Hi dear So dandruff just won’t go away with hair oil and shampoo unless you adress the vata and pitta kopa happening along with it. Use *Patoladi kashayam 15 ml twice daily before food mixed with 60 ml luke warm water *Kaisora guggulu 2 tablet twice daily before food mixed with kashaya *Durdhurapatradi kera taila on scalp and hair after gently warming it up thrice a week *Psora liquid wash shampoo following oiling * Use s scalp massager Do not use hot water on scalp. Add in some apple cider vinegar in bath water. Wash scalp atleast once in 3 days. Wash hair regularly if there is excessive sweating. Avoid eating achar papad, fried food, fermented items, bhindi, brinjal, chana dal, white rice, pea, potato , dahi etc. You will start seeing results from the initial week but complete cure is dependent on the extent of damage already happened.
