What is Dandruff?

From the point of Ayurveda: When the phlegm (kaffa) and Vata dosha present in our body becomes unbalanced, white crust-like mildew starts forming on the skin of the head which is called dandruff.

In general terminology: Due to the presence of oil in the head, the skin of the head becomes sticky due to which dirt gets deposited in the hair and this dirt only invokes dandruff. Hair also starts breaking due to this mess. Due to unhealthy eating patterns, the hair becomes oily due to which there is a problem of dandruff in the head.

Causes of Dandruff

According to Ayurveda, Vata-Pitta-Kapha doshas are found in our bodies. If the dosha becomes unbalanced, then many diseases start to occur in our bodies. Similarly, in the case of Dandruff, the bile and phlegm mix in the blood and makes the blood dirty. The head follicles close the pores. Due to which the skin of the head starts to dry and the crust starts to settle on the head that is called dandruff. But, there are many reasons for being dandruff.

Now you would like to know what remedies you can do at home to treat dandruff. Let us know about them in detail.

Vitamin & Mineral deficiency

There are many vital elements found in our body that are very important for growth. Individuals who do not eat well or people who take a very little amount of vitamins and proteins in their diet always face hair fall issues. People who consume a lot of outside junk food, fine flour, and take very small quantities of green vegetables in their diet get very less livable elements like Vitamins (Vitamin ‘B’ Complex) and Minerals. Vitamin b12 does not allow dandruff to form, so it is very important to have it in our food.

When we eat fewer green vegetables, our body gets a very small amount of B12, which is why dandruff starts to increase.

Age matters

At the age of puberty (15-18), our body develops some hormonal changes. When it gets imbalanced we find major changes in the body and our scalp also get affected.  Due to which the skin of the head of some people becomes oilier and we find a white crust starts forming in the scalp. This crust starts to settle on the skin of the head and it is called Dandruff. Dandruff is not the only cause of puberty, but it is one of the main causes.

Mental stress / tension

Nowadays people are more under mental stress due to the secretion of stress hormones. The more you get stressed your body secretes more stress hormones and this is one of the reasons to get dandruff.

Nowadays immunity of people has reduced because the eating and drinking patterns have been changed tremendously. They do not get complete nutrition because most of the time they eat contagious food such as – Ice-cream, cold drinks, pizza, burgers, etc. Our body does not get complete nutrition. Due to such eating habits, your immunity level becomes weak and your hormone level gets imbalanced. These all factors lead to dryness of hair and your scalp starts accumulating white flakes/dead cells.

Dead cells on the head begin to freeze in white color. We feel itching most of the time keep scratching on the head. Those who eat sweet things (chocolate, pastry, sugar) are prone to have dandruff.

The other reason for the dandruff is pollution and contaminated air and water. The smoke, dust, and other dangerous particle start accumulating on our scalp and thus the root of the hair is closed and cells become dry due to the non-supply of air in the hair follicle. It becomes a major concern of dandruff.

Long-term use of high steroid medicine

When a person takes high steroid medicine for a long time, his immune system becomes weak due to which the hormones become imbalanced which also leads to dandruff.

Using harmful chemical colored hair

Often, the use of hair color in ammonia for a long time makes the scalp of the head dry. Dry hair plays a prime role in producing dandruff. As we know oily scalp has less chance to get dandruff. So, we have to give proper attention while purchasing hair color and we must buy a good quality product for our hair.
