About Neem, Camphor and Coconut Oil
Hi there. My name is Vikram and I have a chronic dandruff problem. Though I have not been able to cure my dandruff, I have been able to control it. Today I am going to share what worked for me in my fight against dandruff.
Let me begin by explaining what causes dandruff. As per Mayo Clinic’s website dandruff can have several causes like dry scalp, irritated oily scalp, not shampooing enough, psoriasis, eczema, sensitivity to hair care products, and a yeast like fungus called malassezia. Yuck!
Some cool facts about dandruff.
Dandruff usually begins in young adulthood and continues through middle age. Men have more dandruff than women which makes some researchers believe that male harmones play a role in dandruff. Men also have larger oil producing glands on their scalp which may cause dandruff.
Oily hair and scalp triggers a yeast like fungal growth leading to dandruff. Poor diet can also lead to dandruff. If your diet is poor in zinc, vitamin B and certain types of fats you can get dandruff.
Now I will share my secret dandruff home remedies which worked for me.
Remedy 1) For the first home remedy you need fenugreek seeds, 5 teaspoons of lemon juice, a shower cap, and a towel to wrap around your head.
Soak handfull of fenugreek seeds overnight. Grind the seeds. Mix it with 4 teaspoons lemon juice. Apply the paste on your scalp and leave it on for 6 to 8 hours. By this time the paste would have dried. Brush off the fenugreek powder, soak a towel in hot water and wrap around your head. Leave it on for ten minutes. Shampoo your hair with a mild shampoo. I use Jhonson and Jhonson baby shampoo. After shampooing massage your hair while it it still wet with a mizture of quater teaspoon of olive and 2 drops of lemon juice. This home remedy is very effective and works like a charm.
Remedy 2) For the second remedy you need neem leaves.
Take a handfull of neem leaves – wikipedia pages for neem leaves are given in the description below – and boil it in a cup of water. Stain the water and let it cool down. Wash your hair with this water 2 to 3 times a week and say bye bye to dandruff.
Remedy 3) Finally the third and the simplest home remedy in my fight against dandruff. For this you need coconut oil and camphor. As usual the wikipedia pages for these two ingredients are given in the description.
Heat 3 table spoons of coconut oil and add a cake of camphor. Heat on slow flame till the camphor dissolves completly. Let the mixture cool. Massage your hair with this magic potion. Why am I feeling like Hermione. Wash with mild shampoo after 4-8 hours.
