Issue #14: How do I get rid of dandruff?

Gluten Free Seed and Herb Bread recipe

SO this week was coronation week in the UK 👑. I have to say it was a really magical atmosphere in London and I couldn’t have been prouder to be British. It was hard not to get caught up in the spirit of coming together the occasion imbued, plus there was a cream tea around almost every corner and patches of the famously elusive British sun, mixed with the less elusive British rain. It felt like everyone was in a good mood and was lovely to be part of.

In other news my book 7 Principles of Healthy Eating, is holding strong in the charts which I am enormously grateful for. Please drop me a review on Amazon or Waterstones if you haven’t already. I would be so grateful as it really does help boost how any people the book reaches.

3. 📺 The Wisdom of Trauma by Dr Gabor Maté here. Considered one of the leading experts on trauma in the world, Dr. Maté explores why Western society is facing epidemics of anxiety, chronic illness (such as cancer and multiple sclerosis) and substance abuse. Dr. Maté presents a new vision of a trauma-informed society in which parents, teachers, physicians, policy-makers and legal personnel are not concerned with fixing behaviours, making diagnoses, suppressing symptoms and judging, but instead seek to understand the sources from which troubling behaviours and diseases spring, giving us a path for individual and collective healing.

How do I get rid of dandruff?

Dandruff is an overgrowth or imbalance naturally occurring yeast on the skin, and affects nearly 75 percent of the population worldwide at some point in their lives. Under-washing is the most common cause of dandruff, as by letting sebum and dead skin build-up on the scalp, you create the perfect environment for fungal and bacterial infections, the former of which will jumpstart the flaking. The combination of dry indoor air coupled with fluctuating temperatures outside can also trigger flakes and a tight, itchy sensation, as your scalp attempts to adapt to the environment. Dandruff can also result from too much shampooing, or the water being too-hot when showering.

Most dandruff cases will clear up quickly after you take action. So getting the right flake-fighting shampoo that neutralises the scalp without drying it out entirely is the best place to start.
