Natural Treatments for Hair Loss
Hair loss can be an embarrassing problem for both men and women. While there are a variety of treatment options for hair loss such as topically and orally administered medications, some people desire a more natural approach. If you're looking for a natural remedy for hair loss, you have several options.
Before trying any of them, however, you should understand why you are losing hair. Your hair loss may be genetic, or it may be caused by an underlying medical problem.

Sometimes you can treat hair loss simply by treating the medical issue that's causing it. For genetic hair loss, stress-induced hair loss, or hair loss due to harsh chemicals or styling, there are many natural remedies that you can try.
Massaging the scalp with stimulating essential oils can sometimes encourage and accelerate growth. Use a carrier oil like jojoba as the base, then add 10-15 drops of several different oils such as cedarwood, lavender, rosemary, thyme and spearmint.
The best time to perform an essential oil scalp massage is before or during a shower. That way, you can shampoo afterwards to prevent unsightly oiliness. You'll still get the benefits of the massage, but you won't have to walk around looking greasy.
You may even find that the oils enhance the results of your normal shampoo and conditioner routine and make your hair more manageable.
Another natural way to treat certain types of hair loss is with nutrition and supplementation. Your diet should contain a good balance of fruits, vegetables, lowfat dairy, lean protein and healthy fats such as olive and fish oils.
If you don't like fish, try supplementing your diet with a fish oil capsule to get the benefits of Omega 3 and 6 oils. Another supplement to try is Biotin, which is a B Vitamin thought to promote healthy skin, hair and nails.
Before trying any remedies for hair loss, see your doctor. Not only is it important to rule out any underlying medical conditions, it is important to make sure any natural treatments you're considering will not interact with prescription or over the counter medications you're taking.
