Dandruff is a common problem during winters, and getting rid of it permanently can be challenging. According to Ayurvedic expert Dr. Manoj Das, a simple home remedy using natural ingredients can help clear dandruff effectively.
Why Dandruff Happens
Dandruff may seem trivial, but it affects both men and women, forming a thick layer on the scalp. While many rely on anti-dandruff shampoos and oils, these often provide only temporary relief. Within a few days, the problem can return.
Ingredients for the Remedy
The Ayurvedic remedy uses natural ingredients, which are easily available in local markets:
- Sesame oil
- Cumin seeds
- Alum (fitkari)
- Betel leaves
The quantities can be adjusted according to need.
Preparation Method
- Heat sesame oil in a pan. You can use either black or white sesame oil.
- Add cumin seeds, a small piece of alum, and chopped betel leaves to the oil.
- Stir continuously until the ingredients are lightly charred.
- Strain the oil to separate the solids.
The resulting oil is ready for use as a natural anti-dandruff treatment.
How to Use
Dr. Das recommends a patch test before applying the oil on children or sensitive scalps. Once tested, massage the oil gently into the scalp. The oil can be stored for 1 to 1.5 months. After this period, it is advisable to discard any leftover oil and prepare a fresh batch.
Benefits of Using This Ayurvedic Oil
- Provides deep nourishment to the scalp
- Moisturizes dry scalp effectively
- Reduces dandruff
- Hydrates and soothes itching
- Strengthens hair roots
This simple and natural remedy provides a safe and effective solution for persistent dandruff, helping maintain healthy, nourished hair during winter.
