[N60]Natural Hair Loss Remedy

by Louis Levinthall, Lou

Long before the advent of pharmaceuticals and chemical-based medical compounds, ancient healers used all-natural products to stimulate hair growth. Some of the remedies that they used back then are still in use today. If you're considering doing something to prevent or reverse your hair loss, you should consider what options are available to you, and you should make sure that you are doing all that you can to foster a lifestyle which will promote healthy hair growth.
Almost all hair loss products on the market today could loosely be considered "natural". They're all produced from elements found in nature. Some, however, contain elements that are less synthesized, and are closer to their original form. While effective, synthesized chemical compounds can be problematic as their natural composition is altered, and they may produce limited results or unwanted side-effects.
In this article we consider "natural" hair loss remedies as those where the active ingredients are not processed or treated before their incorporation in the compound. There are a number of such products available, and many have a track record of success in treating premature hair loss. Provillus offers one such solution.
There are a number of different things that you can do to impact hair loss and decrease or reverse the loss of hair that you are experiencing. Here are a few of the most important:
* Include essential oils in your diet. Available as concentrated oils from plants such as lavender or bay, essential oils can help stop hair loss. These oils, when massaged into the hair and scalp, stimulate hair follicles in the scalp and increase hair production in those follicles.
* Increase blood flow and circulation through exercise. It is a well-known fact that exercise will increase blood flow and circulation in the body even after exercise is complete and your body is at rest. Improved circulation, particularly to the scalp, will ensure that essential nutrients are delivered to the scalp and hair follicles, promoting cell and hair growth.
* Herbal remedies. Sage, Rosemary and Burdock are among some of the natural herbs that have shown promise in stimulating the scalp and hair growth. They're used by boiling them in water, straining off the solids, and washing your hair with the solution every day. Jojoba oil is widely used in Mexico in the same manner and is reported to be effective in stimulating hair growth.
* Lowering Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in your bloodstream. DHT is formed when an enzyme in a man or a woman's body acts upon testosterone and is believed to be responsible for the "closing-up" of hair follicles. Provillus shows a lot of prospect; it blocks DHT production and thus shows promise as an aide for hair loss sufferers. You can find Provillus on the web at the links provided below.
Homeopathic physicians usually recommend that some of these treatments be used concurrently. Some have had success, but, as in all cases, different bodies respond differently to any treatment. Still, they are worth a try before more expensive methods are considered.

Looking for a hair loss remedy? Not sure if you should try minoxidil? Thinking about making an appointment with your doctor to talk about your thin, thinner and thinning hair? You can find an effective hair loss remedy, and it's probably a good idea to start by talking to your doctor. There's more than one type of hair loss, and different types have different treatments. You may need blood tests or even a scalp biopsy to determine which type of hair loss you're experiencing.

Not every hair loss remedy is effective. People have been trying to come up with a cure for baldness for centuries, and have found some pretty innovative treatments. None of these treatments have FDA approval, and none have been tested in large-scale studies. In other words, they may or may not work. Every do-it-yourself hair loss remedy is either taken by mouth or rubbed onto the scalp.

Drink a glass of any of these remedies each day:

Coriander Leaf (cilantro) juice
1 tsp apple cider vinegar in water
Smoothie of banana, honey, yogurt and skim milk
Juice mixture of any of the following: alfalfa, lettuce, fresh spinach, cilantro

Over the centuries, people have massaged these concoctions into their heads to treat baldness:

Mix 1 cup mustard oil with 4 tablespoons of henna leaves
Use amla oil, either alone or mixed with coconut milk and/or lime juice
Mix equal parts of alcohol, borox and quinine. (Don't try this one at home—it could give you a pretty good rash)
Rub cow dung onto the bald spot (not in my house…)
Mix a chopped onion and 20 birch leaves in a bottle of alcohol. (It doesn't say what kind of alcohol…)
Grind a bit of licorice and mix with little saffron in skim milk (Do you know how much saffron costs? And you want to rub it on your head?)
Use coconut milk
Or aloe vera juice
Mix honey and egg yolk and apply to the scalp
Rub the bald spot with an onion until it's red, then rub honey into it
Mix castor oil and almond oil, warm it and rub into scalp
Grind black peppercorn with either lemon or lime seeds and rub the paste on thinning spots.
Put raw mango pulp in a jar of oil and leave it to age for a year, then rub it on your head
Make a paste of hot olive oil, honey and cinnamon

The bottom line is, don't take your hair loss too seriously. Stress can make it worse. Relax. Hair loss is a natural process, and nobody ever died from it. With that said, it can be distressing to watch your hair fall out. Treatment is available, and there is a hair loss remedy that will help you. Check with your doctor to see which is best for you.
