Eczema is a type of skin inflammation that occurs on the surface of the skin. This skin condition most commonly affects children and even infants. Some of the factors that cause this disorder include hereditary, dietary and environmental factors. People with this skin condition may have red and ugly marks on the exposed areas of the body. They may also feel embarrassed to expose their skin at work place and at home.
There are many treatments available for eczema cure. But most of the treatment works to treat only the symptoms associated with the disorder. Due to this there is a chance of re-occurrence of eczema in a few days. People who buy cheap creams and lotion must be very cautious when using this medication as the creams may contain harsh chemicals that can lead to dangerous side effects.
Without knowing the exact cause of this disorder, it is quite difficult to get rid of eczema completely. The best alternative to eczema cure is to treat the root cause of it at initial stage itself. Among many alternative for eczema cure, there are some natural ways for treating this distressful skin condition.
1. Avoid using allergens like dairy and yeast products as they can cause skin rashes to a greater extent.
2. A lack of vitamin B6 can also cause eczema. Therefore a healthy and balanced diet is essential to get rid of this skin condition.
3. Try to avoid creams and lotions as they may cause irreversible damages to the skin.
4. It is always good to opt for natural treatments for eczema cure to have long lasting results.
Following these treatments regularly will have a very good chance to heal your eczema.

How to grow your hair faster
There's no scientifically proven way to make your hair grow faster.Sorry. But, there is a lot of research on what causes hair loss. And the less hair you lose, the more hair you have growing to your length of choice, right? While some of the causes of hair loss can't be helped, there are several things you can do to let your hair grow to its potential.
Steps
- Be very nice to your hair. Your hair falls out naturally on its own, but you may be pulling it out faster with the things you do. The gentler you are with your hair, the less of it you'll yank out.
- Don't pull your hair into tight ponytails or cornrows. Use butterfly clips and loose braids instead.
- Brush it carefully. If you have wavy or curly hair, you should use a wide tooth comb while your hair is still wet, since brushes can disrupt curl pattern and cause frizz.
- Detangle your hair slowly and carefully. Start by combing out the last few inches, and gradually work up. This won't change how your hair grows, but careful combing can prevent your hair from breaking.
- Brush your hair before you shower in the morning. Throughout the night your hair can knot up. Brushing your hair before you shower reduces tangling in the shower. Also, when using conditioner, try sifting your fingers through your hair. This reduces extensive combing after your shower and also distributes the conditioner evenly.
- Don't pull your hair into tight ponytails or cornrows. Use butterfly clips and loose braids instead.
- Try to avoid tangles by not piling your hair on the top of your head when you lather it in the shower--when you roll it all up into a ball like that, there's more of a chance of tangling. Right before brushing, use your fingers to gently comb through your hair. And when you brush, start at the ends, and hold the strand that you're brushing with your other hand so that if you pull on the hair with a brush, you don't pull on the root (you pull from the grip of your hand instead). Minimize tangles in other situations, such as on windy days, by containing your hair with buns, braids, hats, etc.
- Minimize how much you style your hair. Any kind of styling that involves pulling your hair at the root (blow drying straight, straight iron,curling iron, rollers) will contribute to hair loss. Heat styling also can encourage hair to break.
- Avoid or minimize chemical treatments like dyes, tints, bleaches, straighteners, and permanent waves. These weaken your hair and increase the likelihood of breakage and loss.
- Take a daily multivitamin. Your body needs several building blocks in order to produce a healthy head of hair, and you can easily meet your body's requirement by taking a multivitamin consistently. Keep in mind, however, that it can take several months to notice the results, so don't get discouraged.
- Research suggests that iron deficiency makes hair loss worse. Women with heavy periods are at a higher risk of iron deficiency. However, unless you have an iron deficiency diagnosed by a doctor, you shouldn't take iron supplements. They can upset your stomach and cause severe constipation, and iron overload can be dangerous. Taking a multivitamin and eating iron-rich foods (tofu, lentils, beans, oysters, spinach, prunes, raisins, lean beef) is more than enough.
