A 2002 study showed that a natural hair loss remedy containing saw palmetto extract was successful with 60% of male volunteers. Other studies have demonstrated the same results. Also, the botanical extract supports prostate health and could prevent the enlargement of the prostate that is commonly found during the aging process.
Female alopecia, the medical term for reduced hair-growth, needs to be looked at differently. In most men, the problem is the changing of the hormone testosterone into a different androgen called Dihydrotestosterone, or DHT. DHT reduces the size of the follicles, and leads to them becoming dormant and eventually destroys their function.
Saw palmetto binds with the enzyme (5-alpha-reductase) that converts testosterone to DHT, stopping the conversion process. Some prescription drugs stop DHT from binding with the follicles, but they cause side effects that are certainly unwanted. The prescription drug ‘Propecia’ blocks 5-alpha-reductase, but can also cause undesired side effects, too. You might say that saw palmetto is ‘milder’.
.
Whilst it can be accepted that female alopecia is caused by sensitivity to DHT, the drugs and botanicals that work for men don’t work for them. A woman requires a natural hair loss remedy of her own. To date, horsetail silica seems to be the answer.
The botanical has been recommended for female alopecia for hundreds of years. Only in recent years have scientists learned that horsetail silica contains proteins, amino acids and pro-amino acids, necessary for the human body to grow hairs. That’s the likely reason that the botanical works. Few clinical trials have been conducted using horsetail silica, but in those that have been conducted, positive results were seen.
Many health experts feel that female alopecia is caused by an underlying nutritional deficiency. Not receiving enough protein is one of the likely problems.
Magnesium is another natural hair loss remedy for women. Magnesium is an essential mineral and magnesium deficiencies are more common than you might think. Even if a woman gets sufficient protein in her diet, she still needs magnesium in order for her body to absorb it. If magnesium is not present in sufficient quantities, the protein simply goes to waste.
If you suffer from nails that are weak or slow to grow, if cuts and scrapes on your skin are slow to heal, try to include extra protein-rich foods in your daily intake – and make sure that you get sufficient magnesium. If you would like to see results, as soon as possible, combine that natural hair loss remedy with the use of a topically applied solution which contains Minoxidil.
Minoxidil is approved by the US FDA and other governmental agencies as a treatment for alopecia. It takes a while to become effective, but when it is also combined with nutritional support, you will see the results that you are looking to achieve in a reasonable amount of time.
Beware of any solution that promises immediate results. There are no miracle cures. It takes time for the dormant follicles to start producing new hairs. It takes a month for healthy hairs to grow just a half inch. So, even an effective natural hair loss remedy will take time to work. You just need to have a little patience.
