Warm the oil slightly and massage gently onto your scalp twice a week, which helps balance scalp oils and promote healthy circulation. Leave it on for about 30-40 minutes before washing.
3. Natural Hair Masks: Continue using dahi (yogurt) as it soothes the scalp. You could also try mixing it with methi (fenugreek) powder. Apply these once a week, leaving it on for 20 minutes before rinsing thoroughly.
4. Herbal Rinse: Use a decoction made from neem leaves or reetha (soapnut) as your final rinse after shampooing. These have natural antifungal properties.
5. Relaxation and Stress Management: Stress can exacerbate scalp issues by affecting doshas. Incorporate practices like yoga or meditation to help maintain a state of mental and physical balance.
6. Regular Cleansing: Ensuring your scalp remains clean without stripping natural oils is essential. You may want to use a mild, nourishing herbal shampoo twice a week that does not dry out your scalp.
Addressing internal and lifestyle factors alongside external treatments can help break the cycle of dandruff and hair loss. If these natural approaches don’t seem to help or if symptoms worsen, consulting with a healthcare provider is advised to rule out any underlying conditions.
