Dandruff May Be Alleviated by the Use of Herbs

Dandruff is seborrhea dermatitis and causes white flakes to form on the scalp.

It is usually very itchy and causes redness.

Dandruff has also been linked to heredity, stress and climate, being worse in

the winter months than the summer months.

Many people claim that diet and lack of certain nutritional components cause or

make dandruff worse. Eating a lot of greasy or high fat foods, dairy products

and chocolate could be the cause of your flaky scalp.

People who have a diet low in the B vitamin biotin are also known to have

dandruff. Foods rich in biotin are soybeans, brewers yeast, sardines, egg yolks

and mushrooms.

Other vitamins also play a role in scalp health, especially B1, B2, vitamin A,

omega-6, selenium and zinc. Getting these nutrients as supplements or by

choosing a whole food diet may alleviate your dandruff problems.

Some remedies that are worth trying include, tea tree oil, vitamin E oil,

flaxseed oil, grapefruit seed extract, and apple cider vinegar. Grapefruit seed

oil and tea tree oil can be added to your regular shampoo. Flaxseed and vitamin

E oils can be put on the scalp at night and washed out in the morning. Apple

cider vinegar can be mixed half and half with water and spritzed onto your hair

and scalp. Cover your head with a towel and leave it on from 15 minutes to an

hour. Wash your hair as normal. This can be done 2 times a week.
