Image: Victoria Falls, ZambiaMy dandruff still bothers me. I’ve seen a dermatologist and used several medicated shampoos but nothing’s helped. Whether its stress related or my hormones playing up, I do not know, but I certainly do not feel particularly stressed. Anyhow I’ve now decided to attack the problem from within.
Water has never been my favorite drink and even though I knew that one should drink at least a liter of it a day, I didn’t do it cause it was too hard; plus I didn’t like the idea of running to the bathroom every so often. But now that am so eager to solve my scalp problem, I force myself to drink - not just a liter - but a liter and a half of water a day.
It’s now been two weeks since I started the water diet; the dandruff has gotten a lot better and the uncomfortable tightness of my scalp which I used to feel after shampooing is gone and so's the itch. I used to shampoo my hair once every two weeks but now wash every weekend. Since my consultant advised me to do just one shampoo, I make sure I massage my scalp for some time before I rinse. I must say with my long nails it's not that easy - I tend to use the nails instead of my finger pads. Anyway, for the final rinse, I mix a little white vinegar or apple cider vingegar water in a large dish - sometimes I soak my head in the dish before pouring it over my head.
Psalm 1.3 says '... like a tree planted by streams of water which yields fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither.' The healthy vegetation around the Victoria Falls (above) is living proof! So I suppose if I take in sufficient water as per my body's need, my skin in general should improve and so should the dandruff. I’ll give myself a month to see what happens.
So 'changing times...' is not just about my locks but about discovering and transforming myself in many different ways which will enable me to enjoy and face life in a more meaningful manner.
