Dandruff

What you need to know:

Dandruff can be horribly embarrassing - particularly to the image-conscious young person - but there are some natural remedies which might help stop the production of yeast which causes the condition:
  • Rub Tea tree oil into the scalp. Leave it for an hour then wash off with Tea tree oil shampoo followed by Tea tree conditioner. It has to be said that the smell of Tea tree oil isn’t exactly attractive, but it’s a powerful antiseptic and anti-fungal, developed in Australia, where it’s used to treat skin conditions in cattle

  • Eat lots of Garlic and take Garlic pills

  • Cut down on sugar and refined carbohydrates in cakes, sweets and biscuits. Yeast infections thrive on sugar
