Home Remedies for Dandruff.
The term dandruff generally refers to the condition of the skin wherein shiny, silvery scales
separate from the scalp and collect amidst the hair. The condition can become troublesome when
the skin gets infected.
When the hair is combed or brushed, or when the scalp is scratched, the scales from the scalp fall
like snowflakes and settle on the eye brows, shoulders, and clothes. These scales sometimes
appear as lumps or crusts on the scalp. Often there is itching as well and the scalp may become
red from scratching.
The main causes of dandruff are impairment of general health, development of a toxic condition
mainly due to taking of wrong foods, constipation, and a low vitality due to infectious diseases.
Other factors contributing to this disorder are emotional tension, harsh shampoos, exposure to
cold, and general exhaustion.
