Hair loss alternative remedies

Hair loss alternative remedies 

Hair loss may be on account of several reasons. Your hair may be lacking in tensile strength and may be snapping off due to over-brushing. The old adage that 100 brush strokes every day will make your hair shiny and healthy is probably not very accurate.


You could try switching to a wide toothed comb. You could also try using a conditioner or detangling lotion to prevent hair breaking off.

If the hair loss is at the root, then the problem could be nutritional deficiency, hormonal imbalance or just plain old stress.


Genetics also have a major part to play in hair thinning and hair loss. Some people naturally lose hair as they grow older.

Abnormal loss of hair is called alopecia areata and some natural remedies are said to help with the problem. I am listing certain remedies with known benefits for hair loss:

• Garlic oil may be applied in the following fashion to help with bald patches or areas in which hair is thinning out. Do this in the night so you can wash your hair in the morning
• Warm the area with a hot towel
• Apply garlic oil to the bald patches or thinning areas
• Massage the garlic oil into the scalp gently. You can blot out excess oil, but be sure to leave a thin coating.
• Cover your pillow with a towel before you rest your head on it.
• Shampoo in the morning.
• You can also take garlic oil internally in capsule form.
• A mixture of the essential oils of lavender, thyme, rosemary and cedar wood applied on balding patches may help.
• Onion juice also is said to be on benefit and may be applied directly to bald patches or parts of the scalp where hair is thinning.
• If the problem is hormonal, you will also see other gynaecological symptoms. If you have excessive facial hair and have recently experienced some weight gain and often see fluctuations in your periods, you should speak to a gynaecologist.
  

Including fruits and vegetables of various colours and getting 5-9 servings of them every day will help correct nutritional deficiencies. Also try and get plenty of sleep and set aside 10-15 minutes every day just to help yourself relax. In this period you can meditate or do breathing exercises or simply walk around in the outdoors breathing in clean air.
