By using natural remedies for hair loss you can avoid the pain, inconvenience and high cost of medical hair loss treatments. The most common base of natural hair loss remedies are herbs and essential oils. Here are a few remedies that contain them:
Red pepper (Capiscum) – It helps to draw blood and nutrients to the scalp and encourages the release of histimines to stimulate cell division and hair regrowth.
Aloe Vera – Taken from the inner leaves of plants, it is a substance in a gel formation that is known for its ability to calm irritated skin. It protects the scalp and hair and also known as a good remedy against Alopecia.
Saw Palmetto – this powerful extract has been shown to reduce DHT levels and unblock hair follicles. It is also helpful in preventing prostate problems, which are also due to DHT accumulation.
Dong Quai – It is a traditional Chinese herb that contains phytoestrogens that reduces the formation of DHT. Hence, this herb is believed to stop hair loss and even regrow hairs.
Lemongrass – A pale green stalk about 18 inches long. This herb stables oil product in the scalp. It also increases fullness and body to the hair. Aromatherapy as a treatment for hair loss is becoming increasingly popular, but the basis is not necessarily scientific. Experts in aromatherapy use the oils obtained from bay, cedar wood, grapefruit, jojoba, lavender, lemon, rosemary, thyme and Roman chamomile. Users massage these compounds into the scalp and disperse them into the air with special dispersing units. The combined effect of absorption and inhalation apparently arrests hair loss. Some users even report renewed hair growth after using this method.
Nettles – can be applied topically or internally to stimulate growth and prevent baldness. This hair loss treatment can also darken gray hair and improve follicle strength.
Ginko Biloba – for increased blood circulation to the head
Green Tea – an enzyme inhibitor preventing DHT build-up
He Shou Wu – moderates kidney, liver and blood function
Pygeum – Another enzyme inhibitor good for minimizing DHT
Saw Palmetto – Used for male baldness but effective for women too
Stinging Nettle Tea – Prevents production of DHT