- If you're a vegetarian, eat foods rich in Vitamin C whenever you eat iron-rich veggies. Vitamin C will help your body absorb the kind of iron that is found in vegetables.
- Avoid purchasing unnecessary supplements such as biotin. Despite the many claims that biotin promotes hair growth, no studies have shown this to be the case.However, hair loss is a sign of severe biotin deficiency; in these cases, the hair loss will be accompanied by a scaly rash around the nose, mouth and genitals. Few people suffer this condition.
- Research suggests that iron deficiency makes hair loss worse. Women with heavy periods are at a higher risk of iron deficiency. However, unless you have an iron deficiency diagnosed by a doctor, you shouldn't take iron supplements. They can upset your stomach and cause severe constipation, and iron overload can be dangerous. Taking a multivitamin and eating iron-rich foods (tofu, lentils, beans, oysters, spinach, prunes, raisins, lean beef) is more than enough.
- Avoid dramatic weight loss. As you shed pounds, you shed hair. The dramatic changes that your body undergoes when it loses weight quickly (the change in nutrients, the stress involved) can cause your hair to thin. Diets low in protein and iron (e.g. very low-fat) and also those high in protein but low in fruits and vegetables (e.g. Atkins) that result in dramatic weight loss can also trigger significant hair loss. Instead, keep a balanced diet, and focus on gradual calorie reduction one or two pounds a week).
- Each hair on your head grows for 2-5 years, slows down for about six weeks, and rests for 3-5 months before falling out so a new hair can grow in its place. Normally, 15% of your hair is at the resting phase, but a sudden change in nutrition can cause some hair follicles in the growing phase to switch into the resting phase prematurely, possibly raising the percentage to more than 30%.

- Relax. Stress is a common cause of reversible hair loss. When you experience physical or emotional turmoil, it can take anywhere from 3 weeks to 4 months for the results to show up in your hair.
- Address any pressing health issues. Hair is a strong indicator of health. Many nutritional deficiencies can cause hair growth to slow, and can cause hair to thin. Hormonal problems such as hypothyroidism and PCOS can also cause thinning. If your hair has gotten seriously thinner or stops growing for more than a few months, you should discuss it with your doctor.
- Try not to wash your hair everyday. The natural oils protect and condition your hair better than anything. Brush hair from root to tip a few minutes before showering so your ends benefit as well.
Tips
- Your hair growth tends to increase during warmer months.
- Some medications might affect hair growth. Check with your doctor.
- Note that changes in hair growth caused by hormonal shifts (pregnancy, postpartum, nursing) can't be helped.
- If you are a swimmer, consider wearing a swimming cap to protect your hair from chlorine damage.
- Those with curly/frizzy hair will have to be patient. The texture of your hair means that length will take a while to show, it doesn't mean your hair grows slower.
- Still not fast enough for you? Consider hair extensions, but exercise caution. There are many drawbacks to the use of hair extensions. You must make sure that whoever is applying your extensions is a professional. If applied poorly, your extensions will both look fake and severely damage your hair. Take your time selecting your extensions as well. There are a variety of materials and extensions available on the market, many of which can and will look horribly fake. The other drawback is that extensions must be periodically replaced every six to eight weeks. If you are willing to invest the time and money, then they may be the right choice for you.
- Try a final rinse with cider vinegar - you'll be amazed with how easy it is to comb after that.
- Be sure to trim your split ends every few weeks to a month. Yes, it will make your hair slightly shorter, but if you trim the split ends, what is left will be healthier and break less. It will also look neater
- Try to avoid hair dyes or heat irons, for these damage hair dramatically and can cause slower growth
- Take a look at how you can regrow your hair naturally.

