Herbal Remedies For Hair Loss - Articles Surfing

Hair loss is a problem that is more common to men than women. Male pattern baldness can be expected when a man reaches 40 years of age. This condition is due to heredity more than anything else. It is then very important that hair loss is treated at an early stage. Otherwise, it can become hard to reverse the condition.

Herbal remedies can always be used for hair loss. These natural remedies have been used for the longest time against male pattern baldness and all symptoms of hair loss. In fact, there are many commercial drugs that use these herbs as primary ingredients. The goodness about using herbs for hair loss is that they can naturally restore a person's full crown of hair with regular use.

Sage is one herb that is recommended for hair loss. It can be used along with apple cider vinegar. Make sage tea and add it to the vinegar in equal parts. Use it to rinse your hair. The combination of these two herbs induces hair growth. For your final rinse, you can use either chamomile or catmint. These herbs smell good and would leave your hair with a nice scent. Both catmint and chamomile can address the itchiness associated to hair loss.

For internal stimulation of hair growth, aloe, stinging nettle, watercress, birch leaves, and nettles are normally used. These herbs are known for their abilities to cleanse the skin and the blood. The edible juice extracts of these herbs mixed with water can be used to restore the fullness of you hair. They work by stimulating the flow of blood towards the scalp. Be sure to follow the prescription of a licensed herbalist to be sure.

Both licorice and horsetail can be used to keep the hair strong, shiny, and intact. There are many shampoos containing these herbs. Be sure to opt for them when deciding which one to buy. However, you have to be very sure that the shampoo you choose is mild to the scalp. Licorice can directly help prevent hair loss. Horsetail, on the other hand, is rich in silica. Silica is a popular ingredient that keeps the hair healthy. If you can't find a mild shampoo with horsetail, just buy any regular baby shampoo. Put two tablespoons of horsetail in four ounces of hot water and add it to the shampoo. That should address your hair loss problems.

For hair loss due to dandruff, use rosemary. This herb, along with arnica and marigold, is a good hair loss solution. The infused oils of this herb can be massaged into the scalp regularly for best effects.

Other herbal remedies which might be effective for hair loss:

' Evergreen Bark for Hair Loss: The bark of evergreen works on hair loss problems in the same way as green tea does. It controls and treats prograssive hair loss. Just take 60 to 500 mg of evergreen bark herb a day either in capsule or pill form for best effect.

' Ginkgo for Hair Loss: Ginkgo biloba helps improve the circulation of blood to the brain and skin. As blood flow to the brain area increases, nutrients are delivered to the hair follicles and that initiate hair re-growth. Take at least 120 to 160 mg of dry Gingko biloba extract per day to treat male pattern hair loss.

' Saw Palmetto Remedy for Hair Loss: Saw Palmetto encourages hair re-growth and slows down hair loss. Saw palmetto forms the core elements that help treat baldness. Take a recommended dose of 160 mg twice a day.

If you have hair problems, always use mild shampoo for your hair. To use the herb as a hair wash, pour a handful of rosemary into a pan and cover it with water. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Let it cool down. Strain and put a few drops of any type of oil. Use this daily after shampoo.
