Say Goodbye to Itchy Scalp With Natural Remedies

Say Goodbye to Itchy Scalp With Natural Remedies

Are you tired of constantly scratching your head due to an itchy scalp? Don’t worry; you’re not alone. Say goodbye to itchy scalp with natural remedies. Itchy scalp is a common issue that can be caused by various factors such as dryness, dandruff, or even sensitivity to certain hair products. Besides the physical discomforts, dandruff can be socially embarrassing, having a negative effect on a persons’ quality of life in the form of psychological distress or low self-esteem, and a willingness to pay for relief of the symptoms. However, finding relief doesn’t always mean resorting to harsh chemicals or expensive treatments. Nature offers a plethora of remedies that can help soothe and heal your scalp naturally.

What Causes Dandruff

Before you can treat dandruff, you need to get an understanding of the cause. There are two conditions that lead to an itchy scalp; psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis.

Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease in which skin cells grow quickly and accumulate on the surface of your skin. Psoriasis patches are thick, red skin with silvery scales that can be itchy and tender to the touch and most commonly found on knees and elbows, but they can also show up on the scalp.

Seborrheic Dermatitis is another skin condition that can cause rough, scaly skin on the scalp and face. The common name for seborrheic dermatitis is dandruff. It’s usually found on the scalp and face, but it can appear elsewhere. It causes itchy patches of scaly skin that look white or yellow with a greasy appearance

The Burden of Treating Dandruff

Americans send $300 million annually on over-the-counter products to treat scalp itching and flaking. While seborrheic dermatitis is much less prevalent, outpatient office visits alone cost $58 million in the United States in 2004, and $109 million were spent on prescription drugs according to the NCBI study.

Together with over-the-counter products and hospital services, the total direct costs of seborrheic dermatitis were estimated to be $179 million, plus another $51 million indirect costs in the form of lost work days. In addition, because seborrheic dermatitis frequently occurs on the face and other visible areas, the willingness to pay for relief of the symptoms was $1.2 billion.

Treat and Manage Dandruff Naturally

Addressing dandruff, a common symptom associated with psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis, necessitates a holistic approach rather than a quick medical fix. Functional doctors often link these conditions to a buildup of toxins in the body, which eventually manifests on the skin’s surface, a phenomenon known as Leaky Gut Syndrome. To alleviate the symptom effectively, it’s essential to target the root cause. Dr. Axe emphasizes the importance of repairing your gut to combat these skin conditions.

Diving into the realm of natural solutions, commercial shampoos often exacerbate scalp irritation with their reliance on harsh chemicals like sodium lauryl/laureth sulfate, which strip away natural oils and aggravate conditions like psoriasis or seborrheic dermatitis.

How To Use a Shampoo Bar

Interest in using our Shampoo Bars has been on the rise for well over a decade now.  In recent years, we have been overwhelmed with questions about how to successfully transition into using them. If you have been considering trying one, or have tried one but didn’t like the results, here’s the inside scoop on what they are all about.

Wet your hair thoroughly. Take the bar and run it under the water, then rub the bar between your hands to create a rich foamy lather. At this point you can either rub the bar around your head until you create more later to wash your hair and scalp or just take the later you create in your hands and rub the lather on your hair to wash. You are washing your hair with the foamy lather. If you are new to using a shampoo bar we suggest that you start with by washing with the lather and not rubbing the bar of soap on your hair. You run the risk of having a gummy feeling if you don’t rinse off the soap properly. Rinse your hair thoroughly and repeat if desired and condition as needed. Make sure you don’t rush through the rinsing.
