Keep the bottle tightly closed after every use.
You can leave it on all day.
Nilibhringadi keratailam can be used for psoriasis
I USED THIS PRODUCT FIRST TIME. SO AFTER BATHING MUCH MORE OF MY HAIR STARTED TO FALLING. WHY THIS LIKE HAPPENED SIR?
It can happen in the first week. The hairs with loose roots fall off due to the heaviness of oil drops on the scalp. Do not rub excessively after applying hair oil.
Usually things start to look better from second week onward. If still there is hair fall, consult an Ayurveda doctor directly.
I HAVE APPLAYED THIS OIL,AFTER ONE HOUR I WASHED WITH SOAP,AFTER THAT I GET SEVERE ITCHING SENSATION ALL OVER THE HANDAS AND LEGS,IS’T ALLERGY?IS THERE ANY PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN I CONTINU USE OF IT?
It is very unlikely to cause an allergy.
Anyways, stop using this oil.
For psoriasis external application which oils are best
Hii Dr. i am facing severe hairfall caused thinning of hair..can ayyappapala oil helps the regrowth of hair..
Hi Doctor, I have been diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis on my scalp. I have had it for at least 4 months now. My doctor asked me to use Dhurdhurapathradi taila regularly. I have used the oil thrice a week for a month but it hasn’t helped much. Shall I also get Ayyapala kairatailam and mix it with dhurdhurapathradi and see if that makes a difference? I also have seborrheic dermatitis on my face in the t zone area for which I have been put on patolakaturohinyadi Kashayam and psorakot gel and tiktakam kashyam. Will that address my problem? And adding ayyapala to dhurdhurapathradi won’t have any adverse effect on my face dermatitis. Look forward to your advise.
