loss.
However, some methods that have been used work on
some people. Here are some suggestions for natural
remedies to hair loss.
Massage
Massaging the scalp in general for a couple of
minutes a day can stimulate blood flow to the hair
follicles and in mild cases stimulate some hair
growth in minor cases of temporary hair loss.
There are several electric massagers on the market
that have an attachment for scalp massaging as well.
An oriental method called Qi Gong (pronounced Chi
Kung) has been used to increase circulation to the
scalp and face also.
Aromatherapy
A blend of six drops each of lavender and bay
essential oils in a base of four ounces of either
almond, soybean or sesame oil massaged into the scalp
and allowed to sit for 20 minutes has been used by
aroma therapists to stimulate the scalp.

Saw Palmetto Extract
There is a definite connection between the prostate
and hair loss for men. Saw Palmetto has been found to
work in fighting benign prostatic disease by lowering
levels of DHT, which is a known cause of androgenetic
alopecia.
Saw Palmetto extract is an effective anti-androgen
and shows promise as an effective treatment for hair
loss prevention. More information on Saw Palmetto for
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Women on oral contraceptives or hormone therapy
should not take Saw Palmetto.
Nettle Root Extract
Nettles are rich in vitamins A and C, several key
minerals and lipids that can be beneficial to the
hair. Nettle Root Extract has been used successfully
in Europe as an inhibitor of 5-alpha reductase in
treating BPH.
Rosemary and Sage
Rosemary and sage are two herbs that have shown
benefit traditionally when used externally. Boil
together in water rosemary, sage, peach leaf, nettle
and burdock. Then strain the loose herbs from the
liquid and use the liquid to wash the hair daily.
Jojoba Oil
If you are predisposed to seborrhea, eczema,
psoriasis, or dandruff, you could consider using
jojoba oil. Mexicans and southwestern Native American
nations have used jojoba oil traditionally for
centuries to promote hair growth and the control of
dandruff. Jojoba oil is great for hypoallergenic skin
because it is a great moisturizer and mimics the
scalp's own sebum.

Aloe Vera has been used by Native Americans, Indians
and many in the Caribbean to promote healthy hair and
prevent hair loss. Aloe's can help the scalp by
healing it and balancing the pH level of the scalp
while cleansing the pores. A common preparation of
Aloe Vera gel with a small amount of wheat germ oil
and coconut milk is used as a shampoo and has
traditionally shown great benefit.
Henna
Henna is a traditional Indian herb that acts as a
natural conditioner and is excellent for the
maintenance of healthy hair. It can help heal the
hair shaft by repairing and sealing the cuticle,
protecting hair against breakage and loss of shine.
Polysorbate-80
Polysorbate-80 is an FDA approved surfactant that is
also approved as a food additive. Although not
proven, Polysorbate-80 is said to remove deposits of
DHT and cholesterol from the scalp. Polysorbate-80 is
being recommended by some naturopathic practitioners
as an application for the scalp approximately 15
minutes prior to shampooing.
Cleansing and Detoxification
Cleansing should be a major part of your regimen to
maintain and grow hair. Many scalp related diseases
are directly the result of toxemia, while toxins in
the body adversely affecting the body's systems
indirectly affect other conditions. Cleansing can be
performed through oral means regularly and
occasionally by enema or colonic irrigation.

Psyllium husk
Fiber is vital to cleansing, and most North American
diets are deficient in natural fiber. Psyllium husk
is a bulking laxative agent that can be used to
safely move waste through the colon. Psyllium is a
very good substance as it gently scrubs the walls of
the colon to remove waste that is stuck to the walls.
Exercise
Finally, although exercise does absolutely nothing
directly to grow hair, most holistic practitioners
recommend it. Exercising can improve blood flow, the
delivery of oxygen to the cells of the body, and help
the digestion of foods, all things that aid the
health of hair follicles.
