ABSTRACT:
Darunaka is a clinical condition which is very common in all age group people. With no significant relation to sex, religion and geographical distribution its signs and symptoms correlate with Seborrheic Dermatitis in contemporary medicines. Poor scalp and hair hygiene, improper food habit like more intakes of Kaphaja Ahara Vihara & exposure to cold are the chief predisposing factors of the disease in adults with Kapha-Vata predominance Shareerika Prakriti are more prone to develop Darunaka. Both the drug Tankana Bhasma with Narikela Taila and YastimadhuChurna with Narikela Taila application in Darunaka has significant results. However, there is significant effect of Tankana Bhasma application than Yashtimadhu Churna application in Darunaka as from the Ayurvedic perspective, it controls the imbalance of Doshas and thus effectively reduces the signs and symptoms of Darunaka. Acharya Sushruta, Bhavaprakasha and Madhava Mentioned Darunaka as a Kshudraroga having Signs and Symptoms like Kesha Chyuti, Kandu etc. while Acharya Vagbhata and Sharangadhara had opined Darunaka is a Kapalagata Roga the prevalence of clinically significant Seborrheic Dermatitis is approximately 3% with peak prevalence in the 3rd and 4th decades. It affects approximately 11.6% of the general population. Among adults the peak incidence is in the 3rd and 4th decade of life The anti-dandruff shampoos /anti-fungal scalp cleansers only show temporary relief from the scalp symptoms and have their own disadvantages like roughening of the hair and hair loss Ayurveda emphasizes on scalp hygiene, nutritious diet, and mental calmness, etc. Both Tankana Bhasma and Yashtimadhu Churna are endowed with Keshya, Vrunahara, and Kandughna Vata Kapha Hara Krimihara properties.
