Do you have a dry, itchy, flaky scalp? Is it sore, red and painful? Do you suffer from dandruff?

Fear not because help is at hand. Although an itchy scalp and dandruff can be frustrating, they can also be solved using natural treatments instead of having to resort to the strong synthetic drugs produced by the pharmaceutical industry. After all, nature has provided us with natural cures for our ailments, so we might as well make use of them.

Whether you're suffering from dandruff, psoriasis, ringworm, or just simply a sore scalp, you can use natural remedies to soothe, alleviate and ultimately cure your dry, itchy scalp condition.

Here I'm going to show you 3 excellent little home remedies that are cheap, cheerful, and quick to prepare.

Itchy Scalp Home Remedy No. 1

Fenugreek seeds are excellent for getting rid of dandruff:

Take 2 tablespoons of fenugreek seeds and soak overnight in water


In the morning grind the soft seeds into a fine paste


Apply this paste all over scalp and leave for half an hour


Rinse off thoroughly with soap nut solution


A teaspoon of lime juice on the last rinse will work wonders

You should brush your hair daily to improve the circulation and remove any flakiness caused by dandruff. The scalp should also be massaged thoroughly daily, to improve circulation, remove excess dirt and dead skin cells, and encourage hair growth. It only takes a few minutes to perform. Spread your fingers fanwise and slip them through the hair. With your thumb pressed behind your ears, press down on your scalp with your fingertips. Now rotate your fingers so that they move the scalp over the bony structure of the head. You'll feel your skin move and the scalp tingle. Move up an inch at a time until you have covered the whole head.

Itchy Scalp Home Remedy No. 2

To relieve itching, natural oils such as German Chamomile, Eucalyptus, and Lavender can have a profound soothing effect when mixed together and dabbed locally on affected areas. Using Neem oil can significantly help to prevent dandruff and is often used to relieve conditions like psoriasis and eczema.

Add these oils to water (4 parts water to 1 part oil) and spray directly onto the scalp and/or add to your shampoo and conditioners also to alleviate your itchy scalp.

(Note: You should patch test all oils first before application, and you MUST consult a doctor if you are pregnant before starting any treatment).

Itchy Scalp Home Remedy No. 3

Birch was used by native Americans to clear up skin irritations. It can be used effectively for modern problems such as psoriasis, eczema etc.

Boil the bark of birch trees in water


Strain the mixture


Once cooled, apply to the scalp to help clear up your itchy scalp sores.
