These days, whether knowingly or unknowingly, by mistake or carelessness, most of us are using all kinds of toxic substances on our heads at home. There is no real need to use them for hair wash, yet we do. Because of this, severe unbearable itching starts on the scalp, white flakes keep falling, and dandruff appears. If this dandruff goes beyond control, just as a chameleon turns into a monitor lizard when it grows old, this dandruff can turn into a very dangerous skin disease. It spreads from the head to the neck, then to the face, chest and back, covering the whole body. It ruins both physical beauty and facial beauty, and all the hair falls out completely.
To uproot this long standing, severe, stubborn and repeatedly returning dandruff from its very root, the late revered Ayurvedic physician and herbal medicine expert Sri Sambireddy garu of Guntur district has given a simple remedy.
Ingredients:
- Sweet flag, Calamus / Acorus calamus / Jatila (जटिला) / Bajai, Vasa Bach (Hindi) / Vasa (వస) [Buy Online at Amazon India / US / Canada / UK]
Preparation:
Cut the sweet flag into pieces, dry them, and powder them. Filter it through a cotton or nylon mesh to obtain fine powder and store it in a glass bottle.
Usage:
There are two ways to use it. One is to take a little of this powder, mix it with a little water to make a paste and apply. The other is to take the dry powder itself and apply it little by little between the hair strands, covering the whole scalp. People who have small sores or boils on the head may feel slight burning. This happens because constant scratching with nails has made the scalp soft and damaged, with small cuts. There is no need to get worried. Apply the powder gently all over the head and leave it for at least fifteen minutes. If there is no excessive burning or itching, you can leave it even for half an hour. Then wash the hair with soap nut [Buy Online at Amazon India / US / Canada / UK] or shikakai [Buy Online at Amazon India / US / Canada / UK]. Do this once a week. Also wash the pillow covers thoroughly and change the outer covers regularly. If you follow this method, dandruff will reduce completely.
