Hair Loss Remedies

Not everyone who experiences hair thinning, or suffers from hair loss is interested in either expensive procedures to stimulate hair growth, or a lifelong commitment to having to take medication or use specially formulated hair loss shampoo and other topical applications.  Many people use remedies for hair loss that have been around for years.  In fact, one remedy was actually found on the wall of an Egyptian Tomb from before 3000 BC.

Natural Remedies For Hair Loss

For those who are interested in trying other more natural remedies for hair loss, there are many different options. Home remedies for hair loss abound on the internet, with many simply made from ingredients you already have in your kitchen. Some of the purported best natural hair loss remedies include massaging some type of oil into your scalp, such as coconut or olive oil. The oil is no doubt good for your hair, and the massaging will definitely stimulate blood flow to your scalp and hair follicles which should result in a more healthy scalp and thus more healthy hair. It also stimulate hair re-growth which is helpful especially if you have suddenly lost hair due to stress, an illness or pregnancy.

Herbal Remedies For Hair Loss

There are also quite a few options of herbal remedies for hair loss. These are not always as easy to make yourself, as some require special herbs or flowers, but if you aren’t able to make them yourself a quite trip to a health store, or a shop selling natural herb remedies should be sufficient for you to find what you need.

Some herbs which have shown potential for fighting against benign prostate disease, should also be helpful in treating typical male pattern baldness in men. These anti-androgen herbs lower levels of DHT. Excessive production of DHT is the primary cause for male-pattern hair loss, so anything that lowers this should help prevent hair loss. In fact, many popular prescription drugs do the same thing as these herbs, but at a much higher cost.

One specific herb that is known to lower production of DHT is Saw Palmetto extract, which incidentally should not be taken by women.

Nettle, Rosemary and Sage are all key herbs that help fight against excessive hair loss. Usually they are soaked in water and then the water is used to wash the hair.

If hair loss is caused by unhealthy scalp conditions, such as psoriasis, or dandruff, or eczema, then Jojoba oil or Aloe Vera might by the answer to your problems. Both of these have been used by native Americans to help keep hair healthy and scalps free from disease.

Above all, the best thing to ensure healthy hair is to make sure that you have a diet rich in vitamins and minerals, especially Vitamin B and Vitamins A, C and E.
