Suggest Natural Medicine For Controlling Dandruff And Hair Fall

Good day Doctor,

I'm having dandruff for more than 10 yrs. I tried lots of shampoos (Sun SIlk, All Clear etc.,) and I was unable to get rid of this problem. Most of my hairs have fallen and I'm looking a little bald headed.

Could you provide me any natural medicines to solve my problem?



Regards,

Thulasidharan

1. Dandruff and hair fall go hand in hand [Dandruff leads to irritation and inflammation in the scalp with resulting hair fall], also check with your thyroid status [underactive] and hemoglobin level.
2. Low humidity and any immunocompromised state can also lead to the above said problem?
3. Too much calcium in the body can also negatively affect the hair. [please check with values of calcium ]

preventive aspect is given below

i. Avoid too much exposure to sun.
ii. Avoid high extremes of temperature
iii. After bath make sure you avoid vigorous toweling of hair, let them dry naturally.
iv. Make less choice for synthetic hair oils, hair coloring, bleaching, styling and use of dry blowers.
v. Avoid excessive exposure to sun, heat, wind, dust, anger, stress, anxiety,
vi. Avoid oily, fried, spicy, hot, fermented and stale food.
vii.
. Proteins are essential for antibodies production so milk, egg (white), beans, yogurt, soymilk, pumpkin, squash,watermelon,peanuts,almonds, if non-vegetarian (meat) are choices.
. Soap nut (reetha) and shikakai along with Bhringraj and Neelini oil acts as natural conditioner and dye, you can use it safely.
. Vitamin B1 and B2, Omega-6 and Zinc, magnesium, biotin are very effective in treating dandruff so make sure they are a part of regular vitamin intake, apple cider vinegar, Olive Oil or Coconut Oil, raw aloe vera juice applied directly to scalp.
. You may ask for effective Prescription Medicines like:
. Trichup Oil & Capsule [VASU]
. Scurfol lotion [ATRIMED]
. For Immunomodulation start taking Amalaki Rasayana, Chayawanprash avleha.

PS. You need to Consult a Trichologist for your hair loss to rule out any other pathology, who will make sure that you are not affected with any fungal infection of the scalp [eczema/psoriasis or seborrheic dermatitis ], [it is not dandruff, but the reasons for dandruff that cause hair loss.]
