Herbs Can Heal Your Hair

Many people who experience hair loss go around looking for commercial

hair rejuvenator products. Little do they know that many of these

commercial formulations are actually based on herbs that you can find

in your local grocery store or supermarket. If you know how to use such

herbs, you can save a lot of money by concocting hair remedies yourself

in your own kitchen, or selecting hair loss products that contain these

vital herbs.

Herbs are often taken in combination with one another. But to prevent

further hair loss, these herbs have to work in three ways: a)

neutralize toxins and eliminate them from your body; b) enhance

digestion and circulation to permit proper absorption of key nutrients

that will support the growth of hair follicles; c) supply natural

vitamins and minerals (particularly micronutrients) that will help your

hair grow and reduce or stop hair loss altogether.

Burdock is first on our list of herbs good for hair growth. Herbal

medicine practitioners rely on burdock to eliminate substances from our

body which may lead to hair loss or reduce hair growth. Burdock has

been known for its efficacy when used on skin conditions such as scaly

skin disorders, boils and eczema.

The spice cayenne is also another hair loss remedy that works best when

used in combination with other herbal hair loss remedies. Cayenne

contains a lot of vitamin A, C, iron and sulphur, as well as phosphorus,

magnesium, potassium, Vitamin G and B-complex vitamins. Cayenne is

generally believed to promote good circulation.

If you want to absorb many trace nutrients that are usually washed away

from the topsoil into the ocean, you may want to consume kelp. Kelp is

an aquatic plant that is usually employed to fertilize crops when it is

spread as mulch. As a hair loss remedy, kelp is used to nourish existing

hair follicles so that the resulting hair becomes stronger and

healthier.

In Europe, the nettle is a plant with a strong following. Because it

contains many nutrients that can help nourish hair (nutrients such as

iron, chlorophyll, silicon, potassium, protein, calcium, sulfur,

sodium, copper, manganese, chromium, zinc, and vitamins A, C, D, E, F),

it is believed that nettle may help stop or reduce hair loss.

Oat straw is also a popular herbal remedy for hair loss because it

contains certain substances that have a relaxing and soothing effect on

the scalp. Some of these substances are avenine, gramine, and silica.

It also has zinc, manganese, and iron. Oat straw is believed to help a

lot when skin is inflamed, itchy and flaky – this is why it is used in

scalp preparations.

Rosemary is a traditional folk remedy that is believed to foster the

growth of hair follicles and reducing the incidence of premature

baldness. Aside from improving circulation to the scalp, rosemary

contains many vital nutrients that are required for proper hair growth,

such as zinc, sodium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, calcium,

and vitamins A and C.

Basically, the key to having a healthy crop of hair is to maintain good

overall health. So take care of yourself and healthier hair and scalp

will follow.
