Namaste, Your concerns — IBS, indigestion, and white scales on scalp — indicate digestion imbalance with ama accumulation, affecting both gut and skin (often vata-pitta involvement). The focus should be on improving digestion, reducing ama, and supporting gut–skin balance rather than aggressive detox. Avoid raw, cold, and heavy foods. Prefer warm, freshly cooked meals like moong dal, rice, khichdi, and cooked vegetables. Avoid excessive spicy, fried, and processed foods. Eat at regular timings and avoid overeating. Sip warm water through the day. Reduce stress and maintain proper sleep, as IBS is closely linked with gut–mind balance. Ayurvedic medicines with dose and timing: Dadimashtaka Churna – 1 teaspoon, twice daily with food Avipattikar Churna – 1 teaspoon at bedtime with warm water Kutajarishta – 15 ml with equal water, twice daily after food For scalp: Apply Neelibhringadi Taila 3–4 times a week, leave for 30–60 minutes, then wash with a mild herbal shampoo These are traditionally used to improve digestion, regulate bowel movements, reduce ama, and support scalp health when combined with proper routine. Avoid strong detox or repeated Panchakarma at this stage, as it may further weaken digestion. Improvement in IBS and scalp condition can be seen gradually over a few weeks with consistent care. Consultation can help tailor this further to your needs.
