When I get dry, itchy scalp I make a shampoo...sm
I copied this from my vinegar book for you.
Apple Cider Vinegar-for your hair/scalp PH balances
Dandruff and Itchy Scalp: add two teaspoons of ACV to a large glass of warm water. Lean your head over a sink and carefully pour the mixture over your entire scalp. Wrap your head in a towel for 15 minutes. Unwrap head, comb hair and then wash hair as usual. The acidic nature of ACV combined with its potent enzymes can help scalp problems such as dandruff, itchy scalp, baldness and thinning hair. Apple cider vinegar also stimulates hair follicles to encourage the growth of healthier hair.
All Natural Shampoo (ACV)
Add the following ingredients in a blender:
1 oz. Olive oil
1 egg
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon ACV.
Use as you would a regular shampoo
Herbal Hair Rinse Combinations Using ACV
Use ¼ fresh herb or you can use dry ones. You can use any herb you like. Add to 1 quart boiling water. Let is steep until cool strain then add 2 tablespoons of ACV. Certain herbs can enhance your hair color, as well as condition it. Rosemary and parsley are good for dark hair, sage will darken graying hair, chamomile will highlight blonde or light brown hair, calendula conditions, lavender and lemon verbena add fragrance, linden is good for frequently shampooed hair, and nettles will control dandruff.
itchy scalp
I get really dry itchy skin and scalp in winter and try not to wash my hair every single day, but the older I get the worse it seems to be. Does anyone have any recommendations for a really mild shampoo that won't dry out my hair and scalp?  TIA.
Someone on main board I think, recommended angel food network, which (sm)
I have been familiar with in the past. You might want to check that out as a way to save a lot of money on your food bill.
My dog loves coconut oil right off the spoon. Try the health food store. Sometimes in food store,

health food :)
i've made this exact same recipe for years -- husband calls it "health food" cuz of the oats. (i just call em no-bakes). I boil mine gently however for 2 minutes, not a second more for soft cookie consistency.
The only thing i do different now is use the DARK Hershey's cocoa -- everyone loves them!!
what is yam cream? at health food store?

Might try coconut oil from the health food store. It's solid at room temp., so you can rub it in

Valerian root or melatonin from the health food store. Are you on herbals

Celestial Seasonings is the brand (health food stores carry it also) nm

But according to that other book, Jason Simpson did it....
anyone have any input on that?
I only use adult shampoo on her..shampoo &
My Miniature Dachshund is itchy!!!
I took him to the vet and she said that his skin is not irritated so there is no need to switch his food yet. He is current on his flea medication so I don't know what's going on. Does anyone have any experience with this stuff??
I feel so bad for him he rolls around scratching himself all the time. His skin isn't red and he's not missing any patches of fur. My mom said to add olive oil to his dry food. Any thoughts?
Thanks!!
Thank you!! oh yeah forgot that, i do get very dry/itchy skin too. sm
i also get muscle aches in my legs. i figure it is from sitting 24/7, lol, working. they feel like they would if i had ran 4 miles or something. just a general dull muscleache. I am always cold, i know my temps are usually 97s range, and low BP. my hair comes out by the handfuls if i brush or shampoo. thanks for your explaination. i am going to see if i can't get it and get my levels checked again.
Itchy bumps on palms of hands?
I have these itchy bumps on the palms of my hands, they are only right in the middle. I thouhgt at first they were like sweat bumps since my office is so hot, but it hasn't been for about a week and they still persist. Been using hydrocortisone but doesn't help much. Have cleaned my keyboards, mice, etc really well. Anyone else ever experience this?
RU masssaging the scalp back and forth...sm
with your fingertips - not just a light massage. I mean digging your fingertips into the scalp, holding on, and working the fingertips back and forth for the fraction an inch that anybody's scalp does move?
I swear by it, told the board about it, have seen 2 successes, actually 3 with my own, within 4-8 week period of time. You're only at the 3-week mark. The way you massage is the ticket..........
Please come back in 3-5 weeks please and post again........I don't know if it stops hair from falling out (doubtful) but it does bring hair back! Have your thyroid checked lately? Hormonal? No, seriously, these things affect hair loss. My daughter (mid-20s) losing her hair too but think it's thyroid (or nerves).
Best luck...keep us posted please! :)
...buildup on the scalp as well. Sorry, not enough space before, LOL. nm

Google DermaSmooth Scalp Oil
I complained to my dermatologist about itchy scalp and he recommended this. It is peanut oil based I must note to those with peanut allergy. He also recommend Triamcinolone Cream for itching skin.

My VET was the one who recommended it!
Otherwise, animal control takes the dog to the pound where it will surely be DESTROYED for being a nuisance animal barking all the time.

