YES
I have two possible cures for an itchy scalp. For 5 months now I have been bathing with a 1/2 cup or less of baking soda in my bath water. I had an itchy scalp for about 20 years. It has subsided. I noticed when I forget the baking soda, my scalp gets itchy. Also I make my own plain yogurt, cut out wheat, sugars, and eat and drink fermented items which may be also helping. Diet definitely has an effect on skin outbreaks.
