Come monsoon and you have that unruly and tangled hair to deal
with. But look close on the scalp. What’s that white powered things playing on
the scalp and at the roots of the hair? Yes, these are the dandruff. Dandruff
has often put you in that embarrassing situation before your friends and
colleagues. No, it cannot be left untreated after that. Homeopathy treatment for dandruff is an affordable and effective
treatment for the problem.
Signs of Dandruff
Dandruff is often mistaken as dry scalp. But is actually is more
than that. Redness and irritation of the scalp is also seen in some people.
Dandruff is a medical problem that affects every second person. It could happen
to people in any age group particularly teenagers.
The signs of dandruff may differ from person to person. Dandruff
may exhibit periodic patterns on some people. It could clear off for some time
only to recur mostly in rainy season and winters. But again some people do not exhibit any
dandruff on their scalp but only notice them on their shoulders and dark
clothes. But people with acute dandruff experience severe itching and shedding
of flakes leading to social embarrassment.
But the question on the growth of dandruff during the monsoons and
the rainy season needs to be explored. Research
and experiments have concluded that three factors work collectively for the
dandruff to occur on the scalp. These are: fungus, sebum and skin irritation.
Fungus the main culprit
The scalp is a unique environment—dark, warm, and moist; quite
appropriate for the growth of the fungus, Malassezia. The growth of the fungus
is more during the moist rainy seasons. This fungus is efficient enough to
break down the scalp oil or sebum into smaller materials or fatty acids. These
fatty acids cause irritation to some people resulting in dandruff flakes. The
other symptoms associated with the dandruff flakes like itching and dryness are
also experienced by people.
The skin irritation potentials also dictate the extent of the
dandruff flakes on the scalp. Some of us can be very sensitive to fatty acids. The
reaction to irritating fatty acids in such people can significantly be very
high. While it could be just mild in many people if they are not very
susceptible to the irritating fatty acids.
Homeopathy treatment for
dandruff
There are many anti-dandruff shampoos available in the market that
claim to eradicate the flakes and the dandruff from the scalp. But the shampoos
do not treat the cause of the dandruff and can be used as a temporary
treatment.
The natural treatment of Homeopathy for dandruff seems to be
quite effective. Homeopathy treats not just the disease but the very root of
the disease. The treatment for dandruff is also similar in Homeopathy. It does
not just treat the symptoms, but the cause as well. The best part of the
treatment is that there are no side effects of it. Further the remedies can be
customized specifically for the case i.e. the person with the symptoms. Some of
the homeopathy remedies:
- Kali Sulph for profuse creamish- yellow scaly dandruff
- Phosphurous for dandruff with falling of hair
- Thuja for white Scally dandruff
- Sanicula for scaly dandruff
- Badiaga for sore and dry scalp
