Herbal Remedies for Scalp Conditions
In natural medicine, scalp conditions are usually associated with fungal infections, such as ringworm, or a food allergy to pasteurized dairy products (cheese, milk), wheat, and many processed foods. Following a diet that limits these foods and emphasizes whole grains, legumes, vegetables and fruit in season is important.
Remedies include stimulating and healing herbs for the scalp and hair. Use nettles and rosemary internally and all of the herbs externally as a rinse for the scalp and hair. Dry brush massage daily will help increase circulation to the scalp and improve elimination.
