Homeopathy Treatment for Dandruff – Is it Worth To Try?
Homeopathy Dandruff – Research Information
According to one of the UK’s leading medically qualified homoeopaths, Dr Andrew Lockie, there are quite a few homoeopathic treatments that can be very effective for combating dandruff.
According to Dr Lockie, you should try using sulphur if you find yourself persistently scratching your head at night or if your scalp burns and you have thick, heavy dandruff. Try massaging sulphur into your scalp three or four times a day for a period of to two weeks, and you should find that your dandruff eases considerably.
On the other hand, he suggests that sepia will soothe your scalp if it is greasy, moist and sensitive to the touch around the roots.
Homeopathy Dandruff – How to Use?
However, when you are massaging these soothing substances into your scalp (or any other substances for that matter), do take care that you do not massage it into your skull too vigorously. Studies have indicated that if you are too vigorous and energetic, you will damage your hair around the roots which can speed up your natural hair loss process. Consequently, you should try to avoid significant amounts of contact between your fingernails and your hair, particularly around the roots, because it is your nails that are likely to cause most damage, and damage makes your hair fall out much more quickly.
Homeopathy Dandruff – Treatment Steps
A third option that is propounded by Dr Lockie is to use oleander if you feel that the palpable irritation from your dandruff is worsened by heat, or if you feel as if your head is covered in insect bites.
All three substances suggested by Dr Lockie can be obtained at health food stores and possibly some pharmacies as well.
Homeopathy Dandruff – Some Research
According to some research, adding flaxseed oil to your diet can help to significantly reduce the amount of oil that your skin secretes, and as we have already seen, it is the sebum that your skin secretes that provides the Malassezia yeast with something to feed and thrive on. It is believed that two or three teaspoonfuls of flaxseed oil every day (or the equivalent amount in capsules) will significantly reduce the amount of sebum you secrete, thereby reducing the ‘yeast food’ on your scalp which should in turn reduce your dandruff as well.
