Today I will tell you about an alternative way to treat hair loss. There are many different products on the market that should do the job but yet there are so many other natural ways that do the same. Who wants to use chemicals while you can make your own remedy safely at home. Some might work for you and some might not but that is up to you to try it and decide. So hair loss what is it really and why do we suffer from it?! Hair loss, also known as baldness refers to excessive hair loss from scalp and can be the result of heredity, certain medications or an underlying medical condition. It is normal to shed some hair each day as part of a cycle of growing new hairs and loosing some. However , some people may experience excessive hair loss which might cause baldness. Hair loss of this type can affect men, women and children. So now that we know what it is, we need to know how to deal with it. For that I added a few natural remedies you can try:

 1 . Yemeni med: Soak fenugreek (Hilba) in deep pot of water throughout the night. Massage the liquid into the scalp and wrap with a cloth for 3 hours. Repeat everyday for 1 month.
 2 . Massage the scalp with uncooked egg yolk, leave for 1 hour and wash.
 3. Smear Red Henna on the scalp and wait for 1 hour, then wash, Repeat for 10-14 days. Be ware- your hair will turn red from the henna!
 4. Smear castor oil on the scalp and the hair roots but not on the hair, wrap the hair with a newspaper, tie with a cloth and leave overnight, wash in the morning. Repeat every 7-10 days (results will come after 6-7 treatments).
 5. Boil 1 cup of water, add 1 teaspoon of mustard seeds, cook for 5 minutes, cool and drink.
 6. Blanch scented geranium leaves in boiling water, strain, cool and use to wash the hair.
 7. Rub olive oil into the scalp to reduce hair loss.
 8. Boil rosemary leaves in water, strain and save the liquid in a glass bottle. Use to wash the hair every day. You can also put the rosemary water in a sprayer and spray the hair every morning. There are many more home remedies for hair loss at the GrannyMed website.

Which is the best product?
Not necessarily the best advertised or the best known. The best product for hair regrowth will depend on you, the cause of your thinning hair, what you decide to do about it and it may also depend upon your age and sex.

Causes vary from a temporary problem caused by taking a particular drug or coming off the birth control pill or may be the end of pregnancy. Other associated conditions can be more serious, such as diabetes, an auto immune condition or hypothyroidism. Most people though have androgenetic alopecia which is a fancy way of saying that your baldness, whether male or female is inherited. So you see the matter is a complex one and if you are at all unsure of the cause of your hair loss you should consult your general practitioner in the first instance. He may be able to reassure you, prescribe treatment or refer you to a specialist dermatologist or endocrinologist depending upon the cause.

Treatments vary even more than causes. You may just decide to disguise your loss with a spray that thickens the hair you have or colours the scalp so that it is less obvious. You may go for a toupee or wig. Then there are herbal treatments available such as saw palmetto, a food supplement which seems to work for many people. There are of course surgical answers with hair transplants, but this choice needs careful consideration both because of the expense involved and because of the risk (relatively small) of infection and scarring. Then there are drugs such as Minoxidil (approved by the F. D. A. ) which is available under several different names such as Rogaine and Regaine and which comes in male and female versions and in different strengths. Some 26% of younger men and 20% of younger women reported moderate regrowth after 4 months, with the peak of growth after a year. It seems that it works best on top of the scalp rather than with loss at the temples.

Like many other drug treatments if you stop taking it you will soon be back to square one.

 Some people find that it makes their scalp itch and overdosage may result in more serious conditions developing such as very low blood pressure and chest pain.

 Finesteride is another well publicized treatment, in this case only being considered safe for men. Again it is available under several names. It takes about 3 months before there is any noticeable effect. Its side effects need to be looked into as some of these may be long lasting, even if you stop taking the drug. So you will realise that there are a lot of factors to be balanced before you find the best best product for hair regrowth for you.

Which ever treatment you choose, patience is a virtue that you will need as hair only grows at best about ½ inch per month. For more information about the best products for hair regrowth please visit http: //www. alpha7haircare. com/articles/hair_loss_product_review. htm
