Abstract

Background: Dandruff is a common skin condition that mainly affects the scalp. Almost half of the population at the pre-pubertal age and of any gender and ethnicity will be affected. It was discovered that the responsible agent is a scalp specific fungus, Malassezia globosa. Karnasphotha (Cardiospermum helicacabum Linn.) commonly known as Balloon vine from Sapindaceae family is traditionally used for dandruff. So here an attempt is made to study the in vitro efficacy of Karnasphota (Cardiospermum helicacabum Linn.) decoction against dandruff. Aims and Objectives: In vitro Antidandruff activity of Karnasphota Mula and Beeja by Agar cup method and Biocidal activity. Methodology: In vitro Antidandruff activity of Karnasphota (Cardiospermum helicacabum Linn.) Bija and Mula Kwatha against dandruff by – Agar cup method and Biocidal activity. Result: The Karnasphotha Moola showed good antidandruff activity against Malassezia furfur in different concentrations. Whereas Karnasphotha Beeja showed no antidandruff activity against Malassezia furfur in any concentrations. Conclusion: The Karnasphotha Moola is having significant Antidandruff properties.
