Dandruff

Dandruff appears when the sebaceous (oil producing) glands in the scalp secrete abnormally. Scales form which may become infected, itch and flake.

Natural Practices recommend:

Cleavers & Burdock Formula
This is an internal herbal formula that assists in the detoxification of the liver and assists the skin in cleansing. It has anti-fungal properties which can often be at the root of dandruff.

Zambesia Botanica Scalp Application
A moisturising & soothing application to help improve & maintain scalp condition

Neem Oil
Used in Ayurvedic medicine in the treatment of a wide range of afflictions. It is healing to the skin, moisturising and anti-fungal - it should have an effect if used consecutively for 10 nights.

If dandruff keeps occurring there may be a root cause such as Candida. This is an overgrowth of fungus within the body. Please see 'Candidiasis' under this Ailments section for further details.
