Say Goodbye to Itchy Scalp This Monsoon
The rainy season brings with it a much-awaited break from the sweltering heat of summer but it is also known to bring with it a host of hair and skin problems. The increased humidity and frequent drenching in the rain can make your hair more prone to bacterial and fungal infections. This increases the possibility of hair problems like dandruff, dry hair, and itchy scalp. Ideally, an itchy scalp indicates unhealthy hair. It could also be an indication of underlying skin conditions such as psoriasis or eczema.
To understand the underlying reason and prevent infections, speak to our homeopathic expert.
The two most common causes of itchy scalp are as follows:
-
Dandruff or Seborrheic Dermatitis:
Frequent exposure to rainwater can lead to the accumulation of dead skin cells on the scalp. This affects the health of your scalp and causes the formation of dandruff. A severe form of dandruff is known as seborrheic dermatitis. The symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis include flakes and itchiness with red inflamed skin.
-
Inflammatory Conditions:
Scalp psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that causes the formation of flakes on the scalp and is also accompanied by an itch. During the monsoons, the weather gets more humid; this change in the weather can aggravate existing skin conditions.
Tips To Take Care Of Your Scalp
Taking a little extra care of your hair during the monsoon can go a long way. To maintain healthy and beautiful-looking hair, a proper hair care routine is required.
-
Shampoo your hair regularly:
Rainwater is full of dirt and impurities which can result in an unclean scalp. A dirty scalp can cause itching and can also damage the hair follicles. Therefore, use a mild shampoo that is enriched with natural ingredients to keep your hair clean and nourished.
-
Choose natural home remedies:
Excessive use of chemical-based hair products can add to your hair problems. While your scalp is vulnerable during the rainy season, oiling is the best remedy to nourish hair from the roots. Before shampooing, massage your hair using warm oil and leave it in for at least 2 hours.
-
Maintain a balanced diet:
What you eat plays a big role in a good hair care regime. Including foods that are rich in protein, calcium and iron can help you keep your hair healthy and nourished. Protein-rich foods such as green leafy vegetables, sprouts, nuts and fish help strengthen hair follicles and in turn, keep hair fall away.
However, there is no single hair remedy that suits everyone. Therefore, it is best to treat the root cause of the problem with homeopathy. Homeopathic treatment helps to manage the underlying triggers such as stress, medical conditions or infections in the safest way. It helps to enhance your immune system so that your body can fight infections on its own. This in return, helps to reduce the chance of a relapse and increases the disease-free period.
According to a case study published in the International Journal of Advances in Medicine, 2020, homeopathic medicines like Kali sulphuricum, Thuja occidentalis and Natrum muriaticum showed excellent results in treating scalp problems such as seborrheic dermatitis in all stages of the disease.
