Abstract
Arunshika is a Kshudra Roga mentioned in classical Ayurvedic texts, predominantly caused by Vata-Kapha Dushti, presenting with Kandu (itching), Rukshata (dryness), Twak Sphutana (scaling or fissuring of scalp), and Keshapatan (hair fall). In modern dermatology, Seborrhoeic Dermatitis represents a chronic, relapsing inflammatory condition of the scalp characterized by erythematous plaques with greasy or dry scales and pruritus. Conventional treatments include antifungal and corticosteroid preparations which often produce temporary relief, recurrence, and side effects such as irritation and hair fall. Ayurvedic formulations, addressing Dosha-Dushti and Srotorodha, offer a safer and holistic approach.
