Put an end to the snow blizzard once and for all!

• Home remedies for dandruff #1: A great herbal remedy is goldenseal. It contains berberine which is useful as an antibacterial and anti-fungal. Add two teaspoons of chopped root to a cup of hot water and let steep for 30 minutes. Strain and then add 4 drops of tea tree oil. Pour this slowly on your scalp while massaging it. Leave this in for 30 minutes and rinse out.


• Home remedies for dandruff #2: Mix a few drops of rosemary and lemon essential oils into a quarter cup of sesame oil. Massage this into the scalp thoroughly. Leave for 30 minutes and rinse out.


• Natural remedies for dandruff #3: While some go back and forth debating whether or not saturated fat can play a role in dandruff, it is believed by us that it can. We highly recommend that you reduce the amount of saturated fats in your diet. Replace these with healthy fats such as those in olive and sesame oils.


• Home remedies for dandruff #4: Most of us do not get enough omega 3 essential oils which have been found useful in fighting dandruff. Take 2 teaspoons of flax seed oil a day. Add fish, especially cold sea water fish like mackerel and Alaskan tuna, to your menu at least twice a week... 3 times is better.


• Herbal remedies for dandruff #5: Fenugreek is an herb that has been used for thousands of years and was even found in King Tuts tomb. Boil 2 teaspoons of crushed seeds in a cup of water. After boiling let it simmer for 10 minutes and then strain. Add a half of a teaspoon of honey and drink. You can drink up to 3 cups a day. This is a powerful herb so don`t give to children under six and start with a low dose for older children and those over 65. If unsure consult a knowledgeable herbalist or health care professional.


• Home remedies for dandruff #6: After shampooing rinse hair with a mixture of equal parts apple cider vinegar and water with a teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide.


• Natural remedies for dandruff #7: Try meditation and visualization. For many of you, you may think this is a bit hoeky. For hundreds of years doctors thought the stories of yogi`s and Buddhist monks being able to control things like body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure and so on were just myth and folk lore. Now we know it`s all true.

  With bio-feedback in the 1970`s science learned that we can learn to control almost every bodily function with conscious thought.

  A simple meditation is to sit straight in a chair... begin by focusing on the breath; after you feel calm and have done a couple of minutes of deep breathing, begin to imagine the toxins causing your dandruff are leaving your body in a gray fog each time you exhale.

  As you breath in imagine a blue healing light is entering your body and going to the scalp making it completely restored to vibrant health. Since stress is a factor in this condition, you will find that meditation is helpful in reducing stress as well. Try this for 10 - 15 minutes everyday. Exercise a little faith and watch a small miracle happen.

Remember that illness of any kind is an imbalance in the body, mind and spirit connection. Eat more fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, exercise, meditate and do daily deep breathing along with practicing a spiritual faith of your choosing.
