10 Home Remedies For Dandruff
Home Remedy #3: Managing Stress
Stress has been proven to negatively affect various aspects of well-being and health. It has been associated with higher risks of cardiovascular diseases, stroke, and high blood pressure. Although stress may not cause dandruff, it can aggravate the symptoms such as itching and dryness of the scalp. Long-term high stress levels can also suppress the immune system, which reduces the ability to fight off infections. This can also contribute to worsening of dandruff as the body is no longer as capable to fight off the skin conditions or infections that contribute to dandruff.
A study comprising of 82 participants with seborrheic dermatitis found that most episodes of dermatitis may have been triggered by a stressful event. To manage stress, try exercising regularly or try meditation and breathing techniques.
