        abstract = {Dandruff, a most common dermatological disorder, is an unpleasant, chronic and pruritic scalp condition. This study is about to know the activity of polyherbal formulation against a dandruff causing organism malassezia furfur which was cultured from human dandruff sample. Dandruff, a common scalp condition, can be exacerbated by factors such as fungal infections, dry skin, and inflammation. This research investigates the phytochemical constituents of Phyla nodiflora, including flavonoids, terpenoids, and saponins, which may contribute to its antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties. In vitro assays demonstrated that extracts of Phyla nodiflora effectively inhibited the growth of Malassezia furfur, a fungus commonly associated with dandruff. Additionally, topical application of the extract on experimental models showed a significant reduction in scalp inflammation and flaking. These findings suggest that Phyla nodiflora possesses potential as a natural antidandruff agent, offering a viable alternative to conventional treatments.},
