It is quite amazing to discover that a material as simple as honey has been found to help alleviate an embarrassing scalp problem that most hair care products have not succeeded in curing.  Studies have shown that the use of honey helps to both treat and protect the scalp from dandruff.  Honey is both able to provide temporary and permanent relief to the scalp. Honey helps in targeting dandruff extinction. In a study, it was observed that when honey was diluted with about 10% of warm water and applied to a problematic area of the scalp and left for about three hours, before it was rinsed, there was a fast eradication of itching and a complete relief to the scalp within one week of its application. The lesions of the skin were healed completely within two weeks. 

An explanation for the reason for dandruff is that they are caused by an overgrowth of the natural skin’s pathogens which include fungi that is known as dermatophytes.  With honey possessing an excellent broad range of antibacterial and antifungal properties, it also has a remarkable wound healing as well as anti-inflammatory properties that make it appropriate for the treatment of inflammatory and skin conditions associated with pathogens. Honey is widely known and considered as one of the best of nature’s richest gifts to mankind.
