Scalp psoriasis can be challenging, but Ayurveda offers effective treatments to manage symptoms like flakiness and itching. To balance your scalp condition, you can apply a mixture of coconut oil with neem, turmeric, or tea tree oil to soothe irritation and reduce inflammation. A paste of aloe vera and turmeric can also be applied directly to the affected areas to calm the scalp. Internally, herbs like Guduchi, Triphala, and Mahamanjisthadi Kwath can help detoxify the body and balance the immune system, which is often involved in psoriasis. Additionally, regular oiling with medicated oils like Bhringraj oil or Brahmi oil can nourish the scalp and improve skin health. It's also important to follow a cooling diet, avoiding spicy, acidic, and fried foods, which can aggravate Pitta dosha, and include hydrating, anti-inflammatory foods like cucumbers, leafy greens, and coconut water. Consulting an Ayurvedic specialist can provide personalized recommendations and therapies for your condition.

Ah, scalp psoriasis, such a stubborn condition it can be. When those medicated lotions and shampoos don't cut it, it might be time to explore a deeper, more holistic approach. In Ayurveda, we often view scalp conditions like these through a doshic lens. Almond oil or coconut oil massage can be a fantastic starting point. Warm a small amount of one of these oils and massage it gently onto your scalp. This helps balance vata and pitta doshas, which often contribute to scalp issues. Don't be shy with the amount, just let it sit for at least an hour or even overnight if you can stand it, which helps reduce both dryness and inflammation.
Internally, it's crucial to balance your diet. Avoid excessive sour, salty, and spicy foods, as they tend to aggravate pitta; instead favor cooling and sweet tastes. Things like cooling cucumber, sweet watermelon or coconut water can be our allies here. Also, try incorporating neem leaves in your diet; neem is known for its detoxifying and cooling properties. Steep fresh neem leaves in hot water for a natural tea. Pich taste, yes, but highly effective.
Triphala, a revered herbal concoction, if taken regularly help detoxify and balance the body, lending support in easing psoriasis symptoms. Take one teaspoon with warm water at bedtime. Don't forget about stress! It's a huge trigger for psoriasis flare-ups, so include daily calming practices like deep breathing or meditation.
Make sure bathrooms are well-ventilated; mold and mildew might make matters worse. Switching to a mild, natural shampoo without any fragrance or colors will reduce scalp irritation. It's not a quick fix, as true healing seldom is, but with consistent and patient application of these gentle remedies, you should feel the difference over time.
Keep in mind, if symptoms sharply worsen or don't improve, don't hesitate to see your dermatologist for further options. Safety first, always!
