Are there any alternative/traditional methods to cure dandruff?”
I was told that shampoos with tea tree oil and/or lavendar oil will reduce the symptoms of dandruff. I used them periodically with moderate results. Recently, however, I learned that “A study published in [a recent] issue of the New England Journal of Medicine suggests that repeated topical use of products containing lavender oil and/or tea tree oil may cause prepubertal gynecomastia, a rare condition resulting in enlarged breast tissue in boys prior to puberty, and for which a cause is seldom identified.” I’ve stopped using shampoo with these ingredients and returned to Head & Shoulders.
