Herbal Treatments for Hair Loss

Scientific studies and clinical experience show that a number of herbs, botanicals, and nutrients can inhibit DHT, the testosterone derivative that shrinks and ultimately kills hair follicles in people with the gene for male pattern baldness.

In fact, some herbs inhibit the effects of DHT as effectively as — and in many cases even better than — synthetic pharmaceutical drugs.

More than 20,000 scientific papers have been published in journals that attest to the efficacy of herbal, botanical, and nutritional intervention to both prevent and treat all manner of human ills.

Although the alternative forms of medicine are each unique, they are characteristically respectful of the body’s inner self-correcting mechanisms, seeking to assist the body’s natural and spontaneous healing intelligence.

What we call alternative medicine is actually our original medicine. Natural treatments have been the mainstay of medicine since time began. Before the advent of modern pharmaceuticals, barely one hundred years ago, they were the only medicine we had. Certainly, many of these synthesized pharmaceutical drugs are essential and life-saving, but natural treatments are just as vital to our health and well-being, and have the advantage of producing fewer side effects.

For the prevention and treatment of male pattern baldness, herbs have been proven quite effective ,and they can be used alone or in conjunction with other approaches such as pharmaceutical drugs and hair transplantation surgery.

A number of herbal hair loss treatments that might lower DHT levels or prevent DHT from affecting hair follicles are available.
