Herbal Remedies
Several herbal remedies make the claim of restoring hair growth and a number of herbal lotions as well as several nutritional supplements claim to be specifically formulated to deal with hair loss. A person with a preference for alternative treatments rather than chemically based treatments may benefit from a visit to a herbalist to discuss herbal hair loss remedies.
It has been suggested that the following herbal remedies may be of assistance in hair loss:
- ginko biloba - green tea - polygonum multiflorum, a traditional Chinese herb - pygeum - aloe vera - saw palmetto (serenoa repens) - stinging nettle - resveratrol, a natural antioxidant found in grape skins
Some of these are taken in tablet form and some are made into preparations that you massage into your scalp. Some, for example stinging nettle, can cause an allergic reaction, so all herbal preparations should be used with care.
