Dandruff (COSMETOLOGICAL PROCEDURES)

Dandruff (known as Darunaka in Ayurveda) is a common scalp condition caused by imbalanced Vata and Kapha doshas, leading to dryness, itching, flaking, and sometimes hair fall. Ayurveda treats dandruff by cleansing the scalp, nourishing the roots, and balancing doshas—offering long-term relief without harsh chemicals.

Causes (According to Ayurveda)
• Aggravated Vata-Kapha dosha
• Dry scalp or excessive oiliness
• Poor diet and digestion (Agnimandya)
• Stress and hormonal imbalance
• Use of chemical-based hair products
