Brief Summary   ‘Darunaka’ is mentioned as a dreadful disease of scalp, where-in skin of scalp is cracked, dried along with itching due to vitiation of Vata and Kapha doshas, under ‘Kshudra Rogas’ by Acharya Sushruta and Sharangadhara. Darunaka Vyadhi can be correlated with the modern nomenclature of diseases as ‘Dandruff & Seborrheic Dermatitis of scalp according to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD 10 & 11).The major difference between ‘Dandruff’ and Seborrheic Dermatitis (SD) is the area of skin being affected in both the diseases. Dandruff is limited to the scalp skin and wherein Seborrheic Dermatitis can spread over the scalp and as well as other Seborrheic areas of the body. Dandruff involves flaking of skin, itching without any visible inflammation. SD involves flaking or scaling of skin, itching, inflammation and prutitus.Dandruff is the most exploited scalp disease and is having very high incidence as much as 50% amongst urban population and it is rapidly increasing in rural population also. External usage of Ahiphena (Khakhasa) beeja (seeds of Papaver somniferum Linn.) in Darunaka Vyadhi has been mentioned by Acharya Sarangadhara. Ahiphena (poppy) seed is an widely used spice and an edible ingredient in maximum families across India for taste and normal poppy seeds are generally regarded as safe for internal consumption. Seed oil contains 70%-73% of linoliec acid, 13%-15% oleic acid, 10%-12.5% palmitic acid, 1%- 2% stearic acid, 0.2%-0.7% linolenic acid and less percentage of tocopherols and having different pharmacological activities including topical applications. A pilot study is planned to evaluate the efficacy of the seed oil in dandruff.
