Season 12 - Episode 35: Psychosomatics of Dandruff | EVETTE ROSE
✍Dandruff is a condition characterized by an excessive amount of flaking on the scalp. Most people are aware of the physical causes of this condition, but it can also be caused by psychological factors. Studies have found that certain psychological states, such as stress, emotions, and feelings of low self-esteem or guilt, can trigger a person's dandruff symptoms to worsen. These psychosomatic factors can manifest as increased skin irritation, an overproduction of sebum (the oily production on our scalps), and even changes in hair texture or growth. In order to address these issues, it is important to practice good emotional self-care and try to find ways to reduce stress levels while also taking care not to neglect personal hygiene. Additionally, developing positive coping strategies for dealing with difficult emotions can help improve overall well-being and may even alleviate some dandruff symptoms.
