Namaste Rakesh ji, Your condition indicates an imbalance of Pitta and Kapha doshas. Hyperhidrosis points to excess Pitta (heat) and weakened Vata. Dandruff reflects aggravated Kapha causing oiliness and flakiness. Ayurvedic Chikitsa: Dietary Guidance: Avoid spicy, oily, and fermented foods. Include cooling foods like coconut water, amla, cucumber, and buttermilk. Drink lukewarm water infused with fennel or coriander seeds. Internal Remedies: Take Guduchi or Amla churna daily for cooling and detoxifying. Use Triphala churna at bedtime to cleanse the system. External Remedies: For dandruff: Apply warm Neem oil or Karanj oil mixed with lemon juice before washing. Use Shikakai or Reetha herbal shampoo. For hyperhidrosis: Prepare a paste of Sandalwood and Rosewater to apply on palms and soles. Lifestyle Modifications: Practice Pranayama (Sheetali and Sheetkari) for cooling the body. Avoid excessive heat and stress. Consult an Ayurvedic physician for personalized treatment if symptoms persist. Shanti!

Hyperhidrosis and chronic dandruff can both be challenging, and it’s understandable that you’re seeking effective, long-term solutions. Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) can sometimes be related to overactive sweat glands, often triggered by stress, anxiety, or hormonal imbalances, and might not always be fully controllable with conventional treatments. For hyperhidrosis, you may consider options like prescription-strength antiperspirants containing aluminum chloride, iontophoresis (a procedure using electrical currents to reduce sweating), or even botox injections, which temporarily block sweat glands. Ayurveda suggests using herbs such as sarpagandha (Rauwolfia serpentina), sandalwood powder, or manjistha (Rubia cordifolia) to help balance excess Pitta (heat) and calm sweat production. For dandruff, Ayurveda emphasizes balancing Vata and Kapha doshas with herbs like neem, bhringraj, and amla, and scalp massages with warm oils such as coconut or sesame oil. Maintaining a balanced diet, reducing stress, staying hydrated, and using gentle, non-irritating shampoos might also be beneficial. Since your dandruff recurs after medication stops, focusing on a more holistic approach—diet, stress management, and natural treatments—could help keep it in check. It’s important to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner or integrative healthcare provider to develop a personalized plan that targets both conditions effectively.

Hyperhidrosis and dandruff, right? These things can be so annoying and tough to manage, especially when they keep coming back like a boomerang. Let's see how Ayurveda might help. Hyperhidrosis, that sweating issue could be linked to an imbalance in Pitta dosha, especially since you sweat even when it's cold. What you can try, is to cool down your body's Pitta. Avoid spicy foods — they’re a big Pitta aggravaters! Also, caffeine and alcohol can heat up the body, so cut back on those if you can. Drinking coconut water a few times a day could help, too. And using talcum powder mixed with a bit of sandalwood powder on your palms, feet, and armpits might offer some relief. It’s about staying cool, inside and out. Now about dandruff, a lot of times, it’s a Kapha imbalance with a touch of Pitta disturbance. For this, use neem oil before you shampoo, maybe twice a week. Neem is a hero when it comes to anti-fungal properties. Massage the oil into your scalp and leave it for at least an hour. Use a herbal shampoo like one with tea tree oil for cleansing. Also, rinse your scalp with a diluted solution of apple cider vinegar after washing, it restores the scalp's pH balance. Managing your stress is super important. Ever thought about meditation or yoga? They’re amazing for keeping your doshas in check and can help a bit with the sweating, as well. Proper sleep is another major factor. Try incorporating breathing exercises like Anulom Vilom or Shitali pranayama into your routine, even just a few minutes a day. Finally, since you've been struggling with this for a long time, it could be good to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for a personalized therapy. They might suggest Panchakarma detoxification, specifically therapies like Vaman or Virechana, if appropriate. Keep at it, these changes take time, try to be patient with your body!
