Natural cures for hair loss
Dealing with hair loss can be tough, but there are things that you can do to help fight it. The first thing you need to understand, is why are you losing your hair. Hair loss can be caused a plethora of things including diet, stress, medications, aging, but the majority of the male population’s hair loss is hereditary. Since mankind lost their tails and started walking upright, they have been dealing with pattern baldness. Perhaps the genes that caused too much androgen in man’s system which leads to the formation hair follicle strangling DHT, were also beneficial in evolutionary sense. I mean, they probably had to be since over half of the population carries the gene. Still any evolutionary benefits that male pattern baldness has contributed has been offset with our current technological progress and just like our gall bladders, it is not something that really need any more.
Nature Vs. Science
This past decade, the balding world has been buzzing with the latest technological advancements that science has come up with to deal with hair loss. Drugs like minoxidil and finesterade were discovered and were soon being marketed as miracle cures for baldness. Late night infomercials, started advertising revolutionary hair transplant techniques that involved taking the healthy hair from the back of your head and putting it back on top. For enough money, you could buy yourself confidence.
While science has come a long way in helping men and women fight hair loss with products like Rogaine and Provillus, sometimes it is better to look backwards rather than forwards. Home remedies for hair loss have been around since the dawn of civilization, and it would be fool hardy to dismiss some of these cures just because they were not cooked up on a lab somewhere. For instance Saw palmetto and nettle root have been used for medicinal purposes since the time of the Mayans, and research has found that both have DHT inhibiting capabilities when massaged on the scalp. Amla, or Indian Gooseberry, has been used for centuries as a hair treatment and is thought to help strengthening existing hair. The gel of the Aloe Vera plant is also thought to be a good remedy to combat hair loss as are the oils traditionally used in aromatherapy.
Prevention is the best cure
While hair loss due to heredity can have an inevitable feel to it, it can be staved off if you take action and do things to maintain a healthy head of hair. Diet is key in maintaining healthy hair. The modern diet, rich in greasy, fatty, fortified foods is not helping your scalp get all the nutrients it needs in order to maintain healthy hair growth. It is important to get all of your essential vitamins and minerals, especially your B-vitamins and Calcium if you do not want to experience premature hair loss. Taking good care of the hair that you have is also important. protect hour head in hash environments and try not to use harsh shampoos or chemical treatments. Also, long hair tied back in a tight ponytail will do a lot of damage to your hair.
A balance
In this new post modern world of ours, I think a person can maintian a balance between science and nature. The provillus treatment for hair loss is, in my opinion, a great example of this. While provillus does not try to ignore scientific edvancement and includes the modern miracle drug, minoxidil, in their treatment, they also are not afraid to look back to nature and include a supplement that contains essential vitamins and minerals (biotin, magnesium) that are important for mainting healthy hair, as well as several different herbal extracts (saw palmetto, nettle) that have been used for centuries to treat hair and hair loss.
