Hair
Loss Solution: Try Aromatherapy
by: Kathlene Capelle
Our
ancestors did not have the benefit of today’s scientifically researched drugs,
but they often found natural
remedies that worked just as well. Herbal remedies have been used for centuries
to treat everything from premenstrual syndrome to high blood pressure. Men experiencing
the first signs of baldness often
looked to natural cures as well, and some of the herbal remedies have surprising
results.
A
group of dermatologists in Scotland tested an herbal remedy with great success,
helping over 40% of their patients with a mixture of essential oils containing
cedarwood, lavender, rosemary and thyme. In this double blind study, the group
using the essential oils showed improvement in 40 percent of the subjects, while
only 15% of the control group noted an improvement.
So, would you be interested in trying out aromatherapy as a hair loss solution? If you’d like to experiment with this, mix three drops each of lavender and rosemary oil with two drops each of cedarwood and thyme oils. Add this mixture to 4 teaspoons of grapeseed oil and one-quarter teaspoon of jojoba oil. Rub the mixture into your scalp for two minutes nightly, then use a warm towel to wrap your head.
If you’re not experiencing baldness yet, but your hair doesn’t look healthy, you may want to try a mixture of lavender and bay essential oils to stimulate blood flow to the scalp and help circulation to the area. About six drops of each oil should be added to ½ cup of a good carrier oil, like almond or sesame oil. Warm the mixture slightly and rub into the scalp. After letting the mixture penetrate the scalp for 20 minutes, shampoo with your normal shampoo. For additional benefit, you may want to add up to 4 drops of bay oil to your normal shampoo.
Of course, you won’t see a whole new head of hair after just one or two treatments. However, repeated use will most likely provide you with better looking, fuller hair. You’ll also experience the positive benefits of aromatherapy and scalp massage as well, feeling more relaxed and ready to face the day. Aromatherapy may just be the hair loss solution that you are looking for!