How to get Rid of Acne
Acne is a broad term covering blemishes, pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads and can be very disturbing. Even though acne is more known to be a problem amongst teenagers, this condition can strike at any age. While there are many preventative measures you can take to Avoid Acne
Warnings
- Stop popping the spots, also known as pimples and zits. This may make the pimple look worse due to inflammation and irritation. Popping a zit can spread infection under the skin and produce even more pimples than before. If you do pop a spot then immediately clean it with soap and water or rubbing alcohol in order to prevent infection. If a pimple erupts in a particularly bothersome place, learn how to target a single pimple. And if you're determined to pop, learn how to pop a pimple safely and properly. If you do and you want to avoid anything resembling Western medicine, one thing to try is put a mixture of honey and ground cinnamon on the spot. Put a band-aid on it also. You may also want to stay away from stress.
- Use a mild soap for sensitive skin but it doesn't matter exactly what type of soap you use. It can be designed for acne-prone skin or not, but you will want to treat your skin gently. Harsh antibacterial soap may actually make your acne worse by irritating skin.
- Remove dead skin cells regularly by exfoliating. Use a gentle scrub with natural defoliants like ground walnut shells, or use an over-the-counter chemical defoliant like salicylic acid or glycolic acid. Adding ground walnut shell to a thick moisturizer like cocoa butter can be effective too. Take caution, because over-exfoliating can actually increase the likelihood of acne by irritating the skin. Pat dry, rather than rubbing, since rubbing can cause irritation to the fresh skin you've just revealed.
- Use a good toner. Spray onto face or wipe on with a cotton ball and wipe off with a clean, dry cotton ball. This gets rid of excess cleanser and tightens pores. Good, inexpensive choices include plain witch hazel for normal to dry skin, lemon juice, or 3% hydrogen peroxide for oily skin. 70% ethyl rubbing alcohol can also be used for severe oiliness, but it can really dry out your skin and irritate it more. Some toners are medicated, and this stage is the best for using a medicated product if you're only going to use one medication.
- Dermabrasion removes the redness. A simple natural home remedy for this is to use the skin inside of an egg shell. Google "dermabrasion with eggs".
- Bacteria in pores is one cause of spots. Reduce the amount of bacteria by using toners containing anti-bacterial agents like alcohol, peroxide and benzalkonium chloride, and by using creams that contain benzoyl peroxide (ask your doctor about benzaclin, with moisturizer if you have dry skin, as it works better than just plain benzoyl because benzoyl takes up to 8 weeks before improvement is seen) which kill bacteria as well as cause the skin to regenerate faster.
- Maintain a routine. Most acne treatments take time to work. It usually takes between two and eight weeks before you see any significant improvement, so you are going to have to be patient. Once you've gotten your acne cleared up, it's important to continue with the treatment that's working so it does not return.
- If all else fails, contact a doctor. Mild antibiotics that are available only by prescription can help reduce acne. Keep in mind though, that the widespread overuse (taking antibiotics when you really don't need them or for something they don't treat) and misuse (not taking medication for the specified amount of time) of antibiotics has led to the development of multiple antibiotic resistant bacteria. That means that the antibiotics won't work for the things they used to (including your acne).
- Keep hair off of your face if at all possible. If you want to keep your bangs, then consider taking showers regularly or keeping your forehead clean with oil-dabbing cloths / clean tissues / etc.
- Get good sleep. Stress increases your skin's oiliness, which, combined with sweat and dirt, can clog pores and cause pimples. (Change your pillowcase frequently.)
- Acne medications may cause your skin to initially break out worse than before because all FDA-approved acne medications (benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, and sulfur) are causing your skin to regenerate faster. This brings existing acne pimples already under your skin (but not visible yet) to the surface, which in turn causes a massive but fortunately temporary break out. Give the medications time to work -- about one to two weeks -- and you will notice a big difference in the quality of your skin.
- See a dermatologist if over the counter remedies do not work. They specialize in skin care and can prescribe you medicines that help you improve it.
