Dandruff is a harmless dry, white flake of skin that you brush off your collar or shoulders. However, it may be humiliating and unpleasant. Dandruff is not caused by frequency of hair washing, instead, it's all about your scalp's skin. The issue is that skin cells develop and die too quickly. It's not obvious why this happens. Malassezia, a common fungus, causes dandruff. The dandruff can be caused due to overreaction of the body with fungus.
Dandruff is classified by Ayurveda as Shudra Roga-Darunakam, which occurs when all three doshas are out of balance (Ayurvedic humor). Pitta and Vata are the two main doshas involved. Both doshas produce unique impurities termed ama, which are dry and hot in nature when they are inflamed. These toxins collect in the scalp's deep tissues, damaging them. Itching and spots on the scalp are caused by contamination of the deep tissues and an intensified Vata-Pitta Dosha. Because of these variables, the scalp loses a higher-than-normal number of dead epidermal cells, resulting in dandruff.
Local creams, antibiotics, and steroids solely cover the symptoms; they do not address the underlying source of the problem, which is why the problem recurs so frequently. Patients should follow a personalized Dandruff treatment strategy that includes a healthy diet and specialized natural herbal medicine. The therapy also focuses on clearing the body of impurities with individualized herbal medications and home remedies.
Treatment of dandruff in Ayurveda is elimination from its root cause, i.e. by balancing Vata and pitta dosha, and by using potent drugs to speed up the process. The treatment for dandruff includes multiple detoxifications, massage of head with herbal oils and intake of medications to balance doshas. This line of treatment has helped people live dandruff free flaunting hairs.
