For resolving dandruff and premature greying, focus on both external and internal remedies. Dandruff often worsens with Vata and Pitta imbalance, which is why it intensifies in winter. Use neem oil or bringaraj oil, warmed slightly, and apply to the scalp thrice a week. Leave overnight, then wash with a mild herbal shampoo. Tulsi extract or oil can reduce dandruff; massage it gently before wash. Curry leaves boiled in coconut oil also offer benefit for hair greying; let it cool, strain, and apply weekly.
Your knee pain suggests some Vata imbalance affecting the asthi dhatu (bone tissue). Avoid sitting for long periods in positions that strain the knee; support with cushion or avoid squatting until the pain reduces. Ashwagandha powder mixed with warm milk can be consumed at night—it helps strengthen bones and can alleviate pain. Since your serum calcium is on lower side, calcium-rich foods like sesame seeds, almonds, and leafy greens can balance deficiencies.
Given issues with stool previously, maintaining regular eating times without skipping meals supports Agni and balances Vata. Consuming fresh fruits and vegetables ensures smooth digestion and regular bowel movements. Triphala churna before bedtime helps if ever noticing digestion irregularity; it’’s gentle and supports gut health without dependency.
Chyawanprash daily is beneficial for your constitution and lifestyle. It enhances immunity and strength. Amrutanjan or Organic India is reputed for less additives and more authentic ingredients, but any trusted local product made in smaller batches could be equally effective. Its recommended to take it with warm milk or water. Aim to maintain your strong Agni through regular meals, hydrating, movement and adequate rest.
