Yes. Eladi is discussed for scalp concerns including itchiness, dandruff, redness and psoriasis. If the reason for applying an Ayurvedic oil to the scalp is active irritation or discomfort, Eladi is the more relevant of the two oils discussed in the workshop.
Why Eladi fits an itchy or troubled scalp
Eladi is primarily positioned around soothing and healing rather than pigmentation. The broader skin concerns discussed for it include itchiness, rashes, inflammation and troubled skin conditions. That same purpose explains why it is considered relevant when similar discomfort appears on the scalp.
How this differs from Nalpamaradi
Nalpamaradi has a different primary role. It is mainly a pigmentation-focused oil and is not presented as a hair-growth oil. On the scalp it may provide moisturisation, but if the problem you are trying to address is itchiness, dandruff, redness or psoriasis, Eladi is the more targeted choice in this teaching.
Choose by the concern, not the location
This illustrates a useful principle that applies throughout the workshop. Do not decide between Nalpamaradi and Eladi simply by asking whether you are applying the product to the face, body or scalp. Both oils can have more than one application area. The better question is what problem you are trying to solve in that area.
What this does not mean
Using Eladi on the scalp for the concerns discussed does not turn it into a general hair-growth oil. The workshop’s reason for choosing it is the condition of the scalp itself: itching, dandruff, redness or the other troubled-skin concerns discussed. Keeping the purpose clear prevents a targeted skin oil from being treated as though it promises every possible hair benefit.
The useful takeaway
If the scalp itself is itchy, red, flaky or otherwise troubled in the ways discussed in the workshop, Eladi is the more relevant oil. Choose it because of the scalp concern, not because it is simply an oil that can be put on hair.
