bitt: I just started taking msm (orally) and noticed the cream in the health food store. good idea.. i’m going to try it.
Oh, and the 25% is stuff like..popcorn, decaf cold-brewed coffee, sprouted bread, tofu (rarely), steamed veggies/rice & once in a while some junky (doritos) or something like that.. but i’m gearing to quit the junk food now.
beany: I was on no poo for about 5 1/2 months. I agree that no poo lessened the dandruff a bit..or I should say that I believe shampoo may strip my scalp & then produces too much oil or something.. I tend to have an alkaline system. I firmly believe this is a fungus/parasite problem. What is a parasite cleanse? I’ll have to google that..
TomsMom: You saved me the day!! I tried a vinegar rinse immediately after reading this and the itch went away! .. I’m fearful this won’t last because I used to ‘no poo’ & used baking soda & vinegar..but eventually the itch returns. I hateee having to wash and wash my hair everyday – especially in the cold winter months!
ikn: I’m all for this! going to pick up some tea tree oil & vitamin e at the health food store. thanks!
I used to have a really bad scalp problem until I started using a natural shampoo-Jason’s Natural Comestics Dandruff Relief shampoo. It has MSM, Neem oil, Tea Tree oil, Colloidal Sulfur, and Rosemary. I have recently starting seeing my dandruff return as well as a itchy scalp, but I have also decreased the amount of fat in my diet and I’m not sure if that may be a reason for my returning scalp problem.
jenoz funny you bring up this topic because my itchiness is “flaring” badly right now ( and my daughter has been sick & my mom had a stroke yesterday) I noticed when i’m tired it gets worse or feels more itchy. So what you are saying makes total sense to me. thanks.
A sage and rosemary tea w/ a drop of olive oil may be a good spritz to consider for inbetween washings if it itches. I was reading about homemade shampoos last night. I suds up my hair but was researching alternatives and sage/rosemary were good…so was lavender.
