Ways To Reverse Hair Loss

Often times when hair loss is an issue the consensus feels that the problem cannot be reversed. No one definitely thinks it can be reversed "and" get better. That is the case though. If you can pinpoint the nutritional deficiency that is responsible for your hair loss, you can reverse it if you do what you are suppose to.

If your iron stores are low within your body it can affect your hair. The reason for this is due to the fact that iron carries oxygen to the hair follicles. Be careful though. Too much iron can be toxic.

Resveratrol feeds hair follicle and stops inflammation from around hair follicles. If hair follicles get inflamed that can lead to hair loss. Resveratrol scavenges the free radicals thought to contribute to this damage. It then energizes the mitochondria that powers cells in and around the hair follicles, which in turn makes each strand a lot thicker in diameter and decrease hair loss in general.

Resveratrol is also instrumental in having a healthy heart. It also helps with cancer, Alzheimer's, and diabetes.

When Halloween rolls around, don't just think pumpkins are for carving because those seeds serve a better purpose. Pumpkin oil regrows your hair! Pumpkin seed oil has been shown to help regrow hair by blocking an enzyme that can attribute to shedding. So not only are they a delicious snack but they increase hair growth by a whopping 40% within 24 weeks. The recommended daily dose is 400mg.

If for some reason you aren't able to take pumpkin oil there is an alternative. You can try saw palmetto, which does about the same thing. Recommended daily doses for that is around 320mg daily.

Turmeric has been used for its various benefits. It is high in antioxidants, just as resveratrol is. It is also an anti-inflammatory compound. Turmeric also has the ability to increase brain function. It does this by increasing the brain hormone BDNF. BDNF is responsible for an increase in the growth of new neurons and fights various degenerative processes in the brain, such as depression and Alzheimer's disease.

Turmeric is believed to decrease the expression of proteins that can contribute to the inflammation that leads to hair loss. With all the benefits of Turmeric you can't beat using it for hair loss because you'll be benefiting in more ways than one.

When you think of hair you instantly think of biotin. Biotin is a part of the complex B vitamin family. It is has many benefits and uses.

• strengthen hair and nails
• improves the health of skin
• aids in weight loss
• lowers cholesterol
• regulates blood sugar

Those reasons alone are enough to add a source of biotin to your regimen. There is strong evidence to support that not having enough biotin in your system will contribute to hair loss. As a result of this, many hair care companies are including biotin in their products. Biotin, however, is better taken orally. It helps to thicken nails and prevents breakage in your lovely locks.

This power packed nutrient produces the protein keratin, increases hair elasticity and protects those strands from becoming dry and brittle. We all know what happens when your hair becomes dry and brittle. It breaks off.

Biotin is very effective when combined with ingredients such as marine proteins and vitamins C and B-2. When women took the hair regrowth supplement Viviscal Professional Strength their hair growth shot up. Viviscal is a supplement that contains all four nourishing ingredients, which you take twice daily.

Onions are a powerful food. You can tell by the sheer fact that if someone talks who has just eaten one you instantly know! That is not the only way that onions are powerful. Onions, in juice form or in whole form, has been shown to significantly increase hair growth and reverse the greying of your hair.

The only downside to those two benefits is that it stinks! I have found another way around that. If you look in Mederma, the ingredients read (in order) water, PEG-4, Allium Cepa (onion) bulb extract, and a few other ingredients. The most important one is the onion bulb extract. Mederma smells a lot better than an onion, yet it has the extract in there. This is why Mederma helps with reducing the appearance of scars and blemishes on your skin. You can try using this on your hair, but I would advise doing spot treatments only.

Tea tree oil helps with hair loss and smells quite a bit better. Tea tree oil, however, is very powerful and should never be used in its pure form. You can put a few drops in your shampoo and conditioner. You can also combine about 10 drops of tea tree oil with another bland oil like almond oil or coconut oil.

By using the tea tree oil you are ensuring that your hair will grow healthy by eliminating dead skin cells and residue from hair styling products. While tea tree oil is not the most powerful treatment for hair loss it definitely has its place in the ranks. You can adjust the amount of tea tree oil in your solutions if you have a severely bad case of dandruff.

Ashwagandha is an herb that is referred to as "Indian Ginseng", which has been used since ancient times. It has been used for stress, fatigue, lack of energy, and difficulty concentrating. Just a few benefits of taking this supplement are:

• reduce brain-cell degeneration
• stabilizes blood sugar
• improves learning, memory, and reflexes
• alleviates anxiety and depression without causing lethargy
• protects your immune system
• combats the effects of stress

There are more even after that. It even enhances sexual potency for both women and men. It helps to bring up your energy levels naturally, as well as rejuvenate.

Rhodiola rosea is nature's antidepressant, which is also known as Golden Root or Arctic Root. This herb is packed with fat burning, energy enhancing, and brain boosting power! Rhodiola, just like Ashwagandha, is labeled as an adaptogen because it helps the body to adapt to and also resist physical, environment, and chemical stress. You can also take the supplement to help you recover sooner after workouts or for overall athletic performance. Depression is also naturally treated with these two herbs.

Lastly, anything that is good for your immune system or helps to fight inflammation will play a key role in helping your hair and hair growth to flourish. Maintaining a healthy body and a sense of well-being in general in essential in all areas of life.
