Are you losing hair and considering trying natural treatments? Have you considered that some herbs may help, and have been prescribed by herbalists for centuries? It certainly makes sense to try natural approaches like hair loss herbs before resorting to drugs or even surgery! Your mileage may vary, and herbs may not work for everyone, but they are worth considering at least.
Always consult your doctor, and possibly an herbalist as well.
Ginkgo Biloba is an ancient and unique species of tree that was thought to be extinct for centuries until it was rediscovered in China.
Usually 40-200 mg per day is taken, and it is thought to increase blood flow including microcirculation in small capillaries in many parts of the body.
Research results have been in conflict, but herbalists believe it increases blood flow to the scalp and can rejuvenate hair follicles.
Algae extract is known for its non-irritating and non-comedogenic moisturization qualities, supplies high levels of amino acids, minerals and vitamins, and as an anti-oxidant.
It has long been used by herbalists.
Atlantic kelp and himanthalia elongata specifically are used for hair growth.
Not any old algae will do! Rosemary may be more familiar, and it has been used for a long time to fight hair loss.
Rosemary applied directly to the scalp can promote new cell growth says the American Osteopathic College of Dermatology.
It contains rosmarinic acid, which is an anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory.
Other herbs that herbalists believe can help include saw palmetto, green tea, and Dong Quai.
You do need to proceed with caution as some of these herbs may interact negatively with any medicines you are taking, and may not be appropriate for you for other medial reasons.
ALWAYS consult you doctor first! Some people report amazing results from hair loss herbs.
They may work well for you, and the only way to know for sure is to try them.
