Herbal Hair Loss Solutions

Hair loss is a condition affecting millions of people--particularly men--the world over. A number of hair loss solutions includes hairpieces, surgical hair transplants and commercial preparations. There are also a number of herbal hair loss solutions that may be used to treat this condition.

Aromatherapy

Add 5 drops of bay essential oil and 5 drops of lavender essential oil to 4 ounces of almond oil. Mix thoroughly. Massage this solution into the scalp. Wrap a warm, wet towel around the head. Remove the towel and shampoo as usual after 10 to 15 minutes.

Herbs

Place one teaspoon each of sage, rosemary, nettle, and burdock into a pitcher. Add a quart of water. Cover and let steep for 15 to 20 minutes. Strain and rinse your hair with the resulting infusion. Repeat daily.

Coconut

Mash 5 garlic cloves and crush 5 peppercorns. Place in a pan. Add 1 cup of coconut oil. Warm this to a temperature that is comfortable for your skin. Strain the coconut oil and massage into the scalp. Repeat once a day.

Massage

Stimulate hair growth by massaging your scalp with the tips of your fingers for 2 to 3 minutes a day. This enhances blood circulation to the hair follicles, unclogs blocked oil glands and promotes healthy hair growth. A special scalp massaging hairbrush may be used for the same purpose.

Ayurveda

Use the traditional ayurvedic remedy of massaging jojoba oil, brahmi oil or Bhringaraj oil to the scalp on a daily basis to stimulate hair growth. These oils are available form health stores and Indian grocery stores.
