List of Ingredients
1) Make an infusion of 1 ounce each of fresh or dried rosemary and sage in 2
cups of water. Let steep for 24 hours, then use daily as a hair rinse.
2) Boil 5 heaping Tbsp dried thyme in 2 cups water for 10 minutes. Strain and
cool. Pour 1/2 mixture over clean, damp hair. Massage into scalp, do not
rinse. Use second half of solution another day.
3) Instead of shampooing, massage handfuls of baking soda into the hair and
scalp to absorb oil and to loossen dead skin on scalp. Rinse thoroughly, use no
other shampoos. While initially the hair may seem dry, after several weeks,
dandruff will be gone and hair will be smooth and shiny.

1 cup water
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1 handful of fresh mint leaves

scalp, let dry without rinsing out.

nettles to make about 1/2 cup. Add to 2 cups of water in a covered pot. Bring to a
boil. Remove from heat and let steep overnight. Strain. Shampoo and rinse hair
then use herb tea for a final rinse to relieve itchy, flaky scalp.
