Can food cure my dandruff?

Since dandruff is counted as a skin disease, according to Indian system of herbal medicine, we can 1. reduce root vegetables like potato and colacasia. 2. we may have to reduce oily foods. 2. Udvartanam (Sanskrit word): We can use Bengal gram flour or Green gram flour (lentils) for the purposes. First we have to apply sesame oil to our body. Then we have to take flour in a small saucer, add a little water. The wet paste is then applied on the entire body except hair. Using hands, we have to gently rub the skin in such a way that the flour and sesame oil mix with the dirt on the body and come out in flakes. When we do this for the first time, we can remove a lot of unnotice dirt from the skin. When the pores are cleaned, the skin starts breathing fresh air. After 10/15 minutes we have to take a hair bath, rubbing the hair with bengalgram flour/greengram flour, using warm water. Normally shampooing or using soap will not be necessary either for the body or the hair. HOwever, whereever a person feels not sufficiently cleans, soapnut fruit juice can be used for washing hair as well as body. This process may be taken up once a fortnight/month on holidays/festivals. Though I do not guarantee that it will work wonders, I assure that we feel refreshed. A feeling of cleanliness as distinct from using chemical detergents or deodorents. I write this from my personal experience and without any legal liability in any case. Can somebody try "udvartanam" and write his good/bad experiences here?

Yes!definitely!Your diet can help greatly reduce dandruff!Part of the reason dandruff occurs is that skin oils in the scalp are thick and acidic largely from a diet of saturated fat.If you eliminate junk food,animal oils and heavy plant oils such as palm and coconut and eat more of the good fats that are found in nuts and seeds the condition of dandruff greatly improves.
