Guest guest Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 Hi Glen! Rosemary added to shampoo, or steeped in water to make a rinse, can be good for dandruff, as well as any mint. I have also heard that adding honey can help too. Hope this helps some. Jen - Glen herbal remedies Thursday, May 12, 2005 4:18 PM Herbal Remedies - Dandruff Hey folks,Anyone had chronic dandruff?

Alternatively you could also use Head and Shoulder’s shampoo (zinc is the active ingredient). The key is leaving it on your scalp overnight as the selenium or zinc will actually kill this fungus.However if you eliminate the fungus you still need to correct the reason why they chose your scalp to invade and multiply. Typically that is related to an imbalance in the fats you are eating.Dandruff, as well as other dry-skin conditions, can often be a sign that you have a fatty acid imbalance. This is a very common problem, as your standard American diet (SAD) is far higher in omega-6 than omega-3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 A simple, healthy and unexpensive remedy for dandruff: after washing put some vinegar (white or apple cider) on your hair for a couple of minutes. Rinse off or leave it on (the odor will disappear). The first times you use it it might sting a bit but afterwards you don't feel it and you don't have to do it each time you wash your hair. Works like a charm. ))) Yannic On Fri, Mar 14, 2008 at 7:45 AM, Jane MacRoss <highfield1 wrote: We don't have them here - do you have them there? - Kenn Johnsen Friday, March 14, 2008 10:36 AM Re: Dandruff How about indian soapnuts, they can be used for everything.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Years ago, when I started to eat only fruits, vegetables, whole grains, see vegetables, healthy herbs for spices, coconut oil and virgin olive oil, my dandruff almost disappeared. Then I was told that the shampoos are not helping the problem and I started to use borax and rinsed my hair with citric acid... now the dandruff is all gone... my hair is shiny and thicker than ever before... This may not sound too good to most people, as I found out, but it truly works.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 i know ther are many things that may help-but diet is essential---- i also have a scalp problem and have used everything but i still have it years later- the best shampoo i have used is nizoral-doesn't rid it but keeps it tamed down enough that it is undetectable -however-i myself will till try anything advised--nizoral is expensive -use it 2-3 times per week for 2 weeks -then once per week after-you can then use it every second or third time you wash--you will only need a tiny amount so it works out cheaper-leave it on for a couple of minutes--i usually wash with cheap shampoo-rinse then put it on and then rub my scalp gently with finger nails to ensure it gets in under problem areas-it is very gentle. it may help till you find an answer-but nervousness (stress) and cheap shampoo and diet can contribute to problem ________________________________ Ingrid <molokai_duo Wednesday, 27 May, 2009 7:28:06 PM Re: DANDRUFF Years ago, when I started to eat only fruits, vegetables, whole grains, see vegetables, healthy herbs for spices, coconut oil and virgin olive oil, my dandruff almost disappeared.
