Bulgur and quinoa are both whole grains that make terrific healthy side dishes. Bulgur is precooked cracked wheat. Because it cooks very quickly, it makes a handy convenience food. Quinoa, technically a seed, comes from a plant native to the Andes and first cultivated by the Incas.
Dry scalp is often itchy and may also result in flaking. When dead skin is being sloughed off the scalp, it can create a dry scalp or dandruff. This skin condition is known as seborrheic dermatitis. A moisturizing shampoo containing essential oils such as lavender oil and jojoba oil (a plant wax) may be helpful.
Rash Rx: Seborrheic dermatitis on the scalp is often treated with over-the-counter dandruff shampoos with ingredients that reduce the skinâs fungal population. Look for shampoos with tar, pyrithione zinc, salicylic acid or ketoconazole. If that doesnât work, your doctor can prescribe stronger shampoos.
