I often have an itchy scalp – is there anything I can do?

If it is serious the GP is likely to give you a prescription for this common problem, which is often related to athlete's foot and thrush. It tends to strike when the immune system is low due to stress or illness.

The Aromatherapy treatment is 4 – 10 drops of Tea-Tree Oil in the bath and 2 drops to 5ml of a quality fragrance free shampoo when washing your hair. If you are showering, add a few drops of the Oil to a mild shampoo. Also ensure that diet is healthy and take action to reduce stress.
