dandruff

Any natural methods to cure dandruff? I have fairly severe dandruff, for quite some time. I tried apple cider vinegar, the stuff is too strong and I take the public transport with people bunched up. So can't do that.

Thanks.

Hi, My husband had dandruff problem for several years and it was completely cured with the raw diet, along with asthma and breathing problems.

We always think of dandruff as a separate issue, but sometimes it is NOT. Often the "flaky" scalp results from toxins that are eliminated from the scalp. As his asthma cleared, and teh toxins were eliminated through several detoxifications, the scalp started to clear. He no longer has dandruff. We didn't even notice that until after a few months and I asked him how come yopur scalp is absolutlely clean and has no more flakes and itch and rashes that he had before. Thats when he even noticied how clean it was.

Hope this helps. Stick with the raw diet. After detox is done, and the body eliminates the toxins the scalp will clear.

Take care
A Iyer

I used to get dandruff occasionally but I've never had in since I've been raw.

Wheatgrass juice is supposed to help. Haven't tried it myself, but it's pretty cheap to get a shot and just massage it in. =)

I had dandruff, and no dandruff shampoo (natural or not) worked until I tried this kind from Avalon Organics [www.avalonorganics.com] I think it worked because it doesn't have sodium lauryl sulphate, which many react too. I can use anything without it now, and still don't have dandruff. Nothing else at all worked! Good luck!

Try not going so heavy on the shampoos or try a much more mild one and keep the hair moisturized or more to it's natural state I would think is a good idea. Shampoos can be very drying and be part of the problem.

For the first week I started washing with only water and quit all shampoos and conditioner, I had a wild dandruff breakout. Like... trying to quickly tie up my hair on the way out the door to work and HOLY COW. Then it completely subsided and my scalp is happy, now. Chemicals could be irritants, too.

dilute the acv and put in on the scalp for a while before you wash it.
or coconut oil on the scalp in the same way.

Thanks guys.

I currently massage my scalp with almond oil and then fresh lemon juice. Doesn't seem to work much.

Let me try the organic shampoo and see how that goes.

Thanks all.
