Question: Is it possible to make hair less oily with acupuncture or herbs?

(Posted by: Elena K on 2008-10-31 20:17:28)

I have a very oily hair (I have to wash every day for it too look clean). I am wondering if Eastern Medicines can help in making it less oily. Ideally, I'd like to wash 2 times a week. Anyone, can advice or point out an herb, herbalist or other natural system to make it less oily. I am looking for an advice on how to achieve internal change, I'm well familiar with home remedies on how to help hair be less oily. But I'm wondering if it is possible to influence with herbs my hormones which are responsible for the oil production. Thank you!

An anti-inflammatory diet is often used to balance hormones and increase health. There are many herbs and spices that have anti-inflammatory properties.

Yes yes yes.......... nutribiotic GSE (grapefruit seed extract) when you pour shampoo into your hand, put 3-4 drops of it in it and then leave it in for 2 minutes. also just take 10-15 drops in water 3 times a day and see if it improves. should help with oily scalp which can be related to dandriff which can be related to a minor yeast infection of the scalp.... also make sure you eliminate refined sugar, and eat more Brocolli (lol) and salad!!! like you can get salad leaves plain. pretend they are chips, that works for me...
