Avoid Scalp Allergy during this Rainy weather

Causes of itchy scalp and skin

Itchy scalp could be due to many reasons like it could be due to normal dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis or scalp psoriasis. If you have an itchy scalp due to dandruff then, the condition is non-inflammatory with some problems like itching, getting flakiness, hair fall which could lead to the hair thinning which ultimately causes lower self-esteem.

In Ayurveda, the dandruff was understood as Darunak which is a type of Kshudra roga  and it is a kapalagata roga. It is considered as Vata-Kaphaj vyadhi which affects the scalp and causes issues like itchy scalp, loss of shine in the hair strands, cracking of the scalp skin, weaker roots and severe hair fall. 

Dandruff could be due to Vata dosha as dominating dosha over Kapha dosha which leads to dry dandruff and vice-versa for wet dandruff.
