Dear Serge.
this is not a regular phenomenon may be rarely seen in about 2 % people after the massage.

there are many reasons for this to happen.
1.as you say he may be allergic to dhanwantram or other oils . so always , as in my clinic we see the body type and the oil is selected as it may increase the dosha momentarily or temporarily.( so in his case the vata and pitta must have increased)
2. ask the person after a massage to avoid cold or even hot drinks since that can aggravate the dosha causing such problems.
3. regular massage and khizi for a pitta person can also give such problems.

steam or hot shower is usually advised after the massage. as it helps our cells to vasodilate and help oils to absorp more easily.
so a warm shower may be asked after the treatment or a steam

I have been suggested to use triphala oil for hair loss... Do you also recommend the same?

well triphala as we aleady know, is a rejuvenator. so the oil from this is also good. usually this oil could be used for many puposes like nasyam, for hairloss, and also for dandruff .
using regularly this oil for hairloss is good.

Triphala helps to actual constipation, cleanses and tonify the gastro intestinal tract.Triphala is commonly used as a aliment supplement like vitamins are in Western countries.Triphala helps to decrease top blood pressure and hypertension and improves blood circulation.
