 Anyone find a natural supplement to help w/extreme scalp oiliness?>>>>>>
I went off of Yaz bcp almost 2 months ago and have been feeling just fine. I now take Inositol, Saw Palmetto, B6, Vitex, and Cinnamon in hopes of controlling excess androgens naturally. Oh, but I still do 100mg Spironolactone. I haven't broken out at all and *so far* the hair loss has just been average.
BUT my scalp oiliness has totally come back! I forgot just how oily I used to be! This is surprising, because I am doing the 100mg of Spiro! I'm thinking of asking to go back up to 200 mg for this reason.
I have to wonder though....is there anyway to combat this naturally? Should I up the dosage of any of my natural supps or add a new one? I wonder about spearmint tea? Would it help with the oiliness?
Besides being, well ugly, I'm concerned that the oiliness will trigger bad hair loss again. I know that androgens are in this oily sebum and worry about it just sitting on my scalp all night. I wash once a day in the morning and really don't want to wash any more than that because I have longish hair and don't want to damage it.
I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Who countest the steps of the sun,
Seeking after that sweet golden clime
Where the traveller’s journey is done;
Where the youth pined away with desire,
And the pale virgin shrouded in snow,
Arise from their graves and aspire;
Where my sunflower wishes to go.
