Dandruff is shedding of dead skin from the scalp, often with itching. It is linked to a yeast that lives on the scalp, oily skin, dryness, stress and sensitivity to hair products.
Common signs
- White or yellowish flakes on the scalp and shoulders
- Itching of the scalp
- Dry or greasy scalp
- Hair fall when the condition persists
How homoeopathy approaches it
Rather than suppressing the symptom alone, a homoeopathic physician studies the whole person — the pattern of complaints, what makes them better or worse, general health, temperament and history — and selects a remedy that matches that individual picture. Treatment aims to raise the body’s own resistance so that relief is lasting and relapses become fewer. Constitutional treatment helps the recurring, stubborn cases that keep returning after shampoos.
