Hair Loss Ayurvedic Medicine
Treating Hair Loss the Alternative Way
Thinning hair occurs for many reasons. Only after a complete and thorough examination by a physician can these reasons be found. It has been found the most common causes of non-genetic related hair loss are genetics, illness, poor diet or stress. Side effects of some medications have also been found to contribute to loss of hair.
Another common reason for baldness is a thyroid malfunction, known as thyroid hair loss. If diagnosed with thyroid hair loss, its is recommended to consult a dermatologist immediately. Reasons surrounding this condition need to be determined as soon as possible in order to properly treat the problem.
Common Problem
Approximately 60 million people in the United States are suffering from hair loss, with the majority being men. It has been found that more then 50% of men over the age of 50 suffer from thinning hair or baldness. Modern studies in medication have introduced effective treatments to help this ongoing problem. Of that percentage, the highest population consists of people who have suffered from thinning hair due to genetics. Hair loss is a pattern phenomenon passed down from either side in the parents.
Alternative Medicines
There are many treatments available for men and women today. Many of these treatments, however, are very costly and may include unwanted side effects. For these reasons, many people have opted for alternative medicines to treat their loss.
One alternative treatment is aromatherapy. During aromatherapy treatments, prime rose oil is applied directly to the scalp. Essential oil extracts from cedar wood, lavender and rosemary have also been used to effectively treat lost hair. Another alternative medicine used is ayurvedic herbal remedies.
Two effective ayurvedic oils are bhringaraj and brahmi oils. These oils have been shown to accelerate hair growth. Continued use of approximately 3 to 6 months is recommended for maximum results. Other popular herbs used to treat hair loss are amala and aswagandha. Various Tibetan herbs and acupuncture treatments have also been proved effective.
Another more effective solution is to find a powerful anti-DHT formula which down not allow enzymes to be created by the hair follicle. This protects the hair shaft as Testosterone in the body cannot be converted into DHT. Dihydrosterone is a very potent compound which is now believe to be the leading causes of the common horsehoe-shaped pattern loss in men and women.
As always, it is recommended to seek the advice of a professional before attempting to treat any condition.
