Herbal Remedies May Slow Down the Genetic Hair Loss Process Over the Years.

While our parents and grandparents may have lost much of their hair, today there is better research and now there are new products that hold some hope for us.

According to some naturopathic doctors, lifestyle changes and herbal support can help produce thicker hair for some people. Among the herbs that they recommend to slow down hormonal effects are saw palmetto, nettle, rosemary, horsetail, pygeum, and corn silk. Other herbs that are often recommended include ginko biloba, ginseng, and licorice. These herbs are also recommended for general health.

Nettle or stinging nettle is very rich in minerals and is usually applied to the scalp. This herb has been used in Europe since the Middle Ages to stimulate hair growth and is still very popular today.

Rosemary is quite rich in antioxidants and is a well known Mediterranean remedy for healthy hair. Rosemary has traditionally been used as a hair remedy for centuries.

These herbs are available in many forms and are some people either take them as capsules or steep the herbs to drink in a tea.

You can also add the extracts of these herbs to a premium quality shampoo to improve its effectiveness. Always shake the shampoo to mix thoroughly before each use. Avoid shampoos that contain the harsher cleansers Sodium Lauryl Sulfate or Sodium Laureth Sulfate.

Very dry hair may be improved by massaging in a very small amount of almond oil. An easier alternative is to use a premium quality herbal moisturizer-conditioner that has a natural oil in it.
