Dry Itchy Scalps

Dry itchy Scalp is very often a sign of a sensitivity to shampoo or other products that we apply to our bodies.  Our skin and scalps are particuarly susceptible to absorbing substances while we are in a hot shower and our pores are wide open So if there is anything we are sensitive to - we are inviting anything we are sensitive to, tobe absorbed into our systems.

A little about Sensitivities.  A sensitivity can be described as a reaction to a chemical substance natural or synthetic that builds over time.  The higher the frequency ofexposure to the substance the more opportunity your body has to develop a sensitivity to the substanceand your body's immune system tries to prepare itself to be ready for the next exposure to the substance.  It's like your body is on high alert ready for the next invasion....so when it comes into contact with the chamical foe its got more defences ready to attack the invaders with.  One very common symptom of this is Dry Itchy Scalp!!!

Now you can probably see why sensitivities are so common these days, because as a whole our bodies are more exposed to such a variety of substances, they are on alert alot of the time.  In my experience most dry itchy scalp cases come down to this as the root cause.

Shampoos and sensitivities.  There are many chemicals in shampoos that have been documented by the US government as being highly sensitizing - one of them is found in 90% of shampoos on our store shelves.  This is why many shampoos say "seek medical advice if swallowed" and I have seen more severe warnings in very fine print of course.

So what are your options...well first you can identify the sensitizing ingredients that are known to cause dry itchy scalp and then only buy shampoos that do not contain them - its not hard to find them - they are everywhere if you know where to look.

Secondly you can use natural home remedy recipes to soothe the dry itchy discomfort and help to heal your body and reduce the reaction to any product.  If you avoid the offending chemicals your body will eventually go off high alert. You can accelerate the healing process and eliminate symptoms in minutes using essential oils like Lavender or certain blends available that are made for this purpose.

You do not have to put up with Itchy Dry Scalp once you understand whats behind it and what to avoid with a small amount of effort and by using ingredients from your home for relief.
