Natural Means of Reversing the Hair Loss Process

Hair loss does not have to be a permanent affliction. Please be wary of putting additional chemicals on your hair and into your body in the name of ‘hair regrowth’ promises. Remember, for every ailment that occurs in nature, there is a treatment in nature.

Here are a few pointers to help you reverse hair loss naturally:

• Foods rich in zinc content like oysters, oats, dairy products, and eggs must be taken in good amounts as this mineral is essential for hair growth.
• Practicing yoga and meditation regularly drives away stress, which can be a causal factor of hair loss.
• Aromatic oils of herbs like rosemary, catmint, lavender and chamomile are used for massaging the scalp that helps in healthy hair growth.
• Green tea is an effective hair growth treatment for female pattern baldness. The tea contains compounds which prevent the over-production of DHT (dihydrotestosterone), which causes female pattern baldness. This treatment works when applied directly to the scalp.
• Grinding lime seeds and black pepper together can create a paste that can be used to massage the scalp with. This paste can effectively treat hair loss by leaving it on for 15 minutes each day.
• Biotin is also known as the miracle hair vitamin. Biotin deficiency alone can already cause hair loss. On the other hand, when your body gets sufficient amounts of biotin, the scalp then starts to produce more hair. Since biotin is a required nutrient in the natural production of hair, it is highly recommended that you start eating more foods that are rich in biotin or take biotin supplements.
• Mix some amount of jojoba oil with rosemary oil and massage onto your hair and scalp. Leave this mix on the hair for 30 minutes and then rinse off. Rosemary oil is known to reduce the production of DHT in the body, thus stimulating hair growth.
