Herbs have been around probably since the beginning of time. They have many uses and when it comes to regrowing lost hair, they provide some of the best support for those losing hair. Men in particular can benefit from the power of various herbs when they are experiencing thinning of their hair.
Herbs such as saw palmetto, pumpkin seed, nettle root, pygeum and a few others can stop the production of a harmful hormone called dihydrotestosterone, or DHT shortened. DHT will kill as many healthy hair follicle cells as possible in men, so it pays to know how to prevent this fast.
The good news about herbs is that they rarely lead to side effects. The consumption of the mentioned herbs above are definitely worth considering if you're battling male pattern baldness or general thinning of your hair.
A study was performed to test the ability of certain herbs when it comes to fighting baldness. Interestingly pygeum and nettle root were nearly equivalent to the power of the prescription drug finasteride in treating male baldness. The only exception was that users of these two herbs in combination never experienced things like headaches, sexual health problems or any other type of side effect as compared to those who use finasteride.
There are a few herbal remedies that have been used to form various treatments by people in other countries for fighting alopecia. For example dried pieces of a herb called amla or Indian gooseberry, can be boiled with coconut oil to make a unique hair loss fighting concoction.
