Thinning hair and excessive hair loss can affect men, women, and children. Did you know that there are a few natural treatments that can help you achieve faster hair growth?
1. Stimulating the scalp and the hair follicles by massages once a day can aid hair growth. For massaging the scalp, use the tips of your fingers and gently massage each part of the scalp. You can use hot oils for the massages like almond oil, rosemary and olive oil.
2. This condition is linked to the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which women have in their ovaries. DHT attacks the follicles causing the strands to fall out. Rosemary and nettle root extract are also effective treatments. Saw palmetto is an herb that lowers the levels of DHT in the body allowing the strands to grow back.
3. Aromatherapy - A combination of 6 drops of lavender and also bay essential oil mixed with four ounces of one of almond, sesame, or soybean oil and then this is applied and then massaged into the scalp. It is best after massaging leave this for around 20 minutes, this has been a method used by aroma therapists to help with stimulation of the scalp.
4. Eating foods high in protein such as chicken and fish will help the body build new cells. Without enough protein in the body, hair follicles do not work properly and can't generate new hair. Another cause of hair loss in women can be iron deficiency. Proper iron levels can be maintained by including lean red meats, dried fruits, soybean products, red beets and broccoli in your diet as these foods are all high in iron.
5. Avoid Excessive Washing: Although a clean scalp is an essential requirement, it is best to avoid washing your hair everyday. This is because the excessive hair washing can strip the hair of the natural oils that protect the hair strands. Place the strainer into an 8-ounce glass jar. Pour boiling water into the jar until the water is about one-quarter of an inch from the top of the jar. Cover the jar with a lid to keep the herbs' essential oils from from escaping.
6. This is why multi-vitamins are a great natural hair regrowth treatment. They contain vitamin B, which is necessary in order for the body to produce enough protein to keep the strands strong and healthy. It is also important to get enough iron, zinc, and copper to stimulate the strands to grow.
7. Nettle Root - The extract from this root is high in the vitamins C and A, and important minerals and lipids that are helpful to hair and hair growth. This has also been used in Europe as an inhibitor of the 5 alpha reductase, another cause of hair loss.
8. Do you know that one of the main reasons for hair loss is stress and mental turmoil! While meditation and yoga have known to help, a good night's sleep is one of the best ways to reduce stress. You can also include a daily exercise regime to improve your body circulation and blood flow to the scalp.
