How to get rid of dandruff?

Dandruff is a common hair problem that might affect nearly about 50 percent of the population.  The common symptoms might be itchy scalp, flakiness, greasy patches on the scalp and tingling sensation of the skin. Some of the underlying causes might be dry skin, seborrhea, dermatitis, sensitivity to hair products like shampoos, hair oils or hair creams and also caused due to fungal infections.

Some natural remedies could be more effective than the conventional methods to remove dandruff and to name some of them here,

• Apply Tea Tree oil which acts an anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory
• Freshly prepared coconut milk then heated to make oil could be effective to remove dandruff
• Application of aloe vera from a fresh-cut leaf could act as an antibacterial and antifungal, which could bring down the symptoms of dandruff.
• Minimize stress levels through the practice of yoga and meditation. Also bringing a balance of your work and life could also be an additional way to bring down the stress.

Although dandruff is a very simple problem at times it could be a frustrating problem, with plenty of natural remedies available that could help you to reduce symptoms and provide faster relief.

Scalp is a part of the skin. Skin can eliminate when the body has accumulated a lot of toxins and the excretory organs are also sluggish. You need to first eliminate all animal products like meat diary eggs fish and consciously start consuming a lot of juice and fruits on a daily basis until dinner. Avoid eating excess grains too. This will address the issue. Excess acidity build up causes dandruff that would become unmanageable.

हेलो,

कारण - आँत में inflammation के कारण सिर के त्वचा के ऊपरी परत की नमी ख़त्म हो जाती है। सिर की त्वचा की सबसे ऊपरी पतली परत जब निष्क्रिय हो जाती है तो वह पपड़ी की तरह हटने लगती है जिसे रूसी कहते हैं। रूसी निकलते समय त्वचा पर खुजली होती है और खुजलाने पर वहां की त्वचा कभी कभी लाल हो जाती है।

समाधान - अर्धसिरशासन करें इससे रक्त संचार में शुद्धि आएगी। सर पर सूती कपड़ा बाँध कर उसके ऊपर खीरा और मेहंदी या करी पत्ते का पेस्ट लगाएँ,नाभि पर खीरा का पेस्ट लगाएँ।पैरों को 20 मिनट के लिए सादे पानी से भरे किसी बाल्टी या टब में डूबो कर रखें। रासायनिक शैंपू के जगह रीठा, आँवला, के मिश्रण से सिर धोएँ।