- Drink plenty of water. Staying well hydrated can help your condition improve, because the "waste management" control system in your body requires a lot of water to do its job. Without enough water, the body has difficulty removing some waste products efficiently.
- Look for face washes which contain the active ingredient benzoyl peroxide. This is the key ingredient in some of the best face washes. use a 5-10% benzoyl peroxide of mild to moderate acne and 10% for severe.
- Try smashing one tablet of aspirin in a small bowl, then adding lemon juice to the mixture. Aspirin is acetesalicylic acid, chemically related to salicylic acid. Apply to the affected areas overnight. It boosts the healing process while reducing redness.
- Try putting toothpaste (paste, NOT gel) on your face, cover it with a bandage, and keep it on all night. When you wash it off in the morning your acne will look better. The astringent and surfactant nature of the toothpaste will help diminish the appearance of pimples. But the toothpaste has been known to burn sensitive skin of the face, so be careful. If your face does burn, stop acne treatments and work on healing your burn.
- Try using Bentonite Clay, a natural mineral powder which has been known to absorb impurities and help neutralise the skin's oiliness, and can be found online. Mix 2 tablespoons with a dash of cold water and smooth over the face as a thick paste. Once dried gently wipe off with a flannel or sponge.
- Another way to zap pimples is shaving cream. Apply it to your pimple and it will dry it up. It will disappear by morning, but wash your face after waking up.
- If nothing is working for you, drink four tablespoons of apple cider vinegar diluted with water daily. It works very well for some people and is worth a try. Another good solution is aloe Vera gel fresh from the plant, taken orally.
- You can also try taking a zinc tablet everyday.
- Mix some lemon juice and rose water in a small bowl and apply it on your pimples, ONLY YOUR PIMPLES, over night. It will burn a little. When you wake up in the morning, your pimples will reduce.
- Photo therapy or blue-light therapy is an increasingly common form of treating facial or body acne. It uses light that interact with peripheries in skin bacteria to reduce bacteria production and rectify acne. Many dermatologists use this form of treatment in a clinic setting, but it can be costly and time consuming. Health Canada recently approved a new product that has the same therapeutic effect, but it can be administered by the individual.
- Get plenty of sleep! They don't call it "beauty-sleep" for nothing!
- Dab garlic juice on emerging and mature pimples
- Treat acne with benzoyl peroxide that are available in your local stores
- Disguise a pimple with eye-redness relieve eye drops by applying to a Q-tip and hold on pimple for about 10-15 seconds.
- Mix a packet of fast acting yeast with enough tea tree oil to make a paste. Spread over emerging pimple and cover with bandage & leave on overnight because yeast will cause the pimples to rise out of the skin while the tea tree oil attacks it.
- Go to the store and get Cortizone 10.It will help stop acne.
- Soak a cotton ball in warm salt water. Press on top of blemish for 3 minutes to dissolve the top. Then, dab a bit of honey on the affected area to deep clean the pore and draw out bacteria. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
- One thing you should do is change your pillow case(s) every day. That way you won't get any oil or dirt on your face again.
- "Proactiv®" has also proven to be useful in some circumstances, though for some people it doesn't work.
- If you ever pop a whitehead and you have "Proactiv®", put a dab of Revitalizing Toner on the popped zit. This should help clear it.
- See a dermatologist if over the counter remedies do not work. They specialize in skin care and can prescribe you medicines that help you improve it.
- Apply some sudocrem to your spots, This helps them.
- use shampoo! suave professionals biobasics for damaged hair is a good example. its cheap and you have a lot of it, and at the same time it gets rid of all the oil and grease, helping zits fade. however, many shampoos contain lauryl sulfates which can damage your skin.
- Change your pillow case every week. You sleep on it! Most of your germs and bacteria are passed onto your pillow case and back onto your skin.... making acne worse.
