Dandruff is so common now that many of us use an anti-dandruff shampoo in our daily routine without giving much thought to the harmful chemicals we are exposing to our scalp. Skip the anti-dandruff shampoo and switch to a regular mild one. Here is a simple, harmless, yet potent combination of herbs that relieves and clears up dandruff.
Ingredients:
Use dry powdered form of each of the following for ease of use.
Tulsi (Holy Basil) x 1 tbspn
Brahmi x 1 tbspn
Neem x 1 tbspn
Fenugreek Seeds (Methi seeds) x 1 tbspn
Fresh Lemon juice x 1/2 a lemon
Method:
Mix the dry powders. Mix 1 – 2 tablespoons (depending on your hair length) of the powdered blend with just enough lemon to make a smooth paste. If you have mixed extra powder, store away the dry blend in an airtight jar for the next use.
If you have cuts or scabs caused by dandruff or other hair problems do not use lemon. Use plain water instead. Apply to the roots/scalp only covering the whole head. You do not need to cover the hair, just the scalp. Leave on for about 15 to 20 minutes. If you are short on time, leaving it on for just 5 minutes will also show positive results. Rinse, shampoo, and condition as normal.
Neem leaves contain sufficient
quantity of natural Calcium, Proteins, Iron, and Vitamin A. Neem is one of the
most useful ingredients to help cure chronic skin conditions like dandruff. It
is also a natural antiseptic, so if there are any cuts or scabs it acts as a
wonderful medicinal healer for the scalp. Neem controls the natural oil balance
of the scalp while it helps clear dandruff.
Brahmi not only controls dandruff, it strengthens hair roots
and helps make hair dark, dense, and lustrous while helping prevent premature graying
of hair.
Tulsi protects and moisturizers the scalp while helping clear
dandruff. It is also a wonderful natural antibacterial.
Fenugreek (methi seeds) is a wonderful
agent to help remove impurities from the scalp that cause dandruff in the first
place. It helps purify the skin while naturally conditioning it.
Lemon when used helps prevent dandruff from returning and also adds a wonderful shine
to the hair.
