Common Recipes:

  • Rubbing lemon juice over the scalp before taking a bath prevents dandruff.
  • Take about 100 gms of leaves of the Margosa (Neem) tree and boil them in a liter of water for 1-2 hours. Allow it to cool and strain through a thin cloth. This decoction is an excellent hair wash and prevents dandruff as recommended by Ayurveda. Prepare a fresh decoction for every wash.
  • Finely powder the pods of soap nut acacia and apply it on the scalp with water. Leave for 15 minutes before taking a bath. Using it for several days cures dandruff.
  • Mix in equal parts of dried Indian gooseberry, Shikakai (pods of soap nut acacia), and Margosa leaves. Grind the mixture to a fine powder. Mix this powder in a liter of water and wash the hair with this solution to effectively get rid of dandruff.
  • Precaution: Take adequate measures to prevent the shampoo from running into your eyes. It may cause eye irritation! Discard the remaining portion of this shampoo. Do not store it.
