Homeopathic Remedies for Hair Loss

Homeopathic remedies for hair loss depend a great deal on your particular symptoms and reason for hair loss. Hair loss can occur because of illness, chemicals used to perm and color the hair, menopause, hereditary and stress.

Arsenicum Album

Arsenicum album and nitric acid are prescribed when the hair loss is due to depression, anxiety and irritability.

Graphites and Thuja

The homeopathic remedies graphites and thuja are prescribed when hair loss is accompanied by constipation or a slow-moving system.

Silicea

Silicea is silica potentized, making it a beneficial homeopathic remedy for not only hair loss, but also improving the skin and nails. Pontentization is simply a process in which the original substance is charged to make it active rather than inert.

Phosphorus

Phosphorus is prescribed for hair loss when the hair is falling in large clumps and dandruff is present. Phosphorus works well on the kidneys, for respiratory infections and for those highly sensitive to light, sound odors and touch.

Topical Remedies

Arctium lappa, ceanothus, malva sylvestis and tropaeolum purchased in tincture form can be mixed with carrier oils such as light jojoba oil, coconut oil or other carrier oils. Using a gentle massaging action apply to the scalp. If the oil is light, you may wish to leave the treatment in rather than shampooing.
