There are many benefits of using natural treatments. They are more effective, have no or minimal side effects and are less expensive. But before we discuss some natural treatments for hair loss and baldness, let's find out common causes of hair loss as they would help us understand the problem better.

Hormones, medications, lifestyle, menopause, alcohol, improper diet, too much treatment of hair with cosmetics, auto immune malfunction, low blood circulation and others are some of the causes of hair loss in humans.

Next, hair loss can be of various degrees. Someone may experience only breakage of hair, others will complain of regular fall while a few will experience sudden loss of hair with visible bald patches slowly increasing day by day.

Therefore one needs first to find out the cause of hair loss before applying treatment. Remember the first step to any treatment is to find the root cause of it.

If your hair fall is due to hormonal imbalance like estrogen level in females, then one can take herbal supplements which are rich in estrogen to improve the condition. There are many herbs such as Motherwort leaf, Rhodiola rosea root, Saw palmetto berry which contain phytosterols to improve estrogen level in women.

It is strictly advised that one should consult a doctor before taking such natural supplements. You must take a lot of care of your hair. Use shampoos and conditioners which are natural and contain less chemicals and synthetic ingredients. This will slow down hair loss if they are caused due to allergic reaction of chemicals on your skin or scalp.

Many people don't care to use oils and massage their scalps even once in a year. Hair loss is inevitable to those heads which keep away from oils. Hair too needs nourishment and without such treatments you cannot expect them to grow well. So, if you experience hair loss, you can stick to oil and massage therapy at least once in a week to make hair follicles healthy. Another natural treatment for baldness is onion. It has been found that if you massage your bald patch with a fresh cut onion everyday at night before going to bed, it can bring back your hair. You can apply it before dinner and wash it off after two hours.

Natural treatments are not only about applying natural ingredients but also maintenance of personal hygiene and eating healthy. You must make a point that you have regular bowel movements and you eat healthy foods to keep your liver strong and functioning. Your diet should include more green and leafy vegetables and fruits for essential vitamins like Vitamin K, E, B complex and others required for hair growth and prevention of hair fall.

There is no end to natural remedies to stop hair loss. But your natural treatment for hair loss and baldness must be effective to the cause of it. Otherwise you will have no results. Visit a trichologist first to diagnose the cause and then ask him for natural treatments.
