Rosemary and Tea Tree Dandruff Hair and Scalp Mask

Rosemary and Tea Tree Dandruff Hair and Scalp Mask




Ingredients

Directions:
  1. Blend ingredients well in container
  2. Massage into the scalp
  3. Leave on for at least 20 minutes
  4. For severe conditions, try leaving it on overnight
  5. Shampoo well

Cedarwood Oil
  • Cedarwood essential oil is more of a woody, masculine scent. If you prefer something more feminine-smelling oils try lavender and ylang ylang. Cedarwood oil stimulates the hair follicles and increases circulation to the scalp to combat thinning hair. Cedarwood has also been helpful at improving dandruff symptoms.
Rosemary Oil
  • Rosemarry oil works well for dandruff due to its ability to minize scalp itchiness and flakes. It helps to treat both dry, dull hair as well as overly oily hair and can help prevent split ends. Rosemary essential oil helps to prevent premature baldness and stimulates the hair follicles.
Tea Tree Oil
  • Tea tree is one of the most popular essential oils for soothing damaged skin, but it's also great for scalp health. Since this essential oil is antifungal, it's been successfully used to treat dandruff. Tea tree oil also treats head lice.

Essential Oils

Discover your scents of self - pure essential oils

Essential oils have and are being used in medicine, cosmetics, perfumes, food and aromatherapy. Some essential oils can be applied to the skin, others are best taken orally.

**Do not ingest or topically apply any essential oils unless you are absolutely certain that they can be used this way**

Not all essential oils are safe to take internally and some can irritate the skin. Essential oils are a concentrated source of many phytochemicals and some essential oils must be diluted with an unscented carrier oil to be used safely on skin.

One of the primary benefits of essential oils is that, when used properly, they offer many benefits and have few, if any, side effects. Many essential oils are effective against harmful organisms. Some can positively affect your mood and mental state. Some essential oils can even help you reduce a headache or feelings of nausea.

Natural Way to Cure Breakouts




1 & 2: Digestive System
            Eat less processed or junk food, reduce the amount of fat in your diet, step up water intake and opt for cooling things like cucumbers.

3: Liver
            Cut out the alcohol, grease food and dairy. This is the zone where food allergies also show up first, so take a look at your ingredients.

4 & 5: Kidneys
            Anything around the eyes (including dark circles) point to dehydration. Drink up!

6: Heart
            Check your blood pressure and Vitamin B levels, Decrease the intake of spicy or pungent food, cut down on meat and get more fresh air.

7 & 8: Kidneys
            Again, drink up! And cut down on aerated drinks, coffee and alcohol as these will cause further dehydration.

9 & 10: Respiratory system
            Do you smoke? Have allergies? This is your problem area for both. If neither of these is the issue, don’t let your body overheat, eat more cooling foods, cut down on sugar and get more fresh air.

11 & 12: Hormones
            This is the signature zone for stress and hormonal changes. And while both are something unavoidable, you can decrease their effect by getting adequate sleep, drink enough water, eating leafy veggies and keeping skin clean.

13: Stomach
            Step up the fiber intake, reduce the toxic overload and drink herbal teas to help with digestion.

14: Illness
            Zits here can be sign that your body is fighting bacteria to avoid illness.
