How To Stop Hair Loss Naturally
Hair loss in women is becoming a more and more prevalent and frequent occurrence in women today. It is estimated that over 25 million American women suffer FPB, or female pattern baldness - and they suffer the emotionally devastating consequences this brings with it.
Seeking A Cure
A real breakthrough in hair loss treatment came with the confirmation in the late `90s that a relationship exists between AGA and a form of testosterone called DHT (dihydrotestosterone). High levels of DHT were associated with male pattern baldness as well as prostate enlargement.
Minoxidil (sold as Regaine)
This is the only topical treatment (one that you rub into the skin) which is actually licensed for the treatment of male pattern baldness in the UK. It was originally developed (in tablet form) as a drug for high blood pressure. Doctors noticed that people on minoxidil sometimes grew new hair, so the drug was reformulated for this purpose.
Herbal hair loss treatment:
Saini Herbal Scalp & Hair Conditioner® is a totally natural herbal extract and has no chemicals. Its base is white paraffin, a mixing carrier for the herbs used. White paraffin is used in everyday lotions and cosmetics, even baby oil. Saini Herbal Scalp & Hair Conditioner® works wonders and stops hair loss by starting to reverse the effects of DHT, removing harmful scalp buildup that obstructs essential flow of blood to hair roots, eliminates dandruff almost immediately and rejuvenates weak, limp and dull hair back to its former thickness, shine and vigor.
In addition to these ingredients, which help stop hair loss naturally, massage is also beneficial. Massage stimulates circulation. As already noted, good circulation in the scalp keeps hair follicles active. Experts suggest a few minutes of daily head massage by hand. Circulation through massage may be improved by using a few drops of lavender or bay essential oil in an almond or sesame oil base with massage.
There is sufficient evidence to support the benefits of regular massage of the affected area. This stimulates blood circulation and can help dormant hair follicles to yield new growth. Massage for stopping hair loss can be done manually or with the help of electrical massagers. In cases where prostate abnormalities in a male hair cause hair loss, natural remedy specialists often prescribe saw palmetto extract. This compound lowers the incidence of androgenetic alopecia. It can sometimes be useful in cases of female hair loss, too. However, its use on women using oral contraceptives or any kind of hormone therapy is contraindicated.
