If a person is bald they can spend literally thousands of
dollars on expensive drugs and therapies and me no better off than when they
started. Why? Because the big pharmaceutical companies don’t
care about how much hair you have they only care about big profits. In studies done on the hair growth drugs the
FDA has certified for hair growth the results are too exciting. Minoxidil provides some hair growth in men
about 50% of the time. So one out of two
men don’t see any growth while the others see a little bit only. The other drug, Finasteride, has better
results of about 70% but pregnant women can’t even touch the pill because of
the possibilities for birth defects.
I think it’s time to see what mother nature provides in the
way of natural hair restoration. These
are all natural remedies that have been around for years and some for
centuries.
- Saw Palmetto Extract- The extract from this plant has been
used for years in Europe to treat
baldness. Originally it was utilized to
treat male prostrate problems by lower DHT levels in the body. Interestingly enough, that is the same method
that Finasteride uses to grow hair and treat male urinary tract problems.
- Nettle Root-this is another plant that been found to treat
many health ailments. The nettle root,
also known as the sticky nettle, has also been found beneficial for hair growth
and male prostrate problems.
- Aromatherapy-By utilizing certain essential oils and
massaging into the skin aroma therapists claim to have good success. A standard mixture is lavender and bay
essential oils in a base of almond or sesame oil.
- Jojoba and Aloe Vera-the Native Americans in the Southwest
have used a mixture of these two natural occurring plants to treat baldness for
centuries.
- Cold water fish-Fish found in the northern latitudes contain
high levels of Vitamin A, Iron, Protein, and Essential Fatty Acids. These are all necessary for health skin,
nails, and hair.
As more and more people are losing faith in the big drug
companies they are looking for alternative medicines that will work as well as
expensive drugs for less price. These
are five natural hair restoration treatments that deserve further study by
you.
