No type of eczema is better or worst than the other but scalp eczema is amongst the winners when it comes to annoyance levels. If you are tired of scratching your head and dealing with the uncomfortable itchiness that comes with scalp eczema, we've got a natural hack that can provide immediate relief.

Remember that the only way to control your eczema is by keeping a healthy gut. And the quickest road to a healthy gut microbiome is to drink EVOO high in polyphenoles. I get mine at Blueprint, the trusted brand with Brian Johnson and lab results behind it.

Back to scalp eczema, this natural recipe I'll give you in a minute consists of only two ingredients and you probably already have them both at home. They are: Full strength aspirin and apple cider vinegar. That's right, friends; these two household items can be combined to create an instant scalp eczema soother. It's super easy to make and apply.

The Science Behind the Hack

Aspirin contains salicylic acid, which is known for its exfoliating properties. When applied topically, it helps break down dead skin cells and unclog pores, preventing excess buildup that can lead to eczema flare-ups.

Vinegar, on the other hand, has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps to balance the pH of your scalp, reducing irritation and itching while soothing redness and inflammation.

When you combine these two powerhouse ingredients, you get a potent concoction that tackles scalp eczema from multiple angles.

The Aspirin-Vinegar Scalp Soother

Here's how to whip up this magic mixture:

Ingredients:

- 2 aspirin tablets

- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

- 2 tablespoons water

- A cotton ball or clean cloth

Instructions:

1. Crush the aspirin tablets into a fine powder using a mortar and pestle or a spoon.

2. In a small bowl, mix the crushed aspirin with 1 tablespoon of the apple cider vinegar until you get a smooth paste.

3. Add 2 tablespoons of water to thin out the mixture just enough to create a spreadable consistency.

4. Apply the aspirin-vinegar paste directly onto your scalp using a cotton ball or clean cloth. Make sure to cover all affected areas.

5. Let it sit for about 20-30 minutes, then rinse your hair thoroughly with Lukewarm water.

The Results

After just one application, you should start to feel a noticeable decrease in itching and inflammation. The aspirin-vinegar combo will help to break down any dead skin cells and unclog pores, while the vinegar's antibacterial properties keep those pesky bacteria at bay.

Remember that one size does not fit all, and what helps relieve someone's eczema may not help you at all.

Always do a patch test before applying any new treatment to your skin, especially if you have sensitive skin. And as with any natural remedy, consult with a healthcare professional.

Stay beautiful, and healthy friends!