- Take Minocycline. Minocycline is an antibiotic which kills bacteria. Minocycline should be taken with caution, however, as it has been show to damage the thyroid gland, liver, and hair. It makes skin sensitive and lowers the body's resistance to pathogens. If you do choose to take minocyline, make sure to get bloodwork every six months at the doctor's office to monitor your health.
- Get good nutrition. These top five nutrients have been shown to have a very positive effect on your skin and in treating acne. These nutrients, zinc, vitamin A, vitamin E, selenium and chromium, can pack a powerful punch in your acne war.
- Zinc - Zinc is the Acne stopper. It works in several ways to both treat acne and prevent it. It helps the body regulate certain hormones which prevents acne, but it also helps with wound healing, tissue regeneration and boosting the body's immune system.Most people in the United States actually have a marginal zinc deficiency, but you can get zinc from many of your favorite foods, such as seeds, nuts, legumes and whole grains.
- Vitamin A - Vitamin A is a fat soluble vitamin that helps you have beautiful, healthy hair and skin. You can find vitamin A from fruits and vegetables. Dark green vegetables and deep yellow vegetables as fruits give you a good dose of vitamin A by providing carotenes. Oatmeal is a good source of vitamin A, as well as cantaloupe, honeydew melon, broccoli, spinach and sweet potato. Liver contains a megadosis: watch out, vitamin A is stored in the body and you can actually get vitamin A poisoning.
- Vitamin E - Vitamin E helps to normalize decreased levels of antioxidant enzymes. This is often prevalent in male acne patients, but vitamin E has proven beneficial to both male and female acne sufferers. Almonds, sunflower seeds, peanut butter, spinach, broccoli and mango are all great sources of vitamin E.Even a snack as simple as ¼ to ½ cups of raw nuts and seeds can help your skin become clearer and healthier.
- Selenium - Selenium works much like vitamin E in that it also helps to normalize decreased levels of antioxidant enzymes. Selenium can be found in foods such as vegetables, meats and bread. Some nuts, such as Brazil nuts and walnuts are also rich in selenium.You can also supplement your diet with selenium, taking 100 to 200 micrograms per day. However, 3 ½ ounces of beef has 35 micrograms of selenium and 3 ounces of tuna has 63. Brazil nuts, though, are the winner with 544 micrograms of selenium per ounce.
- Chromium - Chromium, found in brewer's yeast, has been shown in research studies to heal acne. You can add brewer's yeast to many different foods.Sprinkle a tablespoon over cold cereal or hot oatmeal, mix it into soups and stews or add it into your breakfast smoothie. Be careful, though, if you are not accustomed to brewer's yeast, a large serving of it can cause nausea and diarrhea. Start small, just a teaspoon or tablespoon at a time. This is a great acne buster.
- Zinc - Zinc is the Acne stopper. It works in several ways to both treat acne and prevent it. It helps the body regulate certain hormones which prevents acne, but it also helps with wound healing, tissue regeneration and boosting the body's immune system.Most people in the United States actually have a marginal zinc deficiency, but you can get zinc from many of your favorite foods, such as seeds, nuts, legumes and whole grains.
- AVOID TOUCHING YOUR FACE. Your hands and fingers have a lot of oil on them that can clog your pores. If you touch your face, some of that oil is transferred to your face.
- Apply sour cream to your face. While yogurt is good, it can slip off easily. Buy fresh sour cream and refrigerate. Tie back your hair and make sure not to soil anything. Smear your face, especially pimples, with sour cream using your palms and wash it off after 15 minutes. If you are really busy, then simply apply the sour cream to your pimples and work until fifteen minutes are over, then wash off the pimples with warm water.
- Try going out in the sun. The UV rays dry out your spots and stimulate the vitamin D production in the body.
Tips
- The best solution is to see a dermatologist.
- Women/Girls only: certain contraceptives are known to cure acne.
- Remove the Redness - you can do a simple dermabrasion treatment at home if you have eggs in your house.
- After using any of the above-recommended acne medications (benzoyl peroxide, etc.), be sure to apply a gentle moisturizer over it in case you have sensitive skin.
