Hair loss is a sad and worrisome experience for everyone. There can be a number of factors that can lead to loss of hair. Here are some suggestions for natural remedies to hair loss. These tips help in hair regeneration but if the loss is on large scale then its better to see an expert.
1. Vitamins A, E and B-complex are essential for the growth and health of hair. Vitamin A is necessary for the sebum production in the scalp. Under sebum deficiency, hair grows brittle and dry. Vitamin E plays a role in repairing damaged scalp. It also keeps the hair follicles clear and healthy. Vitamin B-complex is responsible for the over-all health and strength of the hair. All these vitamins are found in fruits and green-leafy vegetables. Minerals such as iron, calcium, iodine and zinc are a must for hair strength. Calcium and iodine are found in dairy products while zinc and iron are present in foods rich in protein content. Deficiency of these vitamins and minerals is directly linked with hair loss. Thus, you need to increase their intake and grow hair faster naturally.
2. Herbs often perform multipurpose functions that can produce results that are beneficial for both the hair loss and the overall condition causing hair loss. Dong quai, saw palmetto and black cohosh are excellent herbal supplements that can be found at most health food stores. These herbs are beneficial for hair loss that stems from excess testosterone because they contain plant based estrogen. Stress and emotional turmoil cause hair loss as well. Taking a vitamin B supplement will help the body cope as well as encourage hair growth. Vitamin B and essential fatty acids are both beneficial in the treatment of malnutrition.
3. Amla oil, prepared by boiling dry pieces of amla in coconut oil, is considered a valuable hair tonic for enriching hair growth. A mixture of an equal quantity of fresh amla juice and lemon juice, used as a shampoo also stimulates hair growth and prevents hair loss. Rubbing amla into the scalp directly and regularly will stop hair fall.
4. Olive oil is one of the easiest hair loss remedies around. Massage it into your scalp to stimulate natural hair growth. It will cleanse your scalp by penetrating deep into your pores to lift dirt and other debris which can clog your follicles and prevent growth.
5. Scalp is the body part that remains deprived of good blood circulation. There are two main reasons behind it. Firstly, scalp does not receive as much stimulation as the rest of the body. Secondly, circulation of blood in the scalp is limited as it lacks muscles under it. Because of these reasons, in 9 out of 10 cases, the hair does not get sufficient amount of nutrition for its growth and health.
6. Take some leaves of henna and boil them into mustard oil. Massage of this prepared oil is very effective to treat hair loss. Regular massage of the head with the oil will produce abundant hair.
