What are the home remedies for hair loss that you can try at home?  

One of the most effective conventional approaches to male pattern hair loss is the drug minoxidil.

Interest in minoxidil began with the observation that the oral form of this drug, which dilates blood vessels and is taken for high blood pressure, caused hair regrowth and partially reversed baldness in some men. For baldness, a topical form of minoxidil (Regaine or Rogaine) is applied to areas of hair loss. However, less than 10% of men take it to achieve satisfactory results.

Another conventional drug for baldness is the anti-androgenic drug finasteride. It inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha reductase that transforms testosterone into dihydrotestosterone. This seems to stimulate the growth of thicker, stronger, and darker hair.

Both minoxidil and finasteride have side effects.

Diet

A diet that contains whole foods, particularly the outer skin of plants such as potatoes, cucumbers, green and red peppers, and sprouts can give strength to hair because they are rich in mineral silica. Foods that are high in iron, such as lean meats, are important for people with a known iron deficiency.

Saw palmetto

Saw palmetto oil is an accepted treatment for benign prostate hyperplasia in men. It appears to interact with various sex hormones, including dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is produced from testosterone by the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase.

Like most enzymes, it can be inhibited. There has been great medical interest in substances that have the potential for inhibiting 5-alpha-reductase, and thereby preventing or treating benign prostate hyperplasia.

Theoretically, saw palmetto could have also been used to block DHT and prevent hair loss. Saw palmetto is believed to have a similar mechanism of action to the anti-androgenic drug finasteride (Propecia), which has been used in low doses for hair loss.

Another conventional drug for baldness is the anti-androgenic drug oral finasteride.

Folic acid

While folic acid is an integral part of the nutrients your body needs to make new cells, this nutrient may not treat hair growth alone. Instead, focus on making sure you get enough folic acid for your overall health. In turn, your hair will benefit too.

Biotin

Biotin supplements are only likely to prevent hair loss and promote hair growth in people with a biotin deficiency.

Vitamin B5

Vitamin B5, also known as calcium pantothenic acid is a vital vitamin for healthy hair. It helps strengthen and nourish hair follicles to promote healthy hair growth and prevent hair loss.

Para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA)

PABA is important for healthy hair and skin, and taking it in supplement form may prevent hair loss by protecting hair follicles. Interestingly, people who have gone gray may experience a return of their natural hair color by taking PABA, but only if they are deficient in B vitamins.

Silica

Silica doesn’t promote hair growth, but it does strengthen hair and prevent thinning. It does this by delivering essential nutrients to your hair follicles. As a bonus, it can also benefit your skin and nails. Be sure to speak with your doctor before trying silica for hair loss.

Aromatherapy

The results of one research study suggest that the essential oils of thyme, rosemary, lavender, and cedarwood mixed with oil and applied to the areas of hair loss may stimulate hair growth. This double-blind, placebo-controlled study enrolled 84 people who massaged either these essential oils or a non-treatment oil into their scalps each night for seven months. Results showed that 44% of people in the treatment group had new hair growth compared to only 15% in the control group.

Hair Oil Recipe

Ingredients and where to buy them:

Directions:

Mix the ingredients together. Cover your pillow with an old towel. Apply several drops of the mixture to areas of hair loss each night, massaging gently into the scalp for 3-5 minutes. Store the oil tightly covered. Do not take internally or near the eye area.

Ayurveda

Bhringaraj oil or Brahmi oil is applied to the scalp regularly to stimulate hair growth. The Ayurvedic herbs Ashwagandha and Amla are also reported to stimulate hair growth.

Traditional Chinese Medicine

In traditional Chinese medicine, hair loss is linked to kidney deficiency syndrome. Other symptoms of kidney deficiency are weakness, fatigue, and low back weakness. Kidney energy is believed to naturally decline with age, but people with early or accelerated hair loss may have particularly weak kidney energy.  TCM practitioners believe that the main cause of hair loss is blood deficiency. “Hair will grow well if there is sufficient blood in the body, and blood in the body is governed by the spleen and the liver.

Take herbs that nourish the blood, including

  • Wolfberries
  • Red dates
  • Dried longan
  • Angelica Sinensis
  • Rehmannia glutinosa

To prevent premature greying, eat foods that nourish the kidneys:

  • Black bean
  • Black sesame
  • Mulberry
  • Blackberry

Chinese herbs which are good for the kidneys include:

  • Wolfberries
  • Walnut
  • Mulberry
  • Fructus Ligustri Lucidi
  • Eclipta prostrate
  • Polygonum multiflorum
