Dandruff
Ayurveda Solutions
Flaking of the scalp skin is known as dandruff. The real cause is yet to be established. However, the presumption is that it is due to over-activity or under-activity of the gland called sebaceous.
Itching and flaking of the scalp skin are the symptoms.
Remedies :
a) Apply on scalp paste made of fenugreek soaked in water overnight and grinded in the morning and yogurt in equal proportion. This should be applied 1-2 hours prior to morning bath.
b) Apply on scalp 3 teaspoons of lemon juice mixed with one teaspoon of sandal oil before one hour of going to morning bath. c) Use ayurvedic shapoo.
d) Use pure coconut oil free from water content as hair oil.
