What should you use for my hair loss treatment if you want to keep it natural and avoid drugs? Luckily there are answers to this question. For as long as there have been men, there have been men seeking hair loss treatment. Today, men have more hair loss treatment options than ever before, but many include drugs that can be very dangerous or have side effects. I dont know about you, but Im not sure any amount of hair loss makes me willing to take those drugs. Instead, I have found that there are natural options for treating hair loss in men.
In looking for a natural hair loss treatment, it is important that you understand how hair loss works in the first place. Much of the time, male pattern hair loss is a genetic disorder related to having too much of a chemical called dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the scalp and hair follicles. DHT is actually a form of the male hormone testosterone that is found only in the hair follicles. One natural hair loss treatment that can help with this particular problem is the application of saw palmetto oil. The treatment has been found to have some positive results.
Another good natural treatment for male hair loss is a good multivitamin. Make sure it contains B5, silica, folic acid, and biotin. This can help maintain hair health. However, this natural hair loss treatment does come with a bit of a warning: be careful to regulat your dosages of the vitamin. Taking more than the recommended maximum of 30 mg of zinc per day can cause a copper deficiency. Copper deficiency can actually be counter productive for you since it has been shown to cause hair loss. Copper can be toxic if too high, though, so dont just increase your copper intake, lower your zinc intake.
Maybe the easiest, but least known natural hair loss treatment is simply a change in your diet. By increasing foods that are high in iron and silica you may be able to increase the durability of existing hair and also encourage new hair to grow. Foods that may fit the bill for you are peppers, sprouts, and cucumber skins. All are high in silica. Certain beans and beef are high in iron as well.
Another route you may choose to take in your search for a natural hair loss treatment is Asian medicine. Many traditional Asian medicine experts attribute hair loss to the malfunction of your kidney. To reverse the problem, traditional Asian healers might prescribe a kidney tonic to you. They may also try aromatherapy and essential oils rubbed into the scalp.
We live in a highly medicated society. It is understandable if you seek out a more natural hair loss treatment rather than pumping more drugs into your body. Natural hair loss treatments are pleasant or at the very least do not offer the side effects present in many hair loss drugs. In the end, what you try is up to you and what works is hard to tell. However, seeking a healthy solution to hair loss problems is certainly a great step in the right direction. |
