Home Medications and Treatments for Hair Loss

It is quite natural to lose about fifty to hundred a day. More than this amount of hair loss could result from any one of a number of factors and may be cause for concern. Hair grows from follicles and each follicle grows a single hair. The hair follows a typical cycle that comprises a lengthy growth period and then a short rest period, before shedding. At any time, about 10 percent of the hair on the scalp is resting, the remaining 90% is growing.

Symptoms of Hair Loss

In women a thinning of the hair over the scalp and the crown of the head and for men in a receding hair line or baldness on the top of the head is a sign of excessive hair loss.

Causes of Hair Loss

The most important cause of loss of hair is inadequate nutrition. Even a partial lack of almost any nutrient may cause hair to fall. Persons lacking in vitamin B6 lose their hair and those deficient in folic acid often become completely bald. But the hair grows normally after the liberal intake of these vitamins.

Other important causes of loss of hair are stress such as worry, anxiety, and sudden shock; general debility caused by severe or long standing illnesses like typhoid, syphilis,, chronic cold, influenza, and anaemia; an unclean condition of the scalp which weakens the hair roots by blocking the pores with the collected dirt; and heredity.

Diet for  Hair Loss:

1. An overall healthy diet – Use fresh foods as close to the natural state as possible. Avoid processed and pre-packaged food. Eat daily servings of leafy green vegetables, whole grains, fruit, and proteins with a minimum of animal fat. As much as possible, avoid sugar foods such as candy, cake, cookies, etc. and refined carbohydrates such as white flour products.

2. Eliminate or at least greatly reduce consumption of coffee and alcohol. Caffeine will constrict the blood vessels and decrease nourishment to the hair.

3. Constipation or irregular bowel movements can aggravate the problem. Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day and add fiber to your diet. If you need more information, reefer to the article on constipation.
