Meditation
The goal of executing meditation is to bring a heightened level of consciousness and reduce distractions and stress. The practice of meditation has also been demonstrated to affect one’s mental health positively. According to studies, anxiety symptoms might cause an intentional habit of scratching the head, making skin rough and red, leaving it more vulnerable to infection. Moreover, the itching, pain, and dry flakes of skin the scalp reacts with as a result of irritation may create a self-perpetuating cycle. Common physical manifestations of anxiety disorders can include a sense of burning, itching, prickling, crawling, soreness, or pressure on the scalp.
An itchy scalp is also associated with other mental illnesses, such as panic disorder. With practice, meditation may lead to a profound feeling of calmness and helps manage stress. Incorporating it as a daily habit can improve physical and mental health, eventually improving scalp pruritus. According to recently published research, itching perception may be reduced by the age-old meditation practice. Furthermore, it can alleviate scalp itching due to eczema or atopic dermatitis, a skin condition that causes inflammation. Meditation classes, tapes, apps, and podcasts are great resources for beginners, at least 10 minutes daily.
