Understanding Dandruff (रूसी) from Ayurvedic Perspective
Key Symptoms: white or yellowish flakes on scalp and shoulders, itchy scalp, oily or dry scaly patches, worsens in cold weather.
Ayurvedic Root Cause: Darunaka — Vata-Pitta combined scalp disorder creating ideal conditions for Malassezia yeast overgrowth.
Modern medicine provides symptomatic relief for Dandruff but rarely addresses the underlying doshic imbalance. Ayurveda corrects this fundamental imbalance — providing more lasting and holistic healing. The Ayurvedic approach combines targeted herbs, dietary changes and lifestyle modifications for comprehensive management.
