Top Hair Loss Herbs by Sarah Rowe

When it comes to treating hair loss no longer do we need to rely on the kinds of treatments that a doctor is likely to prescribe or which can be brought over the counter at your local drug store. Instead, more and more people who suffer from hair loss are looking at natural treatments. Below we offer some information regarding various hair loss herbs, which can help in treating this condition.

Please be aware that these are not medications and should be treated as such. With these herbs there are no guarantee's on if or how well they will work for you even if you read about them working for someone else. The plus side is you should not have to worry very much about side effects from using them.

All of these herbs, that we suggest, will work in a variety of different ways. Here we will look at a few of these herbs and how they affect your hair looks and grows.

1. Chamomile - This herb is great for not only its ability to help with healthy hair growth but also in its helping in reducing stress levels. You will find that in some cases stress is directly related to hair loss, so the reduction in stress should help in that area also.

2. Catnip or Burdock - These two herbs are useful for healthy hair growth; this in turn reduces the effects or risk of hair loss. You will usually find these two herbs in a solution, such as in a hair loss shampoo or conditioner, which you apply, as you would normally use one of these products.

3. Saw Palmetto - You will find a lot written about this particular herb. Using this herb will help with the reduction of DHT, A normal hormone found in both men and women. If too much of this hormone is produced, it will affect the hair follicles making it easier for your hair to fall out.

4. Green Tea - In studies of women in Japan, researchers have found that by drinking the herb it could help to increase their levels of the sex hormone binding globulin. This then helps to prevent their bodies from producing too much of the male hormone testosterone, often found to be a cause for hair loss in women.

These are by no means the only herbs for hair loss you will find. There are many other herbs available that have been shown to help, in some form or another, with this condition. A few of these are Apple Cider vinegar, Sage Tea, and Psoralea Seeds, all of these herbs would be applied directly to your affected area. Some others are Ginger and Liquorice Extract.
