Medications are not your only option to consider when looking for ways to treat your hair loss. Herbs are often overlooked and they have an added benefit of being sold over the counter, so you can get them at a local drug store. These herbs are being used everyday by people who are looking for alternatives products and treatments for there hair loss. We will look at a couple of the more common hair loss herbs that are used to treat hair thinning and baldness.
Please be aware that these are not medications and should be treated as such. With these herbs there are no guarantee's on if or how well they will work for you even if you read about them working for someone else. The plus side is you should not have to worry very much about side effects from using them.
All of the herbs that are suggested will work in different ways. Below are a few of the more common hair loss herbs and how they may affect your hair.
1. Chamomile - This herb is great for not only its ability to help with healthy hair growth but also in its helping in reducing stress levels. You will find that in some cases stress is directly related to hair loss, so the reduction in stress should help in that area also.
2. Catnip or Burdock - These two herbs are useful for healthy hair growth; this in turn reduces the effects or risk of hair loss. You will usually find these two herbs in a solution, such as in a hair loss shampoo or conditioner, which you apply, as you would normally use one of these products.
3. Saw Palmetto - You will find a lot written about this particular herb. Using this herb will help with the reduction of DHT, A normal hormone found in both men and women. If too much of this hormone is produced, it will affect the hair follicles making it easier for your hair to fall out.
4. Green Tea - In studies of women in Japan, researchers have found that by drinking the herb it could help to increase their levels of the sex hormone binding globulin. This then helps to prevent their bodies from producing too much of the male hormone testosterone, often found to be a cause for hair loss in women.
Along with these hair loss herbs we have mentioned here, you will find that there are plenty of other herbs that are suggested to treat this condition. Some of these are apple cider vinegar, sage tea, and psoralea seeds; you would apply these directly to the scalp. A few others would be ginger or liquorice extract. Remember your results will very and you will have to evaluate how well they work for you.
