Natural treatments for hair loss

Women's Alopecia

For women, it is even tougher because their menstrual history is important. Women may notice their menstrual cycles are heavier, with greater blood loss, and sure enough, they can be anemic, which correlates with hair shedding and thinning. For many women, it can be a chronic hair shedding that never recovers. I would usually advise women to take a multi-vitamin of their choice and extra vitamin C with iron. It can’t hurt and might help alleviate any underlying anemia they may be experiencing. Why the vitamin C? It helps absorb the iron in the gut.

To me, that is about all the nutritional supplementation that you need.

Men would probably benefit from the multi-vitamin, vitamin C with iron, since our diets are “on the run” these days with nutritional content being varied so much from day to day. By and large, if you are a normal, healthy American on a “normal” diet, with no apparent nutritional problem, then taking high doses of extra vitamins, nutritional supplements, herbal agents may not be quired.

Necessary Clinical Testing

There have been so many herbal supplements that have hit the marketplace, and for some people taking them who have hair loss, they swear they are seeing improvements. The problem is documentation. People want proof in the way of standardized photography taken by experts with controlled lighting, film exposure and film quality. Taking a snapshot, or quick digital photo just doesn’t cut the mustard.

For now, CAUTION is advised for any nutritional/herbal supplement you decide to take to treat your hair loss. For many, like biotin, they may not hurt you, but I doubt it will really help you.

Next issue will continue on herbal remedies and will discuss: Pygeum, Nettles, Green Tea, and Omega-3 Fish Oils.
