Formulating the Dream Home Remedy For Hair Loss

Let's face it in we are getting more accustomed to going to our local superstore or drugstore to find the solution for just about every ailment imaginable. The role of your local drugstore continues to expand with some now having medical doctors in store to both diagnose and treat common ailments such as the cold and flu. So in many ways the days of having to conjure up a potion either to heal or restore health are going the way of the horse and buggy. 

This is also the case when trying to home remedy hair loss. Many of the unique eclectic balding and regrowth recipes have been lost to posterity but what we now have is a better understanding of hair loss itself which really does open the door to formulating our own home remedy for hair loss. Let's explore a few ingredients that might be considered for a new fangled home remedy for hair loss as well as our not so original two step approach involving both oral and topical ingredients.

Nettle root extract or saw palmetto: Nettle can be used for either men or women while saw palmetto should be reserved for men. These two herbs block the conversion of testosterone into much more powerful balding hormone DHT. DHT attacks the hair follicle rendering it incapable of producing new growth. Some follicles actually die as well. Our premise here is you can't grow hair very well until you stop it from falling out. Saw palmetto has been studied endlessly and is an approved FDA ingredient for the treatment of balding and thinning scalp hair. Nettle on the other hand has not been studied as extensively but many European naturopaths believe its DHT blocking abilities to be superior to saw palmetto. Be sure to check labels and warnings before implementing either of these herbs for hair loss. Also, follow labeled dosage instructions carefully. 

Now that we have taken an important step to block harmful DHT it is time to apply a topical solution that will nourish heal and reinvigorate the scalp. 

Our home remedy hair loss concoction must be made with ingredients that are easily accessible. It would be unrealistic to expect you round up a bushel of Indian goose berries and fenugreek seeds. So our remedy will consist of everyday ingredient that you can pick up at the local grocery store. 
Our home remedy hair loss formula will be based in mineral oil. So pour a liberal amount of mineral oil in into a container then add a few drops of almond oil, a dash of coconut oil, one teaspoon of honey, one teaspoon of olive oil, one egg yolk along with one table spoon of aloe vera gel. If you have a blender you might consider adding half an avocado to the mix as well. Massage vigorously into the scalp for 5 to 7 minutes then let sit for an additional 15 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Repeat every other day for 2 months. 

That's it; we have now formulated a dream home remedy for balding and thinning scalp hair using everyday ingredients. I think you might be surprised at the results.

What Next? DHT driven balding and thinning is progressive and the hair loss incurred will not reverse itself without some form of intervention. Whether you choose to go with the natural home remedy hair loss formula or opt for an easier prepackaged hair regrowth product specifically designed to address DHT and reverse hair loss is a personal choice. But the important thing is to take action before severe balding has begun to take hold of your hair and scalp.