The lady I subcontract for recommended it. I've been a lurker for about eight months and have posted to a few threads.
If she comes recommended, $5/hr is good. That's the

this is the recommended technique from
the book "The Oppositional Defiant Child". Actually, there are even more extreme tactics to use from the book, but you followed the suggestions to the letter even if you never read the book. Good for you and glad it worked!
Corn starch isn't really recommended
for yeast because it can actually feed yeast.
Yes. My stylist said the doctor recommended that if SM
the patches did not work for her. He told her that within three months with Chantix the smoking is gone forever. I know we have a lot of pet lovers on this board, myself one of the most enhusiastic. These poor pets are also very susceptible to second-hand smoke. It penetrates the fur into the skin and they often pay the consequences with cancer and lung/heart problems.
Sorry - meant why they recommended for her child. nm

The recommended starting dosage for adults is 25 mg (sm)
3 to 4 x daily with a maximum of 150 mg daily. The medication is prescribed for depression, but with alot of those antidepressants, they are also prescribed for their sedative effect, and thus also prescribed for insomnia. Pamelor has been around a long time, and in my last 10 years of transcribing, don't recall any physician prescribing it as a sleep aid. The usual standard now seems to be trazodone, starting dose 50, but may increase in increments of 50 mg up a max of 300. I am not questioning your doctor's reasoning for prescribing this, I just find it unusual. I would not be concerned about increasing the dose you are taking. Most medications, in order to cause deliterious and life-threating potential, need to be taken 30x the normal prescribing dose. Hope you feel better.
Mylanta - our doctor's nurse recommended (sm)
You can dab it on the spots. Also what works for us - depends on her age (you may have said, I missed it) is Campho-Phenique - it is not made for that necessarily and doesn't taste great but works well to take the sting out of any kind of mouth sores.
That Bach stuff is highly recommended...
for horses as well! They sell it in almost every tack store and catalog I can think of--I never knew it was for people too! What a riot!
See link inside--my physician's office recommended this.

We had to do it twice, but it does work.

Shampoo sm
I totally agree! I can't tell you how many times I have gotten home only to find that I ended up with 2 conditioners or 2 shampoos instead of 1 of each. My fault, I know, but I've done this despite being (I thought) extremely careful so it didn't happen again. I guess we should consider ourselves lucky to have such an array to choose from.
My cat only eats dog food and won't eat cat food or even tuna.
LOL
I am using Angel Food Network for help with food (sm)
Being much more careful not to waste food. No more fast food. Soda only if bought in a two-liter bottle, not singles or fountain. Most of my money waste was spent on food.
I usually tip 15% because I also tip the shampoo person.,,,,
But if the hairdresser does it all, including the shampoo, etc., I tip closer to 20%.
60 does some too high.. I pay 60 for shampoo,

How is it different from regular shampoo?
Is it conditioning? I have to avoid conditioning shampoos, so I've wasted a lot of money trying shampoos that are all about conditioning the hair (It irritates the skin).
Can we talk about Shampoo....
It is really a bit annoying to me to try and buy shampoo these days. I just want a bottle that says "Shampoo---for clean hair", but trying to read all the labels and pick out a bottle is kind of getting on my nerves. First, you have to find the one that says "shampoo" and that isn't easy since it is written in 2 different languages. (And let me say right now that immigrants that speak Spanish do not bother me in the least bit--and I don't care whether they speak English---just to get that out of the way, cause this isn't about that at all.) Then you have to read whether it is for frizzy hair, dry hair, colored hair, hair that needs hydrating, hair that needs dehydrating, permed hair, gray hair, shampoo & conditioner (which I do not want).......!
I mean can't there be just "Shampoo" and that's it?
Is it just me, or anyone else out there having this problem? Maybe I'm getting to be a bit crabby in my old age, but I would rather spend that time doing something else instead of studying the dang shampoo shelves.
If I don't shampoo my hair every day...sm
It is so oily the next day it looks like I haven't washed it in a week. I have to wash it everyday. It would be nasty if I didn't. I wish I didn't but I do.
Depends on the shampoo I use sm
We have well water, and I buy a special shampoo for that. If I don't, I get an orangish tinge to my hair and it does not stay clean for even a whole day. Also, I can only use a tiny amount of conditioner because my hair tends to be oily. That said, I usually only wash my hair every other day, more because of my schedule than anything.
Does any know if kids shampoo
I was at a salon the other day with my 2 girls, one 7, the other 3. I asked the stylist if it I should wash my 7-year-old's hair in regular shampoo instead of the kid shampoo I get. I have done it once or twice when I ran out of shampoo. She didn't say yes or no, she just said that she wouldn't because kid shampoos have an ingredient in it that prevents lice. She said the detangler spray in particular is what helps. I tried to Google that but haven't come up with anything. I was just wondering if anyone else heard it. TIA
Pet food recall -- dog food and cat food

Also Nizoral shampoo might be just the ticket.
I like the OTC one, but there is also a Rx one with the same active ingredient. I just didn't like it as well.
The OTC one is expensive, like $12 a bottle, but it's great stuff.
Medicated shampoo? Sounds like what my

Thanks - I will try the powder - just got new shampoo so won't try the Dawn yet (nm)

Paul Mitchell Shampoo One
simple as it gets.
http://www.amazon.com/Paul-Mitchell-Shampoo-One/dp/B0002F1RW8
Wella SP Regulate shampoo is (sm)
ideal for oily scalp. It won't damage your hair, either. I alternate with Nystatin (OTC) dandruff shampoo.
I tell you what shampoo WILL prevent lice...sm
At Sally's the generic Paul Mitchell's tea tree oil shampoo. Tea Tree Oil kills lice so if you shampoo with it it prevents them. It is not a lice killer it is just regular shampoo. It smells a lot like peppermint to me. I used it when my son started kindergarden because I didn't want him to get lice. Kids in his clss had it and he never got it. It is a little expensive but worth it to me.
Head & Shoulders or other similar shampoo (sm)
That helps me with lots of skin ailments - I use it under my arms so I won't be stinky and it works great :-) Might be worth a shot anyway.
My daughter had this problem, ended up she was using a shampoo
for oily hair that made her hair over-compensate for using the oily shampoo and it produced more oil, hence her having to wash her hair more often, try switching shampoos. I feel for you.
