An alternative Approach to Hair Loss For Women
Hair loss can be a sensitive topic
for many, especially women. Female hair loss can happen for a variety of
reasons. The most common causes are malnutrition, stress, and hormonal changes
due to pregnancy or menopause. However, many people are genetically predisposed
to Alopecia. Fortunately, the condition is treatable using natural methods,
which are outlined below.
Change of Habits
A woman who is experiencing hair loss
should examine the ingredients in the hair products being used. Many shampoos
and conditioners contain harsh chemicals that damage the hair over time. This
is also true of hair color, which builds up in the follicles and can stop
growth. Hair dryers and styling irons should be avoided as both cause hair to
become dry and brittle, which can make it break off.
Change of Lifestyle
Losing hair by itself is a
distressing event, and any woman going through it should take a long look at
her lifestyle and whether changes need to be made. Stress is the number one
cause of female hair loss. Adding daily exercise, deep breathing and meditation
can go a long way toward reducing stress. Some women may find talking things through
with a therapist can be helpful as well.
Chinese Medicine
Acupuncture along with dietary
changes can very effective in treating female hair loss. The use of acupuncture
is thought to increase blood flow to the scalp and stimulate growth. Adding
foods such as radishes, sesame seeds and red beans also promote more efficient
circulation. Someone who has been trained in Chinese medicine and acupuncture
will provide the best guidance.
Naturopathic Treatment
This method focuses on a
well-balanced diet featuring fruits, vegetables, lean protein, legumes and
whole grains. More specific foods that are high in iron and biotin such as
molasses, berries, oats, nuts and brown rice can speed up the treatment
process. Messaging oils of lavender, rosemary, thyme or cedarwood into the
scalp while shampooing can provide beneficial conditioning for the hair.
Homeopathic Treatment
The homeopathic approach uses the principle of matching a treatment to a condition. This is achieved by using a small amount of a natural substance that will mimic the condition being treated. In the case of female hair loss, using sepia, calc carb and natrum mur can prove effective when applied by an experienced practitioner. This method should never be tried without supervision.
One
of the benefits of using homeopathic methods as opposed to more traditional
medicines is that there are very little or no side effects because all of the
medicines are natural remedies. Homeopathic treatments can help greatly reduce
or stop the condition in most cases and, when diagnosed early, can help in the
regeneration of hair where follicles are still partially active.
Homeopathic
treatment involves a holistic approach which promotes overall mental and
physical wellbeing. Most homeopathic practitioners will recommend using both
internal and external herbal treatments to promote growth from the roots.
Any woman who is losing her hair
should schedule an appointment with her doctor. While hair loss is usually a
benign and temporary condition that is easily treatable though natural methods.
Homeopathic methods are more safe and gentle than traditional methods and act
as a holistic health treatment that promotes hair growth from within.
