Hello I completely understand your concern. Let’s address both — your husband’s acid reflux and your granddaughter’s dandruff — with simple, safe, and effective Ayurvedic approaches that can be followed at home.

✅ HUSBAND ‘S ACID REFLUX

✅ AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

✅ INTERNAL MEDICATION (for 6–8 weeks)

1. Avipattikar Churna – 1 tsp with lukewarm water before meals twice daily. (Neutralizes acidity, improves digestion, and cools the stomach.)

2. Kamdudha Ras (Plain) – 1 tablet twice daily with cold milk or water. ( Excellent for calming Pitta and reducing burning sensations.)

3. Yashtimadhu Churna – ½ tsp mixed in warm milk at bedtime. ( Coats the stomach lining and promotes healing.)

4. Amalaki Rasayana – 1 tsp in the morning on an empty stomach. ( Restores digestion and prevents acid recurrence.)

✅HOME REMEDIES

Cold Milk with Ghee- Take ½ cup cold milk + 1 tsp cow ghee before bed for soothing effect.

Jeera Water- Boil 1 tsp cumin seeds in 1 glass water, cool and sip after meals.

Aloe Vera Juice- 20 ml in ½ cup water on an empty stomach every morning reduces internal heat.

Licorice Tea- Boil 1 tsp Yashtimadhu in 1 cup water and drink once daily.

✅DIET AND LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION

✅Include: Warm, light meals like moong dal khichdi, boiled vegetables, rice gruel. Sweet fruits like banana, pomegranate, ripe papaya. Ghee and milk in small amounts for soothing the gastric lining.

❌Avoid: Late-night eating and lying down immediately after meals. Spicy, fried, sour, or tomato-based foods. Tea, coffee, and alcohol.

✅Lifestyle Tips: Have dinner by 7:30 PM and walk for 10 minutes afterward. Sleep with the head slightly elevated. Practice Sheetali Pranayama or Anulom Vilom at night for cooling and relaxation.

✅ GRANDDAUGHTER ‘S DANDRUFF

✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OR TREATMENT

✅ External Applications

1.Durdurpratadi taila Apply slightly warm oil to scalp 2–3 times a week. Massage gently and leave for 30–45 mins before washing. 👉 Nourishes scalp, reduces dandruff, and strengthens roots.

2. Aloe Vera + Lemon Juice Mask: Mix 2 tbsp fresh aloe vera gel + few drops lemon juice. Apply on scalp 20 mins before hair wash. 👉 Soothes itching and reduces fungal growth.

3. Fenugreek (Methi) Pack: Soak 2 tsp methi seeds overnight - grind and then mix with curd and apply 30 mins before wash. 👉 Reduces dandruff and promotes smooth hair texture.

4. Herbal Wash: Use Reetha + Shikakai + Amla decoction instead of chemical shampoo. Keeps scalp clean and balanced.

✅DIET AND LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION

Avoid very frequent washing with chemical shampoos — 2–3 times a week is enough.

Encourage intake of amla, curry leaves, coconut, and fresh fruits.

Maintain hydration and regular oiling to prevent dryness.

Keep stress low — stress can worsen both dandruff and acid reflux.

Warm Regards, Dr Snehal Vidhate

Acid reflux happens when excess stomach acid moves upward into the food pipe, causing burning in the chest, sour belching, or nausea Ayurveda describes it as a disturbance of Pitta dosha (the fire element responsible for digestion). when Pitta becomes too strong due to wrong diet, or habits, it mixes with stomach fluids and irritates the food pipe and stomach lining

For your husband’s acid reflux problem, prioritize reducing the factors that may be aggravating his digestive fire. Eating a light dinner at least 2 to 3 hours before bedtime is crucial. Meals should be warm and freshly cooked to ensure they don’t weaken agni. Encourage avoiding spicy, fried, or overly processed food. Ginger tea or warm water with a pinch of hing (asafoetida) can support digestion. Maintaining an upright position after meals for about 20-30 minutes may help reduce acid reflux overnight.

Nightshades like tomatoes and peppers can exacerbate reflux symptoms for some individuals, so reducing or eliminating these from his diet temporarily might be beneficial to see if symptoms improve. Small sips of warm water throughout the day can help balance pitta dosha, which is commonly aggravated in acid reflux. It may be useful to see if he experiences relief from herbal remedies such as amla or licorice root, though these should be used cautiously and possibly with guidance as their long-term effects should be monitored.

As for your granddaughter’s dandruff, dandruff is often a result of a kapha-pitta imbalance. First, try incorporating warm oil massage with coconut or sesame oil before her hair wash. This can help nourish the scalp and control flakiness. Leave the oil on for about an hour before rinsing with a mild herbal shampoo or shikakai. This will help avoid the harsh chemicals that sometimes increase scalp irritation.

Also, rinsing her hair with water boiled with neem leaves or applying a paste of fenugreek seeds soaked overnight could support a healthy scalp and reduce dandruff. Introduce more cooling foods in her diet like cucumbers, and avoid excessive intake of dairy or sugary foods as these might contribute to the imbalance.

If either condition persists or worsens, consulting a professional who can assess the individual prakriti and provide further tailored intervention would be wise.
