Effective anti-dandruff hair care
We are inundated with advertisements making us believe that dandruff and scabs on the scalp are due to interventions of external agents and fungi. And, this in order to sell us liters of shampoos with chemical ingredients that will “strip” our scalp. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, this explanation is contrary to the true origin of dandruff. It is, in reality, an overload of toxins having difficulty in evacuating from the scalp by the natural elimination routes.
Free yourself from dandruff naturally!
The point of view of modern medicine
- The classic mistake of modern medicine is to believe that dandruff is caused by a fungus called Malassezia. This would colonize our heads and feed on the sebum of the scalp.
- This presence would cause dandruff on scalps a little too sensitive to the secretions of this fungus.
- Therefore, products based on Zinc Pyrithione should be used. It is an antifungal and antibacterial chemical.
- This kind of solution is a real plaster on a wooden leg. It doesn't help much. Other than stripping or disinfecting the scalp during application, you do not solve the real cause of dandruff.
The point of view according to Traditional Chinese Medicine
- The presence of the Malassezia fungus is not the cause of dandruff.
- In fact, this fungus appears when there is excess sebum on the skin.
- The presence of Malassezia can be observed on a scalp with oily dandruff. These dandruff are dead cells (therefore dry) present on a scalp in excess of sebum because the sebaceous glands produce too much of it.
- On a scalp with dry dandruff, there is no trace of this fungus because there is no sebum.
- Traditional Chinese Medicine, to cure diseases, will always seek the origin of the problem in order to treat the imbalance at its source.
The birth of dandruff
- The exact origin of dandruff is in fact a surplus of toxins (cellular waste due to the natural functioning of human cells). You will find more detailed explanations on the presence of dandruff on the scalp, on Géomer anti-dandruff care page.
- As the skin is submerged by these "wastes" called toxins which cannot, for whatever reason, be evacuated via the natural ways (the lymph), these will thus evacuate in the form of dandruff.
- When we have dandruff or dandruff crusts on the scalp, it always means that there is an overload of toxins inside of it. Which can be dangerous for the vital balance of the skin.
- In order to maintain this balance when this happens, the affected skin area (scalp) will automatically remove all excess toxins by storing them in our skin cells. These will then die as a result of this overload and then be shipped out of the skin in the form of dandruff or scabs on the scalp.
Organs in imbalance that create the appearance of dandruff
The Traditional Chinese Medicine explains very precisely which organs are at the origin of this accumulation of toxins in our tissues:
- The spleen filters used red blood cells from the blood and recycles their iron.
- The stomach digests food.
- The pancreas is essential for digestion and regulates insulin as well as glucose.
- These 3 organs are therefore linked to the digestion of what feeds our body and therefore the quality of its waste. (more information here >>)
Our advice in case of dandruff or dandruff crusts on the scalp
Pay attention to his lifestyle!
- The presence of a dandruff condition means that the body is loaded with toxins that it is struggling to eliminate.
- It will therefore be necessary to ensure to have a diet aimed at detoxifying our body.
- It starts with learn to drink water properly. Indeed, it is the water that will be able to help the body, its tissues and its scalp to cleanse itself properly from the inside. I invite you to read the blog article on the subject: "how to drink water properly"
Avoid irritating products
- The presence of dandruff or scabs on a scalp means that many skin cells will need to take on toxins to eliminate them towards the surface of the skin. This causes more cell regeneration than normal and creates increased sensitivity of the scalp.
- It is therefore necessary to avoid irritating products such as colorings (ammonia-based), Minoxidil and others and favor products with natural ingredients.
Treating the source of the problem is eliminating the problem
- As soon as we know the origin of dandruff, it becomes easier to find solutions to eliminate them more easily and effectively.
- Naturopathy has proven itself for many years and offers us the most interesting herbal solutions.
- The Laboratoire Géomer therefore relied on ancestral knowledge of naturopathy in order to develop hair care with products that contain plant extracts and essential oils intended to treat the 3 organs in question: Spleen, Stomach and Pancreas.
- The results are most conclusive with a complete disappearance of dandruff and scabs after just a few applications.
Natural anti-dandruff treatments
An effective anti-dandruff shampoo that eliminates dandruff at its roots (origins)
- Previously, anti-dandruff products were difficult to apply and their odor was quite strong, if not very difficult to bear. This famous Malassezia mushroom had to be eliminated by all means.
- But, fortunately, the latest research has made it possible to create shampoos with a gentle cleansing base with natural ingredients that will be able to eliminate dandruff as well as scalp crusts by treating the very origin of the imbalance.
- The Propolis shampoo of Laboratoire Géomer was designed to eliminate 100% dandruff and scalp crusts. All this thanks to its natural components such as propolis (natural antibiotic which very easily eliminates the Malassezia fungus) and the essential oils of lemon, thyme, lavender, cloves, eucalyptus, juniper berries and officinal sage (which will act on the specific imbalances of the 3 organs: Spleen, Stomach, Pancreas).
Special treatment to drain scalps laden with dandruff all year round
- If the dandruff is persistent, shampooing alone will not be sufficient given the amount of toxins to be eliminated from the scalp. In this type of skin imbalance, a deep scalp draining product should be used.
- For this, the Laboratoire Géomer has created the draining and purifying mask Terral Yellow. When applied to the scalp, it will allow the skin to cleanse itself, to purify itself and to heal in depth. All this, thanks to its natural components such as yellow illite (purifying), algae for a mineral contribution and essential oils (specific to balance: the Spleen, Stomach, Pancreas): Lemon, Thyme, Lavender, Sage, Juniper Berries, Cloves, Eucalyptus. To be used once or twice a week on the scalp.
Special care for large dandruff in the form of crusts or dandruff clumps
The Dermo Purifying Peeling Gel
- When dandruff is present in the form of lumps or scabs, it means that the amount of toxins accumulated in the scalp is very substantial.
- In this case, it is better to help the toxins to escape through natural channels.
- For this, Laboratoire Géomer has designed a resin and sage-based product that will help eliminate toxins via natural means: Peeling gel. Applied to areas of dandruff crusts, it will cleanse the skin quickly and very effectively. If the crusts are very thick, it will be better to peel them off withPlural oil before applying the Peeling Gel.
In conclusion,
To end this blog post on dandruff and dandruff scabs, the first piece of advice I can give to anyone who is affected by it is "to drink water properly" so that your body can eliminate these on its own. toxins (dandruff) from your scalp. (Read the article on water >> here)
