For people having Vata prakruti head massage with Keshyam oil should be done twice a week, for pittaj prakruti it should be done once a week and for kaphaj prakruti people it should be applied once in 10 days. Keshyam oil should not be left on an oily scalp overnight as it may increase Kapha dosha. Bhringraja present in Keshyam oil promotes hair growth and rejuvenation.

Amla helps in reducing scalp irritation and boosts blood circulation. Giloy prevents hair from oxidative damage. It is an excellent pittashamak. Regular use of Kottakal’s Keshyam oil prevents hair from dandruff. Not using lukewarm oil and keeping oil on the scalp for more than 2 hours may induce stiffness in the neck due to an increase in Vata dosha, also heating oil too much may irritate the scalp and cause a burning sensation due to an increase in Pitta dosha.
