What Causes Dandruff?

The root causes of dandruff are complex and multifaceted, even though it might seem to be a minor inconvenience,  making it a subject of scientific interest and curiosity. Considering the factors behind this issue is crucial for effective management and prevention of dandruff.

Our Ayurveda clinic Dubai is always here to help you with your hair and scalp problems. Now, let us go through some of the common causes of dandruff:

  • Oily skin
  • Extremely dry skin
  • Weather changes
  • Frequent shampooing 
  • Yeast attacks
  • Scalp Psoriasis
  • Overuse of hairstyling products that produce heat

Ayurvedic Remedies to Get Rid of Dandruff

The ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, rooted in centuries-old traditions, has a holistic approach to combat dandruff addressing both its underlying causes and symptoms. This ancient system of medicines helps in reducing dandruff, maintaining a healthy scalp, and restoring the balance of the body and mind. The following are some of the natural and Ayurvedic solutions suggested by the experts at our Ayurvedic hospital in Dubai that help to bid bye to those pesky flakes and attain peace of mind. 

Head Massage With Herbal Oils

You can have a self-head massage with herbal oils to mitigate dandruff and its symptoms and have a healthy scalp. The ancient Indian system of medicine, Ayurveda, places emphasis on the balance of energies in the body and considers dandruff as an imbalance on the scalp. Carefully chosen herbal oils that include neem, coconut, amla, and fenugreek, which have anti-fungal properties nourish your scalp and hair. It not only nurtures the hair and the skin condition and prevents dryness and flakiness of dandruff but also improves blood circulation in the head resulting in healthier hair growth. When you massage your hair with slightly warm herbal oils, you get a calming and refreshing experience, resulting in a refreshed scalp and lustrous locks. Thus, consider incorporating head massage with herbal oils in your daily routine to maintain healthier, dandruff-free hair by embracing the traditional holistic principles of natural healing with Ayurveda. 

Thalapothichil

Thalapothichil is a popular Ayurvedic treatment for dandruff that includes the application of a carefully mixed special herbal paste to the scalp. This Ayurvedic therapy is deeply rooted in the traditional principles that focus on the balance of doshas within the human body. Usually, this herbal paste is composed of a blend of herbs such as neem, amla, and sandalwood along with other natural substances such as coconut milk or yogurt. When this herbal paste is applied to the scalp, it instantly provides a cooling and soothing effect and beats dandruff by dealing with the underlying causes such as excess heat and some kind of inflammation. This treatment method is known for its feature of nourishing the scalp, reducing itching, and promoting a healthy balance of the oils. In the course of time, with the regular Thalapothichil treatment, you can receive a dandruff-free and healthier scalp.

Use of Ayurvedic Herbs

You can include Ayurvedic herbs in your daily life to stay away from dandruff and to treat dandruff even from your own home. One of the most common scalp conditions, dandruff, with its flakiness and itching is considered as the imbalance in the doshas of the body, especially Vata and Pitta. According to the Ayurvedic principles, the use of herbs is a natural and sustainable solution that can address the major root causes of dandruff. The herbs such as tulsi, neem, brahmi, bhringaraj, hibiscus, and amalaki, among other herbs are highly regarded for their anti-dandruff and scalp-nourishing properties. Other properties like anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, and hair growth make them apt to soothe irritated scalps, deal with dandruff-causing microbes, and restore the natural state of the scalps. 

Tulsi: Tulsi is also known as holy basil which helps in boosting blood circulation and keeps the scalp calm. This reduces irritation and dandruff promoting hair growth. 

Neem: Neem helps in clearing clogged pores and improving hair growth. Its regenerative properties along with antiseptic and healing properties help in the treatment of dandruff and are a solution for a variety of hair problems. 

Amla: Amla is also known as Indian gooseberry which is an ample source of vitamin C. It keeps both scalp and hair healthy, enhancing hair growth and hair pigmentation. It also strengthens the roots and is used widely as a solution to mitigate baldness and hair loss. 

Bhringraj: Bhringraj, commonly known as false daisy, is a medicinal herb that boosts hair growth. It has the properties to stimulate blood circulation and trigger hair growth. It helps in preventing scalp irritations like dandruff and makes sure that hair growth is stimulated. 

Hibiscus: Hibiscus is a beneficial ingredient for hair as it contains amino acids, vitamins A and C, and other ingredients. It reduces hair loss and enhances hair growth minimizing the chance of dandruff by keeping your scalp healthy.
