What are some natural remedies for dandruff?
Dandruff is the shedding of skin on the scalp, and is evident in white flakes on the head and shoulders. It can be caused by fungal infections, poor diet, stress, hormonal imbalances, immune suppression, or the increased use of chemical hair preparations. Natural remedies for dandruff are often used as a preventative and treatment. Tea tree oil is an essential oil from the leaves of the native Australian plant, Melaleuca alternifolia. It is a powerful anti-fungal agent and antiseptic. Tea tree oil shampoos are effective natural remedies for dandruff, and can be found in natural health food stores and some drug stores.
