The Simple Fruit That Cures Dandruff? My Top Natural Home Remedies Revealed

Do you struggle with dandruff? If you do, is there a natural remedy for it? Yes, there is. And the answer might be simpler than you think: eating jackfruit can fix it.

First, let’s understand what dandruff really is, because I find many people have the wrong idea. It’s not some kind of insect or bug in your hair. Dandruff is simply the top layer of your scalp—your skull's skin—becoming so dry and overheated that it cracks and flakes off. It’s a sign of excess heat in your head.

And that’s where jackfruit comes in. In my experience, eating this fruit helps to cool the system and heal the scalp from within. What’s truly fascinating is that your body often knows what it needs. I’ve noticed that people with severe dandruff often have a strong craving for jackfruit. Give them apples, oranges, or anything else, and they’ll still gravitate toward the jackfruit. This is your body telling you what its medicine is. We just need to listen.

But my advice is to eat it in moderation. Don't buy a whole jackfruit and finish it in one sitting! Just a few pieces a day is enough to see a change. This is just one of many simple, forgotten remedies that I believe can solve everyday health problems. Here are some others I've found to be incredibly effective.

For Hiccups, Coughs, and Throat Troubles

Our ancestors had simple tricks for everything. If someone had hiccups, they would just place a piece of straw or hay on their head, and the hiccups would stop. We may not have hay lying around anymore, but here's an alternative I suggest: just eat a ripe guava. The connection between guava and stopping hiccups is surprisingly strong.

For a persistent cough, here’s a mixture that I find works wonders:
Mix equal parts of fresh ginger juice and pomegranate flower juice. Add a little pure honey to this mixture and consume it. It's a powerful concoction that soothes the throat and stops the cough.

Sometimes, people suffer from an enlarged uvula (the small piece of flesh that hangs at the back of the throat), which can cause a constant, irritating cough. For this, I recommend a very direct treatment. Make a paste with a little rock salt and tamarind. Using a clean stick (like a matchstick), gently apply a tiny amount of this paste directly onto the uvula. The moment it touches, the uvula will begin to shrink and release water. Have the person lean forward with their mouth open, and you'll see it drain. It’s a one-time, one-minute fix for a problem that can cause months of discomfort.

Simple Pastes for Skin, Hair, and Wounds

Nature provides us with incredible healing pastes for external use.

• For Body Heat and Burning Sensations: If you feel a constant burning sensation in your body, make a fine paste out of jujube leaves (ilanthai ilai) and apply it all over your body like a pack. Let it sit for a while before washing it off. It’s incredibly cooling and will resolve the issue.

• For Hair Fall and Hair Growth: To stop hair fall and encourage new growth, I swear by this method. Get some Balloon Vine leaves (Mudakathan Keerai). Grind them into a fine paste using fresh coconut milk instead of water. Apply this paste thoroughly to your scalp and hair, leave it on for a bit, and then wash it off. You'll see your hair fall reduce, and new hair will begin to grow.

• For Burns: If you have a burn from firecrackers or the kitchen stove, my go-to remedy is pure, unadulterated honey. The honey you buy in most stores is often just sugar syrup and won't work. If you can find real, pure honey, applying it to a burn will heal it completely, without leaving a scar.

• For Cuts and Wounds: For cuts from a knife or blade, this is an amazing antiseptic paste. Crush a clove of garlic and mix it with a little sugar. Apply this paste directly to the wound and tie a clean cloth over it. The combination of garlic and sugar is a powerful agent that helps the wound heal quickly.

A Powerful Treatment for the Ears and Mind

If you or a child suffers from pus draining from the ear, there's a herb called Thiruneetru Pachilai (a type of Sweet Basil). You can find it at traditional country medicine shops. Make a decoction (kashayam) by boiling it in water and drink it for ten days. It's an excellent remedy that will clear up the infection.

For children who experience bedwetting, the solution is often very simple. Every morning on an empty stomach, give them a glass of warm water mixed with pure honey. This simple practice can completely stop bedwetting.

My Ultimate Health Secret: The Ozone Bath

Finally, I want to share a universal treatment that I believe promotes incredible health: the ozone bath. The air just before sunrise is rich with ozone and cosmic energy. To capture this, here's what you do:

The night before, fill a pot with water and leave it on an open terrace or balcony overnight. It’s best to use an iron pot, as it adds its own mineral properties. If not iron, use stainless steel. Avoid plastic if you can.

Overnight, the water will absorb the energy from the stars and the ozone from the atmosphere. Wake up just before the sun rises and bathe with this water. Drink a glass of it as well. The energy in this water is immense. Bathing in it just 15 minutes before sunrise gives you the full benefit. If you wait until 30 minutes after sunrise, most of the energy will have dissipated. This single practice, the ozone bath, is a remedy for all diseases. It recharges your entire body and will leave you feeling incredibly healthy and alive.
