Grow Your Hair Back the Natural Way

Whether you take an herbal supplement or purchase a hair regrowth product such as a shampoo containing all-natural DHT blockers, there are more preferable natural methods to promote the natural regrowth of lost hair. Millions of men and women in the United States suffer from receding hairlines, male pattern baldness, thinning hair, and hereditary conditions that cause significant hair loss.

While most genetic hair loss problems are unavoidable, there are other hair and scalp problems concerning stress, poor nutrition, vitamin deficiencies, and hormonal imbalances. Fortunately, they can be treated with natural hair regrowth products. There are certain plants and herbs known to encourage hair regrowth as well as stop the damaging effects of hair loss and thinning hair patterns. Below you will find a few natural ingredients that are commonly found in some of the most effective hair loss treatment options:

Saw Palmetto

One of the most popular herbal DHT inhibitors is called saw palmetto which is usually less inexpensive than most of the other commercial remedies on the market. This natural ingredient is often favored in hair loss products because it carries fewer side effects than other commonly used substances such as finasteride and dutasteride. A benefit to relying on saw palmetto is that the herb doesn’t interfere with the cellular activities when it works to prevent the conversion of testosterone into DHT.

Thyme, Rosemary, Lavender, and Cedarwood

One study that involved seven months of treatment claims that aromatherapy shows promise in promoting natural hair regrowth. With a safe and effective method of treating temporary hair loss, test subjects had the essential oils of thyme, rosemary, lavender, and cedarwood rubbed into their scalps on a daily basis.

In the end, 44 percent of the patients showed notable improvement in their hair growth. This is especially good news to those who wish to avoid steroid treatments as a way to combat their hair loss.

Arnica

The flowers of arnica are known to stimulate blood circulation and are known to create creams and ointments known to combat hair loss (alopecia). When used as a well-diluted tincture, arnica also becomes a suitable hair rinse.

Southernwood

The aerial parts of southernwood are known as a traditional remedy that stimulates hair growth despite a lack of scientific proof backing the claims. While some people take 10 to 20 drops of tincture up to three times per day, others create an infusion that is used as a hair rinse. When combined with stinging nettle, sage, and rosemary, a more effective product is created.