- Tinted moisturizer works well to cover pimples up, but this DOES NOT mean you have full sun protection.
- Make sure all the products you use are non comedogenic or non acnedemic. This means that it does not clog pores.
- Use any daily wash acne treatment regularly in the morning and night.
- Drink Water.
- Stop the Spread of Acne - Apply acne medication about half an inch around the affected area to help keep the acne from spreading. Acne moves across the face from the nose to the ear, so you need to treat beyond the inflamed area. Most people make the mistake of treating only the pimples and not the outlying areas of skin. This is wrong.
- Wash your pillowcase often and always use clean face towels. Dirty towels and pillowcases can harbor bacteria and germs that can make acne worse.
- Try to prevent over-exposure to sunlight. Over-exposure to sunlight can dry out the skin and cause breakouts. If you are out in the sunlight very often, use a sunscreen, preferably spf 35+.
- Use cold water when washing your face. It reduces inflammation.
- Go to the beach! Swim around in the water, and enjoy yourself. The salt in the water will sting a little, but in the end, your face will be much, much cleaner than before. Plus, you'll have an awesome tan. Note: Fresh water has minimal salt.
- If none of this works for you, don't worry. Acne is more common than you'd ever think and a lot of the time it isn't as bad as you make out. At the end of the day, you can't help it and friends who judge you because of them aren't worth having!
- Forget how many spots you have, confidence will make them disappear in front of other people - all they will see is all this attractive confidence!
- Dont let your hair get in your face while playing sports. try putting in a headband to keep yout hair back and out of your pretty face!
- eat cashews, they are good for your skin.
- drink eight glasses of water a day. its good for you and your skin!
- if you have acne do not wear foundation. it gets clogged in your pores, and if you wear it while you are playing sports you get sweat and make up clogged in your pores and the pimples you will get are huge!
Warnings
- Sunburn increases the risk of skin cancer considerably! You really don't want to look like a spotty tomato, do you?
- Do not use too many different types of acne medication at the same time. It can cause more irritation and increase your acne.ex. dryness,painful to the touch, peeling...
- Consult a doctor if your acne is open or bleeding.
- Consider seeing a doctor as well if the acne has become cystic or highly inflamed. If you do not treat cystic acne there is a high chance of it scarring your face.
- Benzoyl peroxide-based products usually bleach hair and fabrics. Be extremely careful using them around brightly colored or dark colored fabrics, as you can end up with ruined towels and shirts. (You may want to only use white towels and sheets while using these products).
- Make sure you are not allergic to products/ingredients mentioned in this article before using them.
- Be careful with what prescriptions you take! Some oral prescriptions, including Accutane and similar products, can cause irreversible liver damage. Talk to your doctor or dermatologist before taking them.
- At the fitness center is where you can get tons of nasty acne; always wear gloves and use lotion.
- Don't buy multi-step "active" style solutions. If you read the labels, they contain the same active ingredients that other over-the-counter acne medications contain: salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, or sulfur.
- If you are pregnant (and pregnant women often get acne) consult your doctor before using any over-the-counter product.
- Take fish oil daily. bumble bee is a good brand.
- Neutrogena has many acne products, including makeup that still lets your skin breathe while you wear it!

How to treat Eczema
Do not do anything, until you have read The Truth About Eczema
Millions of Americans and people all over the world suffer from eczema. There are almost as many ways to treat eczema as there are people suffering from it. This article includes both natural and synthetic solutions.
Steps
- Keep your skin moist.
- Before bathing, cover yourself in a moisturizer (like aqueous cream or emulsifying ointment such as Aquaphor or Vaseline) and gently wash the moisturizer off (using it instead of soap). This will help prevent the water from over drying the skin. Pat the skin dry, rather than rubbing it (which could irritate it).
