Dandruff

Embarrassed by that irresistible itching of the scalp and shedding tiny white flaky particles – Yep, that’s life with Dandruff.

Most people search for shampoos or oils to cure Dandruff.

While the symptoms of dandruff are visible on the head externally, it’s actually an internal problem and unless the cause is treated, those shampoos will have no effect.

What Causes Dandruff?

Some potential causes of dandruff are:

• Naturally having a dry skin and a dry scalp
• Chronic constipation
• Lack of hygiene like regular shampooing/ grooming
• Presence of other skin diseases like the seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis
• Allergies due to some cosmetic products such as hair sprays, dyes and shampoos.
• Stress/insomnia

Nirogam’s Ayurvedic Treatment for Dandruff

The treatment for Dandruff in Ayurveda depends on the underlying cause.

E.g. If your dandruff is caused by constipation, then a combination of Dhurdhurapatradi tailam and Triphala tablets are helpful in nourishing the scalp, reducing itchiness and curing constipation to effectively reduce dandruff.

Dandruff might recur even after treatment due to lack of hygiene or improper care.

In most of the people, dandruff is a seasonal issue. But actually the fact is that in such people, there is dandruff all the time but they notice it only during winters when the scalp becomes excessively dry and flaky.
