Dawn, what about NG's tea tree oil 'poo & your hubby?

Hi there Running Wild,Actually, it was the lovely Cher who recommended the Tea Tree shampoo as she mentioned it had cleared up a longstanding scalp problem her husband had been suffering from for many years. I don't have any firsthand details, but I'm fairly certain he simply used it as he would any other shampoo on an every couple of days basis. Perhaps your scalp problems are more serious. Have you tried some herbal rinses for psoriasis type skin troubles, comfrey, calendula and the like? Some folks suffer from chronic flareups such as yours when stress, diet or other factors are also influencing their lives. It may be serious enough to check with a physician, perhaps a holistic or naturopathic one could be of great help to you.I've always enjoyed your posts and surely hope you can find the help you need with what sounds like a troublesome issue!Very best wishes to all!DawnDawn, Dawn, do tell!> Some time back, you recommended Nature's Gate Tea Tree> Oil Shampoo for a scalp condition (I don't remember> the message) like mine, that includes itchy scalp, big> ole flakes, scabbiness, crusty and bleeding (when> itched) scabs and general grodiness.> I finally located the shampoo and am using it to no> apparent effect.

Yes.. it was me who's husband used the NG Tea Tree shampoo. He uses it about every other day and you are suppose to let it soak a bit before rinsing. It wasn't an overnight miracle but over a period of a few weeks we saw a huge difference. I rarely see any flakes at all anymore. If yours doesn't improve I would go and see a doctor. I use it occasionally just to give my scalp a refreshing cleansing. I hear Paul Mitchell's Tea Tree is good also. best regards..
