Herbal Treatment And Dietary Guidline For Hair Loss
HERBAL TREATMENT
• Saw palmetto has been reported to cause some reversal of male pattern baldness in some cases. Choose a standardized extract containing 90 percent essential fatty acids and sterols, and take 160 milligrams twice daily.
• There are a number of herbal formulas that are intended to reduce hair loss and support hair growth. Perhaps the best known is a patent medicine called Alopecia Areata. It is a formula designed specifically for hair loss in women, and has been reported to yield impressive results. Fo-ti (Polygonum multiflorum) is a Chinese herb that many men have used in tea form to arrest hair loss and slow graying. It is available in Shou Wu Shih, an inexpensive product available in many Chinese markets that sell herbal remedies. Take any of these formulas as directed on the product label.
DIETARY GUIDELINES
• Eat a nourishing and well-balanced diet that includes plenty of good-quality lean protein, such as that found in fish, grains, and legumes. If your cholesterol level is not too high, include moderate amounts of cheese and eggs in your diet. Also eat lots of mineral-rich foods like vegetables, grains and legumes, plus some nuts and seeds and sea vegetables. This type of diet will supply ample protein and minerals and best support hair growth. Deficiencies of protein and minerals may be factors in hair loss.
• Chinese medicine teaches that the kidneys influence the scalp and hair. Avoid eating excessive amounts of meat, which stresses the kidneys. A diet based on meat seems to speed up hair loss.
• Avoid consuming excessive amounts of animal fats, animal proteins, and salt. This may help delay hair loss in men prone to male pattern baldness.
Provillus contains a variety of natural ingredients, such as biotin, minerals and Vitamins, as well as extracts of some medicinal herbs and plants which are proven effective for combating hair loss problem.
