Hair loss caused by an itchy scalp can be extremely frustrating
and worrying for anyone, and if left untreated can cause permanent hair
loss and baldness resulting in conditions like cicatricial alopecia where the hair follicles are permanently damaged and the hair may never grow back.
It
is therefore imperative that you get your condition looked at and
diagnosed as soon as possible by a qualified professional, to halt the
hair loss problem in its tracks.
In saying this though, there are
many natural remedies and essential oils that have been used for
centuries by numerous civilizations to soothe, treat and cure itchy
scalp and hair loss problems. What's better is that you can make these
remedies in the comfort of your own home, using cheap and readily
available ingredients.
These natural remedies are seeing a revival
in modern times as more and more of us lose faith in the large
pharmaceutical companies, and we become aware of the growing amount of
evidence that shows that perhaps these huge corporations don't always
have our best interests at heart. I'm not saying they're all bad, just
that sometimes the so-called "modern" medicine can't see the wood for
the trees.
Well, that's my rant over with!:) Now, I'd like to show
you the top 3 essential oils that should be an "essential" part of any
itchy scalp hair loss first-aid kit. If I were going to be stranded on a
desert island and could only take 3 things with me, then these would be
it...well, maybe some sun tan lotion too!;)
Please note that
essential oils are normally highly concentrated and should therefore
always be patch tested prior to application, in case of any allergies or
irritation. Always consult your doctor prior to using any remedies or
essential oils if you are pregnant or on specific medication.
Top 3 Essential Oils For Itchy Scalp and Hair Loss
Lavender Oil
This
wonderful smelling oil is great at fighting off the nasty dandruff
fungi, itchy scalp, burning sensations and even lice. Highly popular in
aromatherapy, it's relaxing smell and anti-inflammatory properties make
it one of my faves.
It is particularly effective at stimulating hair growth when combined with other essential oils, like Rosemary.
Rosemary Oil
This
fantastic oil should be a part of your hair regrowth arsenal. With a
strong woodsy smell, this oil is used extensively in aromatherapy
treatments as it can increase concentration and eliminate boredom when
inhaled - particularly useful when studying for an exam.
When
massaged into the scalp, it can moisturize the skin, stimulate hair
follicles and cause the hair to regrow. It's excellent as an
anti-dandruff and itchy scalp remedy too, clearing most cases fairly
quickly.
It is particularly good if you naturally have oily hair.
Jojoba Oil
This
is an excellent oil for controlling dandruff and moisturizing your
scalp if it has become dry. It mimics your skin's own sebum and is
therefore great for hypoallergenic skin. Easily absorbed into the scalp
it helps remove deposits of sebum from the hair follicles and nourishes
the scalp with B & E vitamins and iodine. If you are suffering from
seborrheic dermatitis, eczema or psoriasis, and they are causing your
itchy scalp hair loss, then remedies containing jojoba oil can be very
effective at neutralizing the problem.
