For some a bald head is a fashion statement, but for most men and women it is a nightmare we can`t wake up from. There are several causes for hair loss and there is no absolute cure for all. The following however have been found to be very useful in the fight against hair loss.
Natural Hair Loss Cures
Zinc
This mineral can help in the fight against male pattern baldness. As one of your natural hair loss cures you should eat more foods high in this mineral and supplement 20 milligrams a day in addition to the foods you`re eating.
Essential Oils
Mix 5 drops of lavender oil with 3 ounces of warm sesame oil and rub in the scalp and leave from 15 - 30 minutes and then rinse out well.
Green Tea
Green tea more then any other seems to kill the enzyme that attacks hair and kills hair follicles. Green tea has been more popular in Japan until recent years, and it used to be that only a very small percentage of Japanese men suffered male pattern baldness. This is believed to be one of the reasons. Now that Japan is embracing a more Western style diet, this condition and others are on the rise in Japan.
Massage natural hair loss cures
Thoroughly massage the scalp for 8 - 12 minutes with your fingers. This will push up any bad oil that could stunt hair growth and stimulate blood flow which will carry needed nutrients to the area.
Eat more Fish
Some of you are asking if eating fish can really help slow down or stop hair loss, but it definitely is useful for this condition. Most fats are bad for those with hair loss. These bad fats can aid in further hair loss.
The fats in fish however have the opposite effect. Before WW2 hair loss in Japan was almost unheard of. In large part it was the very healthy traditional Japanese diet that played a big role. Foods like deep sea water fish are particularly helpful for those suffering male pattern baldness.
Tofu to the rescue!
Special oils in soy products such as tofu have been found to help those with male pattern baldness. No wonder the Japanese suffered almost no symptoms of this hereditary disease. It is only after the last World War that we started changing to a more western style diet and are now suffering the consequences. But you can benefit by eating some of these traditional Japanese foods.
Genmai (unprocessed brown rice)
Brown rice can help you keep your hair. Unpolished brown rice has nutritional components that aid healthy skin and hair. It boost metabolism and aids the skin and hair naturally. This grain also has lots of fiber, (4 times that of white rice), which helps remove toxins from the body and as such can play a role in hair loss.
