Male Hair Loss: Natural Hair Loss Treatment

Men have been fighting hair loss since the beginning of time
with methods that are at times ridiculous and dangerous.
Today’s man has more choices than previous generations, but
harsh and unnatural chemicals may not be the first choice for
many men. Fortunately, there are several hair loss products
that are based on traditional, natural treatments that may be
just as effective. 

Male pattern baldness is often genetic and/or related to too
much dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the follicles of the scalp.
This is a specific type of testosterone that is only found in
hair follicles. For years, saw palmetto oil has been used to
treat prostate problems, and it has been found to have some
beneficial effect in blocking the DHT that causes most male
hair loss. 

A good multivitiman containing B5, folic acid, silica and
biotin will help maintain hair health, but be sure to regulate
your dosages carefully. Taking in excess of 30mg of zinc daily
can cause a copper deficiency, often linked to hair loss.
Before supplementing copper, restrict your intake of zinc, as
copper can become toxic. 

Traditional asian medicine links hair loss to kidney
malfunction and often prescribes a kidney tonic to correct male
hair loss. Another ancient remedy is aromatherapy and the use of
essential oils. A combination of rosemary, thyme, lavender and
cedarwood was studied in Scotland and the results were
encouraging. The essential oils were mixed with a carrier oil,
either almond or grapeseed oil, warmed and then rubbed into the
scalp. The treatment was continued with a warm head wrap. Used
for several months, the tonic helped over 40% of the study’s
participants regrow hair. 

Perhaps the easiest natural treatment for male hair loss is a
change of diet. Increasing foods rich in iron and silica seems
to help strengthen the existing hair and encourage new growth.
Consider adding foods rich in silica like potato and cucumber
skins, peppers and sprouts. 

In today’s overly medicated society, many are hesitant to try
another prescription drug. You have a choice not to. Many of
the natural hair loss treatments are pleasant and more often
than not, have no side effects. You may be pleasantly surprised
at the results.
