Hair loss is a crucial symptom that may indicate any one
of a host of possible illnesses or medical conditions. To come up with the
right medical treatments to reverse female hair loss, you need to make sure
that you know which illness you really have first so that the right treatment
can be adopted.
Balanced diet rules
One of the most basic factors you should look into is
the type of diet you are eating. It is always best to eat a balanced diet,
particularly one that is rich in organic food which has anti-aging properties.
Eat more ginger, garlic, berries like blackberries, strawberries, raspberries
and blueberries and fresh and partially cooked vegetables. The important thing
to remember about vegetables is that you just need to cook them enough to kill any
germs that may harm you from inside your body but not cooked to the point that
nutrients are destroyed altogether.
Extracting the Juice
One unique study was done in the Department of
Dermatology and Venereology of the Baghdad Teaching Hospital of Iraq about the
use of onions for hair re-growth. The results showed that using topical crude
onion juice was successful in treating 73% of the test subjects who were
afflicted with alopecia areata. So you could probably grate onions, squeeze out
their juice to rub on your scalp, and use the pulp remaining for food purposes.
Calm your scalp
You can also do a simple scalp massage so that
circulation will become revved up in your scalp. You can do this while in the
shower, or when you are relaxing somewhere (maybe in the bedroom). Scalp
massages happen to be very soothing so if you are having a bit of trouble
sleeping this could have an additional therapeutic effect of lulling you to
sleep.
Undiscovered herbs and organic matters
Certain other substances are believed to have hair
re-growth properties so do your research as to whether they have B-vitamins,
halt the production of dyhydrotestosterone (DHT) or simply stimulate the scalp.
Some of these substances are Polysorbate-80, Henna, Aloe Vera, Jojoba Oil,
Sage, Rosemary, Nettle Root Extract, and Saw Palmetto Extract. Saw Palmetto
Extract should not be used by women by the way. Also, it may seem incredible,
but some sources say the fat from the large Emu bird (known as Emu oil) can
induce more hair growth too. It works by stimulating circulation in the scalp
as well so that hair re-growth is encouraged.
Get medical help
If using such substances does not seem to work, you may
want to consider the more drastic step of having a hair transplant done on you.
A hair transplant is a minor surgical operation wherein portions from your
still-healthy scalp are transplanted to the parts that are balding so that the
healthy transplants can induce hair growth there. It should be stressed that
not everyone is a good candidate for this surgery though because some people
already have very unhealthy scalps or have lost all their hair already.
Work with your inner self
You should try to eliminate as much stressful activity
from your life as possible, without compromising your ability to work and
function normally. Stress has been identified as a possible cause of hair loss
too. If you are under a great degree of stress, you might want to pursue an
anti-stress regimen like meditation or yoga to decompress.
There are more and more advances being made at
addressing hair loss nowadays. You just need to be vigilant at finding out
which ones may work for you. Of course, it is advisable to be under the care of
the right doctor before trying out any medical or alternative hair loss treatments
of any sort.
