Dry Itchy Scalp Causing You Discomfort? Heres Why & How To Stop It Now!

Dry itchy scalp is a very common ailment especially in this day and age with all the many chemicals our bodies are exposed to on a daily basis.

What many people don't realize is that many of these chemicals are in the products we use in our home and we humans are becoming more and more sensitzed to them.

Dry Itchy Scalp is very often a sign of a sensitivity to shampoo or other products that we apply to our bodies.  If you think about it we are even more susceptible to absorbing various chemicals when our pores are open.  An example of this is while we are showering, the hot steam opens our pores on our skin and scalp.  So if there is anything we are senstitive to - we are ensuring it can be readily absorbed into our systems.

A little on Sensitivities.  A sensitivity is characterized by a reaction to a chemical substance natural or synthetic that builds over time.  The more exposure to the substance you have the more your body's immune system tries to prepare itself in readiness 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 "enemy" its got more guns 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 the MOST common ingredient 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 sever warnings in very fine print of course.

So what can you do...well first you can identify the sensitizing ingredients that are known to cuase 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 remedies to soothe the dry itchy discomfort and help to heal your body and reduce the reaction to any product.  If you remove the offending chemicals your body will eventually go off high alert, and you can speed up the healing process and eliminate symtoms in minutes using essential oils like Lavender or blends available that are made for this purpose.

You do not have to put up with Itchy Dry Scalp if you are armed with the knowledge of what to avoid with minimal effort and by using ingredients from your home for relief.
