The Hair Loss Process and How to Reverse it Naturally

October 21, 2009

What causes hair loss?

Hair loss, be it in men or women is caused by an enzyme which gets converted to Dihydrotestostrone (DHT). DHT gets settled down at the base of follicles, thereby preventing them from growing new hair.

Thus, generally speaking hormonal imbalance is the root cause for hair loss. Particularly in women, the DHT is formed due to reduction in the estrogen level, thereby leading to hair fall.

In men hair loss could be hereditary. But in women menopause is the main reason for hair loss. Apart from this, there could be many other reasons like infection of the scalp, lifestyle, etc.

Hair Loss Remedies:

Researchers have found out that Biotin, Vitamin B6, Zinc and Magnesium are very important for proper growth of hair and for reducing the DHT level. A healthy combination of these nutrients and minerals holds the key to the prevention of formation of DHT in the body. The good news is that it is possible to prevent hair loss.

Hair Loss Medicines:

1. There are many herbal remedies to treat hair loss. Saw palmetto, Muira Pauma, Nettle root are combined which prevents hair loss and also helps to grow dark and luxurious hair.

It is also said that the combination of these herbs is extremely beneficial for the general health of the person and it keeps the mind calm. Saw Palmetto is used in treatment of prostate glands also. So, a person who uses this herbal extract for preventing hair fall gets treatment for prostrate glands as well.

2. Minoxidil is another medicine which is known to prevent hair loss. This is a FDA approved medicine. Some suggest using this medicine in combination with other medicines.

3. If the hair fall is due to infection like formation of dandruff etc., then the attention of a physician would be required. Of course, there are many medicines to cure dandruff.

4. Grafting is another procedure. But this is quite expensive and has many serious side effects.

So hair fall can be prevented by the use of any of the herbal medicines mentioned above. These medicines will not have any side effects and can be safely used for many years.
