Since we are talking about getting the toxins out of our hair products, I thought I would share a tip that has helped some of my children with cradle cap. In babies we call it cradle cap and children and adults we have different names like dandruff, depending on the severity. I have noticed that my children with the most gut damage have struggled the most with cradle cap. I have also observed that changing our lifestyles to reduce toxins, correct deficiencies, and focus on eating a highly digestible, nutrient dense diet with lots of natural enzymes and probiotics from our food has significantly reduced all the cases of cradle cap. If you or a loved one is struggling with this, I can’t wait to share what has worked for us, because there are so many toxic “treatments” out there and this is so simple and natural!

I rub olive oil onto their scalp and let that sit for at least an hour. Then I take a toothbrush (one that I have reserved for this occasion only) and gently remove the now loose scales. I then wash their hair with my natural shampoo bar that I have recently added calendula flowers to, which helps differentiate it from our soap, and and add extra benefits. I have also started infusing amazing herbs into the oil that are naturally antifungal and also adds vitamins and minerals to the shampoo. I have noticed that even after washing the hair a few times, it can still be greasy. I often let it dry and wash it one more time. While our gut healing diet has improved all of the cradle cap issues, I still keep this handy tip in my tool box. Do you have a natural treatment you can share for cradle cap? We love to hear from you!
