Dandruff Home Remedies

                                                        Dandruff  

                  Excessive shedding of dead skin from the scalp is called dandruff.

Skin cells die and flake off, so a small amount of flaking is normal, but when it increases beyond a certain limit, it results in social and self-esteem problems. In a normal condition the scalp skin dies and flakes off in a month, while in those suffering from dandruff, this happens every 2-7 days. It is also associated with redness and itching.

Home Remedies:
Wash hair regularly 2-3 times a week with a mild shampoo. Massage your hair with oil every time before washing the head and hair. Indigestion, constipation, and acid stomach should be treated.

Mix 2-3 teaspoons of coconut oil with 1 teaspoon of Indian gooseberry (amla ) juice. Massage the scalp with this each day.

Mix 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon mustard oil, and 1 cup yogurt. Apply this to the hair ½ to 1 hour before washing the head and hair.

Take 10 drops of lemon juice and add it  to 1 egg white, and beat well. Apply to the scalp and hair once a week.

Avoid spicy, greasy, hot and penetrating foods, junk food, and aerated drinks. Have food with good nutritive value; include fiber-rich foods, salads, fruits, and lentils.

PRAKRUTI

                               Prakriti

Prakriti is the basic nature of intelligence by which the universe exists and functions. 

According to Ayurveda, each individual has a unique Prakriti or constitution. 

This is unlike the traditional Western idea of three basic body types 

- ectomorph (lean and delicate), mesomorph (compact and muscular) and 

endomorph (stocky). According to this system an individual's basic 

constitution to a large extent  determines predisposition and 

prognosis of diseases as well as therapy and life-style regime. 

Ayurveda describes ten broad constitution types (Prakritis) each with a varying 

degree of predisposition to different diseases. Among these, constitutions, 

Sama Dosha (Equal) constitution is the best and it is the rarest. Single Dosha

 constitution is fairly better. Among them Vata is good, Pitta is better and 

Kapha Prakriti is best. Dual constitutions are more commonly seen and are more 

prone to have health issues and a difficult prognosis.

                                          

BENEFITS OF UNDERSTANDING YOUR PRAKRITI

• It gives a thorough understanding of your body and its requirements.

• It helps you maintain optimal health.

• Following a balanced diet and regimen for each seasonal variations help maintain the balance of the Doshas / humours.

• This helps you maintain a balanced personal, family and professional life.

• This analysis helps you understand your body better, the type of your personality, your vulnerability to diseases and helps you intelligently select the foods and regimen that will balance your Prakriti.

PRINCIPLES OF AYURVEDA

                        AYURVEDA                           

According to the ancient Indian philosophies and especially

 Ayurveda, the human body is composed of five natural elements -

 Pṛthvī (earth), Jala(water), Agni (fire), Vāyu (air) and Ākāśa (Sky). 

Hence the human body is a miniature form of the universe in itself.

 The five elements in their biological form in the living body are

 known as DOSHAS or humours. They are – 

Vāyu or Vāta , Pitta and Kapha. All activities and functions

 (normal or abnormal) of the body and mind are dependent on

 the normal or abnormal state of the three Doshas in the body. 

The balanced state of the Doshas is health or equilibrium and 

it’s derangement is disease.

HEEL SPUR / Calcanius Spur

HEEL SPUR  ( Calcanius Spur ) 

Causes of Heel Spurs: 
Heel spurs occur when calcium deposits build up on the underside of the heel bone, a process that usually occurs over a period of many months. Heel spurs are often caused by strains on foot muscles and ligaments, stretching of the plantar fascia, and repeated tearing of the membrane that covers the heel bone. Heel spurs are especially common among athletes whose activities include large amounts of running and jumping.

Risk factors for heel spurs include:
Walking gait abnormalities,which place excessive stress on the heel bone, ligaments, and nerves near the heel
Running or jogging, especially on hard surfaces
Poorly fitted or badly worn shoes, especially those lacking appropriate arch support

Excess weight and obesity
Other risk factors associated with plantar fasciitis include:
Increasing age, which decreases plantar fascia flexibility and thins the heel's protective fat pad

Diabetes
Spending most of the day on one's feet
Frequent short bursts of physical activity
Having either flat feet or high arches

Symptoms of Heel Spurs
Heel spurs often cause no symptoms. But heel spurs can be associated with intermittent or chronic pain -- especially while walking, jogging, or running -- if inflammation develops at the point of the spur formation. In general, the cause of the pain is not the heel spur itself but the soft-tissue injury associated with it.
Many people describe the pain of heel spurs and plantar fasciitis as a knife or pin sticking into the bottom of their feet when they first stand up in the morning -- a pain that later turns into a dull ache. They often complain that the sharp pain returns after they stand up after sitting for a prolonged period of time.
