When Dandruff Is Not Just on the Scalp
Most people associate dandruff only with the scalp. However, many patients experience flaky skin not only on the head but also on the eyebrows, moustache and beard. This type of dandruff is often accompanied by persistent itching and may not respond well to ordinary shampoos or even standard constitutional homeopathic remedies.
In such cases, homeopathy offers a deeper and more targeted solution.
Sanicula Aqua – A Key Remedy for Facial and Scalp Dandruff
When dandruff spreads across the scalp and facial hair areas, Sanicula Aqua (Sanic.) becomes an important remedy to consider.
It is especially useful when:
- Dandruff involves eyebrows, beard and moustache
- The flakes are widespread
- There is constant itching
- Constitutional treatment has given limited or no relief
Sanicula Aqua works at the constitutional level while showing a marked affinity for chronic, scaly skin conditions.
How Sanicula Aqua Is Commonly Prescribed
- Potency: Usually lower potencies
- Dosage: Repeated doses
- Duration: Around one week, depending on the case
Always consult a qualified homeopathic physician before starting treatment.
Alternative Remedy: Chininum Sulphuricum
Chininum Sulphuricum may also be considered in dandruff cases. However, when the dandruff clearly affects the eyebrows and beard, Sanicula Aqua remains the first-choice remedy in most clinical situations.
Conclusion
If you notice dandruff extending beyond your scalp to the eyebrows and beard, it may indicate a deeper imbalance. Homeopathy, particularly Sanicula Aqua, can offer effective and lasting relief when prescribed correctly.
