I am a 19- year- old boy and I have stretch marks. They look really bad on me. Can you please help me get rid of this problem with the help of an effective home remedy?
A little while ago, I mentioned that dandruff had spread through my hair and you recommended a last rinse ( while showering) to be mixed with baking soda. I did that for a few weeks and saw good results. But after I stopped, the dandruff returned again. How long do I have to do this?
— Name withheld Dandruff usually occurs due to a faulty diet, lack of sufficient water intake or even due to improper shampooing. Do the treatment with baking soda until the dandruff clears, but it is important to find the root of the problem to ensure that the dandruff does not return.
I recently bought an aloe vera plant. Can you tell me the different ways I can use it for natural remedies?
— Shwetha Aloe vera is an extremely versatile plant. It can be used to cleanse the skin, scalp and body. You can eat 1 tbsp raw or add it to fresh green juice, daily. Massaging it into the scalp arrests hair fall, dandruff and calms and conditions hair, while applying it to the face or body oxygenates the skin. It’s a good move to bring it into your home!
