4 Secrets to reverse hair loss naturally...
Insider Secrets | 14 May, 2010 | Hot Topics:
Hair thinning and hair loss from normal ageing, can be embarrassing. Thankfully, there are natural remedies to help prevent and reverse hair loss... So you don't have to resort to side-efect laden treatments.
Here are four natural ways to help reverse hair loss...
1. Nettle helps stimulate hair growth. So instead of using shampoo, boil a handful of loose nettles. Then strain the tea and use the cooled nettle water to wash your hair.
2. Iron is essential for strong hair. The best sources of iron are lentils and red meat. But zinc, vitamin C and B vitamins are also important. Supplement your diet with these vitamins. Also eat
plenty of fruit, vegetables, pulses, nuts and seeds.
3. To allow new hair growth to come through, keep your pores and hair follicles free of dead skin cells. Jojoba oil is a great cleanser. And it's a double winner because it's packed with Vitamin C, B Vitamins, Zinc and other great nutrients for hair. Try massaging a few drops of it into your scalp before bed.
4. Get yourself a metal comb or brush and gently tap all over your head with it for about a minute. The metal will create tiny electromagnetic currents on the scalp that stimulate the hair follicles.
The shocking truth about most shampoos...
How natural is your shampoo? Does it contain herbal extracts or flower essences?
Actually, there's nothing natural about these shampoos.
In fact, synthetic shampoos in general are laden with harmful chemicals. And some of these chemicals are associated with serious health problems.
Have a look at the ingredients on your shampoo bottle today. Does it contain these health hazards?
* Sodium lauryl sulphate, or sodium laureth sulphate (SLS). These are industrial degreasers and can cause flaky skin and hair loss.
* Diethanolamine (DEA) or Isopropyl alcohol. Both these have been associated with cancer.
* Propylene Glycol (PG). This can cause rashes, dry skin and dermatitis.
* Anything ending in 'parabens'. They're toxic and could also cause rashes and allergic reactions.
Look for natural and organic shampoos instead. You'll find some suppliers online, as well as at organic markets. You can also enquire at your health shop.
In the name of health,
