Book ConsultationWhat is Dhoopan?
Ayurvedic Herbal Fumigation for Scalp Detox & Hair Wellness
Dhoopan is an ancient Ayurvedic fumigation therapy that uses the therapeutic smoke of medicinal herbs — such as Neem, Guggul, and Vacha — to purify and strengthen the scalp.
The herbal smoke detoxifies scalp pores, eliminates bacterial or fungal buildup, nourishes hair roots, and improves scalp circulation — creating a healthy environment for hair growth.
It is a gentle, non-invasive therapy commonly used as part of an Ayurvedic hair care program, often paired with Shiro Abhyanga or Nasya.

The Dhoopan Procedure
Our Ayurvedic doctor assesses your scalp condition, hair type, and dosha imbalance to select the right herbal blend and any complementary therapies.
A personalised blend of Ayurvedic herbs — Neem, Guggul, Vacha, and other hair-strengthening botanicals — is prepared and placed in the Dhoopan vessel.
The herbal blend is burned on coal or in a specialised Dhoopan vessel to produce a steady stream of warm, therapeutic smoke.
The herbal smoke is directed toward the scalp and hair using a controlled funnel method, allowing the scalp to absorb the medicinal properties deeply.
The patient rests briefly while the scalp fully absorbs the herbal smoke, detoxifying pores and strengthening roots. The doctor advises on aftercare and any follow-up sessions needed.
