context
What happens when a herbal remedy meets an irritated, flaking scalp? One clinic measured it over four weeks.
method
77 people with scalp seborrheic dermatitis used a topical Chinese-herbal preparation for four weeks (the most severe cases also took herbs by mouth).
finding
After four weeks, average symptom scores fell from 7.71 to 2.23 on a 16-point scale: a clear, meaningful easing of flaking and irritation.
Everybody's different, so results vary, and none of this is medical advice. If a scalp or hair concern sticks around, please see a doctor or dermatologist.
