Jojoba’s Witness to Cleaning Up Dandruff


Topically, jojoba oil is one of the best herbal remedies to help your dandruff problem. When applied to the scalp at night and shampooed out the next day, the oil of the jojoba plant will nourish your skin and eliminate dandruff. Some people like to add a drop or two to styled hair for extra shine.
Sometimes dandruff is just your scalp’s way of telling you that your skin needs nourishment. A great combination of herbs to feed the skin, hair, and nails includes dulse, horsetail, sage, and rosemary. Dulse supports the thyroid, and horsetail is rich in silicon to nourish hair, skin, nails, and even teeth. Sage contains zinc and B vitamins that nourish the brain. And we already talked about rosemary’s usefulness for treating dandruff. When combined, these herbs make a great combination for dandruff. Your blood carries nutrients to all parts of your body, and an excellent herb to increase blood supply to the head area is ginkgo biloba. This herb is great for memory loss, too If your dandruff is caused by stress, a B-complex vitamin can help you with that. Other nutrients include beta carotene, vitamin A, and lecithin. Lecithin is a good brain food as well and is used to help the circulatory system.
With any problems affecting the hair, you also might want to have your thyroid checked. The thyroid takes part in regulating the metabolism, and problems with the thyroid can cause hair loss and other symptoms. Also make sure that you do not have high cholesterol, which could interfere with proper circulation.

Dandruff can be removed by massaging the hair for half an hour with curd which has been kept in the open for three days, or with a few drops of lime juice mixed with indian gooseberry juice every night, before going to bed. Another measure which helps to counteract dandruff is to dilute cider vinegar with an equal quantity of water and dab this on to the hair with cotton wool inbetween shampooing. Cider vinegar added to the final rinsing water after shampooing also helps to disperse dandruff.
