Dry scalp - Home remedy for fast relief

Dry scalp is often accompanied by itching, flaking and sometimes redness. It is caused by either genetics, environmental factors or skin conditions such as seborrheic eczema. New research mentions fungi found in the environment as the main cause for this condition which makes it hard to treat.

For Mask - Face & Hair

1/2 ripe Avocado

Leave it on your face for half an hour and on your scalp for 1 hour.

In addition, supplementing with flax seed oil, fish oil with Omega 3's and 6's is beneficial in nourishing your body from the inside.

I would consult with a good Naturopathic Practitioner before starting any supplement program.

All natural ingredients will not harm your skin or body as chemicals can.But, in the event that you have an allergic reaction than stop using.
