Imbalance of Kapha results in excessive production of sebum that clogs the pores of the skin resulting in papule formation. Orange helps to manage this condition due to its Kapha balancing and Kashaya (astringent) properties. It helps prevent excessive sebum production and removes the collected dirt or dust particles resulting in healthy skin. Orange also promotes hair growth and removes excessive dryness from scalp and hair due to its Snigdha (oily) and Ropan (healing) properties.
