Are you suffering from hair loss, but do not want to turn to chemicals and drugs to treat the problem? Are you looking for a natural way to stop and prevent hair loss while promoting new hair growth? Well, the good news is that it is entirely possible to give yourself a full, thick, healthy head of hair using natural herbs.
Here are eight herbs that stimulate hair growth, detoxify the scalp, increase circulation to the scalp, and reverse hair loss.
1. Fenugreek
This potent herb increases blood circulation to the scalp, thereby increasing the nutrients delivered to hair roots. It is a great way to pamper hair while minimizing hair loss. Hair growth, better hair health, a more vibrant sheen, and a healthy scalp are all made possible with fenugreek.
2. Bhringraj
This powerful Ayurvedic herb is considered one of the most effective natural remedies for hair loss and prematurely greying hair. Bhringraj creates healthy hair, a healthy scalp, and has successfully been used to stop hair loss – and promote new hair growth – for many centuries.
3. Neem
This natural hair growth treatment is not only a great way to stop and reverse hair loss, but is also excellent for remedying dandruff, and acts as an effective detangler. Healthy strong hair is vital to new hair growth and less hair breakage.
4. Citrus Fruits, Particularly Lemon
Rich in vitamin-c, citrus has the ability to prevent oxidative damage, combat scalp infections, and promote healthy hair and a healthy scalp. A healthy scalp means hair growth, and citrus oils certainly improve the health of your scalp. One word of caution, using lemon over an extended period of time will lighten hair.
5. Henna
Looking for a natural way to strengthen and condition hair while fighting hair loss? Look no further than henna. Using henna is a magnificent way to repair and seal hair cuticles, protect hair from damage, and give hair a healthy shine. One caveat, make sure to choose either a neutral (uncolored) henna, or a henna that imparts the color that you desire for your hair.
6. Rosemary
Rosemary is a powerful herb that is amazing for hair health and hair growth. According to Supreme Health, rosemary combats hair loss, stimulates new hair growth, supports follicles, strengthens hair roots, and detoxifies the scalp. Rosemary also banishes dandruff, and restores pigmentation, all while conditioning hair. Rosemary is also quite a mood booster, its scent is uplifting, and leaves your post-shower self feeling invigorated.
7. Indian Gooseberry
Indian gooseberry is another natural Ayurvedic remedy that promotes new hair growth, prevents hair loss, promotes hair pigmentation (keeps you from prematurely going grey), strengthens hair roots, and increases shine. It is all around excellent for your hair.
8. Aloe Vera
Often used for minor burns and injuries, aloe vera is a natural healing plant that should be in every home, garden, or holistic first aid kit. However, this healing plant does more than treat minor mishaps, it is also a very powerful, natural weapon against hair loss. Aloe vera’s anti-inflammatory properties prevent hair loss, and promote vigorous new hair growth.
Use even a few of these herbs over the next few months, and you will feel and see results. New hair growth, a healthier scalp, a stoppage of hair loss, and more vibrant hair are all in your future thanks to nature.
