Home Remedies for Baldness


By naturalremedies at 2009-02-16 06:06:50
Abnormal hair loss leads to baldness. A human scalp has about 90,000 to 150,000 hairs. Hairs usually grow from the roots. There roots are called as follicles by professionals. Each follicle has been touched with the blood vessels. These blood vessels have to nourish the hairs to grow well. The hair growth cycle may differ from person from person.

Baldness is a condition in which loss of hair occurs either partially or completely over the head. In medical terms it is referred as "Alopecia". Men are more prone to this problem compared to women. Baldness mainly occurs in mid-age. There are various types of baldness among which "Androgenic Alopecia" (Male-pattern baldness) is the most common one.

Baldness is a terrible occurrence that happens to many men and women around the world. The loss of hair doesn't just affect the outward physical appearance. Baldness has a great effect on a person's confidence. When hair loss occurs, it is natural to seek medical assistance and treatment for it.

Causes of Baldness:

Baldness is not caused by a disease but is related to aging, heredity, and testosterone. Genetic predisposition to lose hair is the main cause of most of partial or complete baldness. Other possible causes of baldness include hormonal changes brought about by thyroid diseases, serious illnesses, and medications such as chemotherapy, as well as excessive shampooing and blow-drying, emotional or physical stress, bald patches that develop on the scalp, and ringworm disease of the scalp. The body's failure to produce new hair is the main cause of genetic baldness.

Treatment for Baldness:

1] Start taking 1500 mg of Saw Palmetto daily. Dihydrotestosterone, also called DHT, is the hormone responsible for male pattern baldness.

2] Wash your hair with Nizoral shampoo at least 3 times a week. Nizoral contains Ketoconazole which works to fight dandruff and psoriasis but it also washes DHT out of the hair follicles.

3] Keep your hair fed with the proper nutrients. Biotin is a B-vitamin that's totally necessary for your hair follicles to produce healthy, growing hair. Take this daily as part of your hair loss treatment.

4] Baldness can be prevented by avoiding over-exposure to sun, avoiding close contact of Hair Dryers to the Hair follicles, avoiding usage of hair gels or creams deeper into the follicles.

5] After swimming, it is advisable to wash your hair with a shampoo to remove chlorine as it may damage the hair scalp. Eating nutritional diets will also help in preventing it.

6] Medications such as finasteride (not approved for women), minoxidil, Cortisone (Injection), Anthralin (cream or ointment) are very effective in treating Hair Loss or Baldness. Usage of these medications may have side-effects.

7] On top of these medications, baldness can also be treated by surgery on scalp and Hair Transplantation. Laser therapy and hair transplantation are also found to be effective in treating baldness in the recent times.

8] Ginkgo biloba is a little-known herb that works in treating male hair loss by improving blood circulation in the body.
