Traditional and
Natural Dandruff Treatments
Boric Acid
Boric acid is a very old remedy for treating dandruff, and
is freely available from your chemist.
Moisten with a little water and rub well into the scalp,
then rinse out thoroughly with warm water.
This should be carried out just before you shampoo your hair
in the normal way.
Rosemary
An infusion of fresh rosemary made with boiling water and
allowed to cool till it is warm, makes a good final rinse to
help clear the scalp.
Thyme
Thyme is reputed to have mild antiseptic properties that can
help alleviate dandruff.
Make an effective rinse by boiling 4 heaped tablespoons of
dried thyme in 2 cups of water for 10 minutes.
Strain the brew and allow it to cool.
Pour half the mixture over clean damp hair, making sure the
liquid covers the scalp.
Massage in gently. Do not rinse.
Save the rest for later use.
Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is poured over the hair, massaged into
the scalp, and left to dry for a few minutes.
Then the hair is washed.
The process is repeated daily until the dandruff disappears,
usually within a few days.
