Stinging Nettle: Spiteful Weed or Useful Herb
May 2009
"Nettles are a traditional scalp remedy. Mixed with zinc, this cream is good for treating dandruff or scalp dermatitis."
Yin Yang Scalp Cream contains tincture of organic & bio-dynamic nettles and Zinc in an emulsion of organic soya protein, coconut oil and wheat germ oil, delicately fragranced with Essential Oil of Limes. Nettle has a tradition for being used for scalp conditions, either as a wash or a rub in cream, while zinc has been shown to be an effective agent in the recovery of skin affected by dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis.
The rich supply of amino acids released by the gentle fermentation of organic soya protein, combined with the mineral & vitamin high organic nettles, provides a nourishing gentle cream to support the healthy functioning of the scalp and the hair follicles. Essential Oil of Lime lends a lovely fresh light fragrance to this pH balanced cream. The important microflora of bacteria that naturally inhabit our skin and keep it healthy have been shown to be most comfortable with a pH of circa 5.0. Shampoos and tap water typically have a pH of 8.0 or higher, at which level these important aspects of the skin defence mechanism are weakened. For scalps troubled by dandruff and other skin conditions, maintaining an optimal pH is very important. Lime Oil has long been considered to be an aid to blood circulation, so important for a healthy scalp. Organic & bio-dynamically grown nettles, rich in vitamins and minerals, have been recognised traditionally as having a stimulating and cleansing effect on the skin. This has encouraged their use for many types of skin condition and it has supported a reputation for encouraging good hair growth.
Directions for Use: Massage into scalp daily and leave to absorb.
