Dandruff is caused by yeast known as Pityrosporum ovale. Excessive functioning of the oil glands also causes dandruff. Shampooing everyday eliminates the excessive oil.



Increased dietary sugar, stress and deficiency of B complex vitamins also result in dandruff. Massaging the scalp daily with coconut oil proves beneficial. Listerine is used as a final rinse in eliminating dandruff.


Avoid listerine, in cases of bruise or head injury. Leaving aloe vera gel overnight on the scalp is effective. Topical application of cider vinegar on the scalp also proves beneficial.

Consumption of the herb triphala powder (soaked) is helpful for grey hair. A mixture of lemon and coconut oil is massaged on to the scalp for 15 minutes. This helps in maintaining black hair. Itching lips is common due to cold weather, which also accompanies, chapped lips. Keeping them moisturized, throughout the day and before retiring to bed is equally important. Coconut oil is an easily accessible and cost effective remedy. Vaseline or vitamin E oil also proves beneficial. Aloe vera gel or paste helps in relieving chapped lips. Lipsticks wit high sun protective factor or SPF and moisturizers are recommended.
