Dandruff is a prevalent condition that causes the skin on the scalp to flake, greasy patches, and itchy skin.

Dandruff is a menace to both health and confidence. In fact, it can easily be treated. Aloe vera is the most effective home remedy to treat dandruff. 

Aloe vera in ointment, gel, or even raw form is an effective remedy for burns and wounds. Most people don’t know that it is also very efficient in treating dandruff.

Numerous studies were conducted regarding this matter, and all came to the same conclusion that aloe vera is very effective in treating seborrheic dermatitis, a skin condition that causes dandruff.

Aloe vera is rich in minerals, fatty acids, and vitamins. It has both antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. For this reason, it is used to treat wounds, skin irritation, and burns.

Aloe vera’s anti-itching properties can significantly reduce the scalp irritation, and its antifungal properties can reduce the dandruff. Both these benefits of aloe vera were verified by the research done in 2015.

Dandruff comes along with irritation and itching, and this can cause inflammation. There are enzymes in aloe vera which can reduce the inflammation caused by dandruff. 

A small study was concluded involving 25 people; results showed that regular topical application of aloe vera is an effective form of treatment to cure dandruff.

All these qualities make aloe vera a perfect home remedy for treating dandruff.

Other benefits of Aloe vera includes:

  • Sunburn
  • Small abrasions
  • Cuts
  • Dry skin
  • Frostbite
  • Cold sores
  • Eczema
  • Psoriasis
  • Inflammatory acne

Aloe vera has a wide range of therapeutic uses, especially for skin and your scalp. Being a natural product, there is no risk of getting any side effects.

    So many people are not aware that scalp therapy shampoos for fast hair growth (obviously without any sulfates, parabens or DEA) are a thing. Folks are now able to experience longer hair and achieve more options. Definitely worth exploring.

    When you’re discussing alopecia, damaged hair, preventing skin disorders, fast hair growth, hair care normally, the same principles come to mind.

    In general, you will want to stay away from hair products and treatments that use chemicals such as parabens, DEA and sulfates.

    What is beneficial for your hair is good for your skin also.

    Clearly your content on this page is spot on for so many reasons. It steers away from the usual traps and traps too many fall into: using horrible alternatives. Greatly appreciated!
