Itching in the head is a common problem. Surprisingly, many people ignore this problem. But while an itchy scalp may seem inconsequential, it can actually be a sign of a bigger problem.
Since the scalp is a part of your skin, itching in this area of your body may indicate poor dermis health. Also, it can lead to poor hair growth. If this persists, it can lead to hair loss and bald patches. This condition can be caused by eczema, skin infection, rashes or dandruff. For severe skin diseases like eczema, you should consult your doctor about how to control the problem.
More often than not, it can be treated with the help of herbal remedies. Following are some of the most effective herbal remedies that you should try:
1. Aloe vera
Aloe vera is a great natural remedy when it comes to skin care. It has moisturizing properties that can relieve dryness of the dermis. It can also soothe tired, irritated and agitated skin.
For this, you have to keep an aloe vera leaf in the fridge. Once it cools down a bit, open the leaves. Rub the gel inward on the affected areas of your scalp. The cool temperature of the gel can relieve itching. This remedy can also strengthen hair follicles and encourage healthy hair growth.
2. Tea tree
Tea tree oil works wonders in treating acne and pimples. But it is also a wonderful remedy for itchy scalp. It also encourages healthy production of sebum in the sebaceous glands so that your scalp will not be dry and itchy. In addition, it rejuvenates and energizes the scalp to revive the functions of the cells and follicles.
First of all dissolve the tea tree in water. Put a little mixture on a cotton ball. Apply it on the affected area. Use this remedy before sleeping.
3. Neem leaves
Neem is considered a miraculous herb in Ayurvedic medicine. It is often used for many ailments including skin diseases. The best thing about this herb is that it naturally has fungicidal and insecticidal properties. If you are suffering from scalp infection caused by fungus or other micro-organisms, then this will work well for you.
Try rubbing neem oil on itchy areas of your scalp. Let it stay there overnight for better results.
Herbal remedies help heal an itchy scalp without causing major damage to your hair follicles. So try this miraculous remedy today itself.