- Apply moisturizers after bathing and several times a day if necessary to keep the skin moist. Never use moisturizers that are scented or have lots of chemicals. Oatmeal products are good moisturizers.
- Use non-biological washing powder. Don't scratch if the skin is itchy - rub instead.
- Before bathing, cover yourself in a moisturizer (like aqueous cream or emulsifying ointment such as Aquaphor or Vaseline) and gently wash the moisturizer off (using it instead of soap). This will help prevent the water from over drying the skin. Pat the skin dry, rather than rubbing it (which could irritate it).
- Take an allergy test with a qualified allergist. It should include both kinds of dust mites, all foods, and trees and grass. These are very common allergens, especially dust mites. Then try and stay away from the allergens if you are allergic.
- Check with your doctor for appropriate medicine - topical steroids will calm flare-ups in your eczema. Mild steroids (1% Hydrocortisone) are generally safe if used in small amounts daily.
Tips
- Remember that eczema is not something that will disappear overnight. Some people's eczema goes away, and other people keep their eczema. But that's ok, because its easy to get your eczema under control.
- Check with your doctor and the FDA on which medications to use. Some can be harmful.
- Read the warning labels on your medicines.
- Avoid lotions- use heavy cream instead. Lotion is too watery.
- Check out the Beat Eczema guide
Warnings
- Do not use steroids (either topical or oral) if you do not need them - prolonged use of strong steroids can cause harmful effects, such as skin thinning.
- Never scratch. That breaks the skin open and makes it more vulnerable to bacteria and infection.
- If a topical ointment burns or stings, stop using it! Your "eczema" may be more than eczema, so ask a dermatologist for advice. Better safe than sorry!
- Don't try to cover your eczema with makeup, unless it's very well under control. Even then, use an un-scented natural makeup that won't make your skin flare.
- Never apply moisturizer on irritated skin; this will make it worse. Use moisturizer on dry skin and thick cream on irritated skin.

How to Stop Hair Loss Naturally
Secret Techniques Hollywood Actors Use to Naturally Regrow Lost Hair Within Weeks,Click Here!
Using natural products to help prevent hair loss is cheaper than trying to replace lost hair once it's already gone. Consider the power of these natural ingredients to stave off thinning hair:
Using natural products to help prevent hair loss is cheaper than trying to replace lost hair once it's already gone. Consider the power of these natural ingredients to stave off thinning hair:
Steps
- Saw Palmetto: This herb is sometimes used to treat enlargement of the prostate. This is because Saw Palmetto blocks the production of DHT (a metabolite of testosterone), a contributing factor to enlarging of the prostate. Because DHT production also causes hair loss, Saw Palmetto has been shown in some small studies to be effective for preventing hair loss in some men. It was first used by the American Indians to treat and maintain healthy hair and skin.
- Nettle root: Those little plants with the big sting are good for something after all. Nettle root is another treatment which blocks the production of chemicals which enlarge the prostate.
- They are the same ones that can cause hair loss. Evidence suggests that nettle root may not only stave off baldness, but may actually regenerate hair growth.
- Vitamins: Your mother told you they were good for you, but you may not know they're good for your hair too. Vitamin A is an anti-oxidant which promotes healthy production of sebum in the scalp.
- Vitamin E stimulates circulation. Good blood circulation in the scalp is important in keeping hair follicles productive. The 'B' vitamins contribute to melanin, which gives hair its healthy color and also stimulates blood circulation.
- In addition to these ingredients, which help stop hair loss naturally, massage is also beneficial. Massage stimulates circulation. As already noted, good circulation in the scalp keeps hair follicles active. Experts suggest a few minutes of daily head massage by hand. Circulation through massage may be improved by using a few drops of lavender or bay essential oil in an almond or sesame oil base with massage.
- Try rubbing your scalp with garlic juice, Onion Juice or Ginger Juice(you can either of one out of three, Do not mix any of two or three).( but if your head gets wet you will be able to smell it )
- Try rubbing your hair with rangoli henna.
