Home Remedies for Hair Loss & Burning Scalp

Burning scalp syndrome can be caused by a number of factors, according to Wrongdiagnosis.com, including stress, anxiety, a reaction to soap or shampoo or hair coloring, medication, migraine headaches, a Vitamin B 12 deficiency, sinus, neuralgia or diabetes, as well as a number of other conditions. Hair loss happens because of age, genetics, medicines, hormonal imbalances and auto-immune conditions as well as other medical conditions.

  1. Southernwood

    • Total-health-care.com has some excellent solutions for those of you who have a burning scalp including using southernwood, which is an herb. Pour 5 Tbsp. of southernwood infusion into a bottle and add a very mild cologne. Shake the contents. Some people think that southernwood smells like menthol and may find the scent disagreeable as do insects. Botanical.com explains that the oil from southernwood consists primarily of absinthol and is a good stimulant tonic. When you use it, use a diluted version. Add 1 Tbsp. of the mix to 1 Tbsp. of warm water and massage this into your scalp. This should eliminate dry scalp, which may be causing the burning sensation.

    Watercress, Alcohol and Geranium

    • Another solution for burning scalp, according to Total-health-care.com, is putting 4 oz. of watercress into 4 oz. of alcohol along with 1 tsp. of oil of geranium. Let this mixture sit for one week and then apply it to your hair. This reportedly will remove dry scalp, induce hair growth and calm that burning sensation.

    Aloe Vera

    • The gel from the aloe vera provides a protective seal for the skin or for the hair when applied to the scalp. This plant is considered to have healing properties. Apply the aloe vera gel to your scalp and massage. Leave it in for half an hour and then rinse out. This should help induce new hair growth within a few months if you regularly massage your scalp with aloe vera gel, according to Natural-cure-guide.com.

    Rosemary Essential Oil

    • Rosemary essential oil reportedly increases oxygen to the hair follicles and this helps hair grow, according to Homemademedicine.com. Add 1/2 tsp. of rosemary essential oil to 1/2 tsp. of jojoba oil and blend until smooth. Put the mixture on your scalp and leave it there for two hours and then rinse out.

    Potatoes

    • Regrow-hair.org recommends using potatoes to help your hair grow. Combine two peeled and grated white potatoes with 1 teaspoon of honey with 1 egg yolk, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil. Apply the mixture to the entire length of your hair as well as to your scalp. Wrap your head in a towel and let the mixture do its work, leaving it on for about 30 minutes. After you wash out the mixture, rinse using vinegar. Potatoes are reportedly wonderful for your scalp and hair and can encourage hair growth. Try doing this once a week
