Herbal Hair Loss Remedy and Herbs for Hair Regrowth

Hair loss has become a problem for both men and women as they get older. Instead of using over the counter products, many opt to try herbal hair loss remedy. Here are some of the must try herbs for hair regrowth.

Medical experts believe that baldness is caused by the hormone DHT. Most products available in the market work by preventing the interaction of DHT with hair follicles. Herbs on the other hand work by balancing hormonal levels so that high levels of DHT can be countered. This is how Stinging Nettle promotes hair growth – by preventing the conversion of free testosterone into DHT.

Stinging Nettle is usually taken as a tea. Once a day would be good and this can be taken long-term. By having the levels of hormones naturally balanced, hair growth can be continuously stimulated and maintained as well. Stinging Nettle can also be massaged directly on the scalp. Nettle can be bought in many forms. As whole root, powder, extracts, capsules. We recommend Mountain Rose Herbs for the highest quality nettle.

The use of Horsetail as an herb for hair regrowth dates back to the Roman times. Aside from promoting hair growth, the herb is also thought to be good in fighting other illnesses. Horsetail is rich in Silica – an element the body needs to stimulate hair growth and to keep the hair strong and healthy. Horsetail can be bought in shaved form as in the picture, or in extract, capsule or powder form.

Another herbal hair loss remedy that people should try is Coconut Oil. Aside from being used as a natural method for tanning, it is also known not only for hair regrowth but also for keeping the hair healthy. Coconut oil works by moisturizing the scalp and helping it get rid of dead skin cells that are clogging the hair follicle that, in turn, are preventing the hair to grow naturally.

It is best to rub a small amount of coconut oil on your scalp for at least 15 minutes each day before rinsing. It is important to rinse it well as you would not want the oil to clog your hair follicles. Coconut oil can also be used as a natural conditioner after washing the hair to make it look healthy and give it a natural shine.
