Damaged hair scalp

[Guest guest]

My girlfriend is suffering with a chronic scalp damage since 1993 where

she used one time a L'Oreal at-home hair dye kit. Her scalp became

EXTREMELY red and itchy and she immediately went to see a specialist

doctor who could not help her. Her skin became better after some time,

but it chronically red and FLAKY. Is this permanent genetic damage?

She says she has slowly and gradually over the years lost 50% or her

hair follicles after this, although your wouldnt think so when you saw

her hair, as she had SO much hair before. She is 48.

 

I need input for an ayurvedic based protocol to treat this. I am

wondering about coconut based medical scalp oils, which ones can be

recommended. She is eating healthy and organic, she is very aware of

healthy foods. Her choice of shampoos has since been the 'natural'

ones, but I know these has not been completely free of chemicals. So I

need input on this also. And if there are aurvedic internal medicines

to treat this. I know this is treating the external symptoms, but it

is this incident with these dye chemicals that created the scalp

disease in the first place.

 

Thanks for your help,

Red ness of scalp is due to sensitive reaction of the

skin against hair dye. So you have to use any anti

allergic drug., as dry powder of curatoim is the best

anti allergic herbal drug for internal use. And for

dry hair with dendruf due to dye., local application

with gental massage of captur oil is much beneficial

as it has highly soothing effect. So go through these

and reply on follow up. ... Dr Ketan .. India.

hi ole

 

the chemical damage may in fact have caused a genetic mutation in skin,

but its likely that the original damage has simply never healed

properly

 

i would suggest not using ANY shampoos at all - even natural shampoos

contain skin-irritating detergents

 

a preparation like bhringaraja tala for several weeks could be applied

for several weeks at night before bed (after application the hair can

be tied up and covered with a plastic shower cap), and in the morning

using a herbal hair rinse to get as much of the oil out as possible -

obviously having very short hair is a much more workable scenario for

this treatment)

 

you aren't limited to indian herbal preparations, and if its more

convenient a medicated oil prepared with comfrey leaf, horsetail,

rosemary etc. in olive oil might be just as effective

 

in addition, i would recommend nutrients that promote tissue healing

including vit A (20,000 IU/d), C (2-3 g/d), E (800 iu/d), zinc (50

mg/d) and omega 3 fatty acids (1000 mg ea EPA/DHA/d)

 

with hair loss, i might recommend herbs like horsetail, amla and the

chinese herb he shou wu, and do a review of endocrinal function since

hair loss is common in several endocrinal disorders such as

hypothyroidism

 

good luck... todd caldecott

Hello Dr Ketan

 

Thank you for your reply. I can find zero online

references for both "curatoim" powder or "captur" oil.

Is this ayurvedic??

 

If someone with experience has input to the original

query below, I would be most grateful.

 

Thanks,

 

Ole

You may try Mahatikta ghrut and Vran shodhan oil for External application to the

scalp , we have successfully tried this combination , the application of this

reduces the inflamation and gives the soothing effect , and the scalp will come

to normal
