Essential Oils Noted for Dandruff

The following is from Valerie Worwood's The Complete Book of Essential Oils and Aromatherapy, p. 164

With essential oils you can get to the root of the problem with dandruff and "banish this scourge once and for all."

Consider shampooing with this basic, natural soap that helps balance the pH of the scalp:

Dairy Meadow's Shampoo Bar

The Shampoo Bar should be rinsed with rain water or a vinegar rinse. You do not need to feel that the measurements have to be precise. After shampooing the hair, you add a little vinegar to a cup of water and some drops of essential oils if desired.

Vinegar Rinse

1 TB Cider Vinegar

5 drops Thyme

5 drops Eucalyptus Dives

5 drops Sage

3 drops Carrot Seed

Mix together and add 1 ounce of filtered water.

Using about a teaspoon at a time, dip your fingers into the mixture and massage into the scalp (not the hair) every night before going to bed. (Worwood does not mention rinsing this out.)

Another Effective Vinegar Rinse (same instructions as above):

5 drops Carrot Seed

3 drops Cypress

15 drops Jojoba oil

15 drops Evening Primrose
