Hair Loss in Women Natural Remedies

You will find hair loss in women natural remedies in this article. Hair loss in women is usually in the form of androgen alopecia where there is too much testosterone in relation to estrogen. The hair is thinning.

Hair loss in women may be due to a weak thyroid. Sometimes women lose hair after childbirth because they don’t lose hair at the normal rate during pregnancy. But after having a baby, women will seem to lose more hair than average; this will calm down after a short time. If this is not the case, hair loss may be due to PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). PCOS is excessive androgen causing either excessive hair (Hirsutism) or hair loss. Both may be from the same basic cause.

Medical perspective is to suppress androgens with Spirolactone or other medications and artificial sex hormones. They may even recommend topical hair gain methods which are expensive and must be used continuously or you lose the hair. There is toxicity and many side effects while not treating the cause for real cure.

Natural perspective on hair loss in women is to treat the causes such as hormonal imbalances (excessive androgens, a weak thyroid, not enough nutrition, and even stress). This can be very successful with many benefits (mental, physical, emotional and no toxicity). Take a combination of the herbs, cell salts, and homeopathics for best effect.

Diet and Supplements: Take a high-quality whole food vitamin for extra nutrition. You should have at least 100 grams of protein a day to maintain structural integrity and hair health. Make a smoothie with extra protein each day. Essential fatty acids such as fish oils, olive oil and primrose oil strengthen the structural integrity of the hair roots. Use evening primrose oil at 1300 to 1500 mg a day for skin and hair health (may affect menstrual cycle). Stop smoking, alcohol, coffee black tea, sodas and processed foods.

Natural Healing Protocol — First, choose an herb. Then add a cell salt or cell salt solution. Finally, choose the homeopathic remedy that fits your situation best. Combining supplements will do more to support your body’s ability to function properly than using just one. Your ability to heal will depend on the severity and length of time symptoms have been present.
