As per Ayurveda, itching on the scalp can be caused by imbalances in the doshas, primarily Pitta and Vata, which affect the skin and scalp. The use of harsh shampoos or imbalanced internal digestion can aggravate these doshas, leading to dryness, inflammation, or excessive oil production. I recommend focusing on internal nourishment with Ayurvedic herbs such as Amla, Neem, and Brahmi to balance the doshas. External applications like a gentle coconut oil massage mixed with a few drops of tea tree oil can soothe the scalp. Also, a proper diet rich in antioxidants, hydration, and avoiding spicy or oily foods may help address the root cause of your condition. If symptoms persist, a personalized consultation with an Ayurvedic practitioner would be beneficial for a tailored treatment plan.

Dear Chandranarayanarao,
Itching on the scalp can be caused by various factors such as imbalances in the Vata, Pitta, or Kapha doshas, fungal infections, or sensitivity to products. Since you've tried keto shampoos and Ayurvedic medicines without relief, here are some additional Ayurvedic tips:
Scalp Oil Treatment: Regularly apply coconut oil or neem oil to your scalp. These oils have antifungal and soothing properties that can help calm irritation and treat dryness or infections.
Herbal Remedies:
Amla powder mixed with water can be applied to the scalp to balance Pitta and reduce inflammation.
Neem: Neem leaves or neem oil have antimicrobial properties and can help treat scalp infections or itching.
Dietary Changes: Avoid spicy, oily, or hot foods that can aggravate Pitta dosha and worsen scalp irritation. Include cooling foods like cucumbers and coconut.
Hair Care Practices: Use mild, herbal shampoos with ingredients like bhringraj, amla, and neem. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Stress Management: Stress can exacerbate skin conditions, so try relaxation techniques like meditation or yoga.
If the problem persists, it may be beneficial to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner who can assess your condition and provide tailored treatments.

Oh, head itching can be such a pesky issue, right? Especially since you've already tried a few remedies. But don't worry, there are some more Ayurvedic insights that could help.
First thing we could explore what's driving this itch—often its a Vata or Kapha imbalance. For Vata, dryness is usually the culprit. While for Kapha, it could be oiliness or dandruff. Observing which one is more like your symptoms might help narrow it down.
Try a gentle hot oil massage with coconut or sesame oil about 30 minutes before shampooing. Warm the oil for a bit, and massage it into your scalp using circular motions. Sesame oil is great if you suspect Vata could be the issue, while coconut oil works wonders balancing out Pitta.
If you lean towards a Kapha imbalance—thicker, oily dandruff, try using neem oil in your routine. Neem, like a battalion of mini-cleaners, tackles dandruff and soothes the scalp. Leave the oil in for about an hour before washing it off.
Switch to a mild, herbal shampoo, and wash your hair twice a week. Avoid over washing as it can strip natural oils and aggravate Vata. Ridiculously important to keep your hair scalp nourished.
Diet plays a huge role too! Make sure you consume a lot of hydrating foods—think cucumber, bell peppers, and watermelon, if in season. They help balance Vata. And turmeric-infused warm milk before bed? Perfect for soothing any inflammation.
Stay hydrated and get regular sleep; they're your buddies in keeping itchy scalp woes away.
If things still don't improve, it might be worth chatting again with a practitioner to closely examine your Prakriti, may need personalised intervention, yeah? Can't predict everything perfectly from a distance, haha.
It's a journey, really. Let me know if there's anything else on your mind about this.
