Introduction

What I would like you to know is that dandruff is a common scalp condition that problemate many people all around the world. Dandruff is dead skin cells on your scalp in the form of white or grayish flakes. Although it is a non-serious health issue, it can be embarrassing and very disturbing for the sufferer.

World Epidemiology

Dandruff is a condition that is found to be omnipresent in all the inhabitants of the Earth. The figures indicate that about half of the world's adult population has dandruff at some point in their lives. It usually takes place in colder climates and in males more.

Indian Epidemiology

Dandruff is a very widespread scalp condition in India. Sitting aside the hot and humid climate in most of the country is a major reason to it. To be more precise, I could not find a specific number; however, a large part of the population in India suffers from dandruff; that is for sure.

Causes

• Fungus growth
• Weak skin
• Hypersensitivity to hair care products
• Skin conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis
• Jumping hormone levels
• Stress
• Hot washing and moisturizing

Symptoms

The common symptoms of dandruff include:

• White or grayish flakes on the scalp and hair
• Itchy scalp
• Red or irritated skin on the scalp
• Oily or dry scalp

Side Effects of Conventional Medicines

Allopathic means of treatment can in some cases help clear dandruff, but they can also provoke some side effects:

• Scalp keel
• An abounding dryness of hair and of the scalp
• Scalp becomes more oily
• Hair looks another color
• Long term use of some ingredients may cause hormonal disruption

Benefits of Using Homeopathy

I see the practice of homeopathy as an alternative to dandruff that offers some of the following:

• A natural, qualitative, and harmless approach
• No knowledge of any side effects
• Treats the root cause not the symptoms just
• Has a wider plan for each patient
• Improve hair and scalp health by adding overall goodness
