In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Since an itchy scalp can have so many causes, it’s good to pinpoint the cause before trying to treat it. Your doctor or dermatologist can evaluate your scalp and determine the best way to deal with the issue and prevent future itching. If you’ve been trying essential oils, other home remedies, or over-the-counter medications to treat or prevent scalp itchiness for a few weeks without success, see your doctor. They may be able to recommend or prescribe another treatment that can help. For example, if your scalp is itching because of a fungal infection, you may benefit from a prescription antifungal medication or shampoo. If you have itching that is severe enough to keep you up at night or distract you from daily activities, see a doctor or dermatologist. This may be a symptom of a more serious infection or other underlying condition. You should also let your doctor know if you have open sores on your scalp or if the itchy spots are painful or tender to the touch. Even natural treatments such as essential oils can cause allergies or other serious side effects. If you experience any bad reactions while using an essential oil on your scalp, stop using it and call your doctor.  Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience symptoms such as a severe, widespread, or painful rash that develops suddenly, or a rash that affects your face. Even if the rash is small or mild, get medical attention if it doesn’t improve within 3 weeks. Get immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms such as a fever, blisters filled with pus, swelling of your face, mouth, or tongue, difficulty breathing, nausea and vomiting, dizziness or lightheadedness, or a rapid heartbeat.
Summary: See your doctor if you’re not sure what’s causing your itchy scalp. Contact your doctor if home remedies don’t help with your itching. Make an appointment if you experience severe itching or other serious symptoms. Seek medical care if you have a severe reaction to an essential oil.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This includes your body, your clothes, and the place of prayer itself.   Perform wudu. You must be ritually pure before you go start praying. If you're not, it's required to perform Wudu "ablution" before you do. If since your last prayer, you have urinated, defecated, passed gas, bled excessively, or fallen asleep deeply, you need to perform wudu  If you are praying in a masjid (mosque), which is highly encouraged for men, enter quietly—other Muslims might still be praying and you don't want to disturb them. If you are unsure of the cleanliness of your area, spread a mat or cloth on the floor for good measure. This mat (or prayer rug) is very important to Islamic culture. Certain circumstances will require that you perform ghusl instead of wudu to be cleansed after removing najas (impurities) and before praying. If you wish to pray after having sexual intercourse, ending your menstruation period or postpartum bleeding, giving birth, having a wet dream or ejaculating, you need to perform ghusl.    To perform ghusl, you must wash your entire body and hair with water. It is recommended that you wash 3 times. Note that when you perform either wudu or ghusl, anything that prevents water from touching the obligatory areas of the body must be removed, including things such as nail polish, accessories, and waterproof mascara. If a Muslim is unable to use water, he or she may choose to perform tayammum instead of wudu or ghusl. This rite involves using clean soil or dirt or a natural rock that has not been used before to perform tayammum. This is the direction all Muslims face to turn in prayer towards the Holy Ka'bah. The Holy Mosque in Mecca is the most revered place of worship for Muslims around the entire world. All Muslims are required to face the Ka'bah five times every day when offering their prayers. The five prayers of each day take place at very specific times. For each one, there is a brief period of time it can be performed, determined by the rising and falling of the sun. Each salah takes about 5 to 10 minutes from start to finish, but should never be hurried.  The five prayers are Fajr, Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha. They are at dawn, afternoon, in the mid-afternoon, at sunset, and at night, respectively. They are not at the same time each day, as they are timed by the sun, which changes path throughout the seasons. These are the amount of rak'ah (units) for each of the 5 salah: Obligatory prayers: - Fajr prayer (2 units (Rak'ah)) - Dhuhr prayer (4 units (Rak'ah)) - Asr prayer (4 units (Rak'ah)) - Maghrib prayer (3 units (Rak'ah)) - Isha prayer (4 units (Rak'ah)) more details and optional prayers are as follows:  Fajr - Two rak'ah sunnah mu'akkadah (optional but highly recommended), then two rak'ah fardh (obligatory); Zuhr - Four rak'ah sunnah mu'akkadah (optional but highly recommended), then four rak'ah fardh (obligatory), then two rak'ah sunnah mu'akkdah (optional but highly recommended), then two rak'ah nafl (optional); Asr - Four rak'ah sunnah ghayr mu'akkadah (optional and NOT highly recommended), then four rak'ah fardh (obligatory); Maghrib - Three rak'ah fardh (obligatory), then two rak'ah sunnah mu'akkadah (optional but highly recommended), then two rak'ah nafl (optional); Isha - Four rak'ah sunnah, then four rak'ah fardh (obligatory), then two rak'ah sunnah mu'akkadah (optional but highly recommended), then two rak'ah nafl (optional), then three rak'ah witr (optional but highly recommended), then two rak'ah nafl (optional). Salah must be performed in the Arabic language because this is the language that the Qur’an was revealed in. It also allows Muslims outside of Arabic-speaking countries to recite the prayers and understand what is being said. Speaking all prayers in the same language avoids the confusion of translating words into other languages.  Use online sources to help you pronounce the obligatory prayer words, such as Rosetta Stone, Salaam Arabic, hosted by Pangaea Learning, Madinah Arabic or Youtube sources. Take a course in Arabic at your local college. Learn and practice the correct pronunciations with an Arabic speaker. Men and women must both cover themselves with material that covers the skin throughout the prayer. While women must cover everything but their faces and hands, men must keep the area between their navel and knees covered. The material must cover the body during prayer movements. So if, for example, bending causes a piece of material to slip and expose skin on a woman’s neck, she would need to ensure that her clothing is tucked in properly or put more clothing on before she can start her prayer.
Summary:
Ensure the area is clean and free of impurities. Perform ghusl (full shower) if needed. Perform tayammum (dry purification) if needed. Face the Qibla. Pray at the proper time. Learn to say prayers in Arabic. Cover yourself.
