The effectiveness of modern hair loss treatments is clear for all to see, but many people simply prefer not to use strong chemicals or non-natural substances.

If you fall into this category, does this mean you’ll just have to accept an ever-decreasing head of hair? The answer to this is an unequivocal NO!

%GOOGLEAD% Many natural hair loss remedies, both traditional and contemporary, have shown their worth in reducing and reversing hair loss. They are also perceived as being free from side effects and even deliver additional health benefits.

Why then, don’t we hear a lot more about these natural hair loss remedies? Simply because claims of cures cannot be made without FDA approval, and obtaining the FDA seal of approval involves lengthy and expensive scientific research that only major companies can afford. Even the biggest companies could not recoup the costs of such a process as no-one can control the rights to common natural substances such as basic foods and vitamins.

The big question however is, do natural hair loss remedies work? Firstly, hair growth at root level is a living part of the body that depends on sound nutrition, just like any other part of the body. The importance of vitamins, minerals and other nutritional elements in maintaining healthy hair cannot be disputed.

Secondly, the role of herbs and plants in treating numerous ailments is receiving increased recognition after years of neglect, and hair loss is no exception. Many herbal remedies for both internal and external use are offering new hope to people suffering from premature hair loss.

Thirdly, traditional hair loss remedies may still have something to offer. Ancient literature and folklore reveal that our ancestors went to great lengths to treat thinning hair. Some of the more acceptable traditional approaches are now being incorporated into many potential treatment regimes.

Well, it sounds pretty hard to believe. Why would you even consider such a
claim? Here is one reason why you should re-evaluate your skepticism: one of the
ingredients in this detox tea is Burdock root. Burdock root is used in other
hair loss complexes, and it has a reputation among herbologists and Natural
healing apothecaries to detoxify the liver. %GOOGLEAD% It is included in these
prescriptions because Traditional Chinese Medicine draws a direct connection
between the function of the liver and healthy hair. According to the ancient
doctors of the Orient, first the liver must be cleansed, and then the new hair
growth begins.

Isn’t it amazing how cultures other than fast-food quick-fix America have
sought to address the cause first, and then benefit from the natural correction?
Somehow, we have forgotten the common sense of Cause and Effect.

Even if you are currently taking a prescribed drug to prevent hair loss, you

Ayurvedic medicine does not consider Heredity and genes to be the only cause of hair loss. The parishioners of Ayurvedic healing think it has more to do with current lifestyle and dietary habits. In Ayurvedic terms, the cause of all hair problems is an excess of Pitta dosha. Pitta is responsible for all types of transformations in the body. It has the qualities of being Hot, Sharp, Liquid, and Oily.

This excess is believed to occur when we indulge in caffeine rich beverages such as too much coffee or tea. Hair problems are also caused by too much alcohol, meat consumption, and smoking.

Among the prime causes of hair loss are mental tension, anxiety, and poor blood circulation.

Ayurvedic medicine also recognizes that hormonal imbalance causes hair loss.
In this assessment, they are closer to European and American medical doctors.

A very common sense approach to hair loss begins with the command for the individual to locate the root reason for the hair loss. This calls for self-examination of a deeper nature than any western medical practice requires. But according to Ayurvedic practice, if you are critical enough to locate the indulgences and practices that you think may be causing the increase of Pitta dosha, then you can alter your habits, and in doing so, you will halt your hair loss. %GOOGLEAD%

But it isn’t only introspection. One of the primary Indian treatments for hair loss is topical application of special oils. By applying and massaging least three times a week, hair loss is stopped and the scalp is returned to its normal hormonal balance. Coconut oil or mustard oil is often used. Medicated oils such as Mahabhringrai oil, Amala or Arnica oil are considered very effective, as they are massaged directly into the roots of the hair.

Regular physical exercise is considered an important part of any treatment for a hair disorder. Exercise is believed to balance aggravated doshas.

A special Ayurvedic solution made from Eclipta elba, Amala, corals, iron and black sesame seeds has been used to stop hair loss and improve hair production. It has even stopped the graying of hair.

Not only topical massages and physical exercise are required for complete treatment of hair loss, but also certain foods are taken to increase hair growth. A mixture of lettuce and spinach juice as a drink induces hair growth, along with alfalfa juice and carrot juice.

Washing the hair with a paste of cooked black beans and fenugreek two to three times a week is said to induce hair growth.

As strange as some of these applications may seem, all of the ingredients used in Ayurvedic hair loss treatments work because of the chemical compounds within the solutions applied or ingested. This style of treatment works toward a more complete spiritual balance, and attempts to treat the causes and not just the effects.
