Does anyone know of any herbal medicines that stimulate hair growth?

I'm only 26 women but my hair is starting to thin and almost recede at the temples. It used to be thickerDoes anyone know of any herbal medicines that stimulate hair growth?
Well hair loss can occur with women just as it does for men even when all are healthy according to both allopathic %26amp; naturopathic guidelines; so there is not always a specific health problem as such that is the cause of hair loss other than pure genetics that allow it to happen in the first place (which is evolution, hard written code that cannot be changed - Simply something we have to live with such as skin colour and height etc).





More often than not when a woman is starting to lose hair (especially at an early age) it's vitally important to look at her liver as that is most likely to be needing attention.





Second to that Stress is something else; if you consider that you have a stress level that is more than you'd consider to be the every day average... try doing something each day that takes your mind off things... whether it's exercise, something you truly love or just spending time chilling out etc... believe it or not but this greatly decreases stress levels.





Stress is a major player in the disfunction of the body.





A diet high in sugar, saturated fats, salt, dairy, alcohol, caffeine, drugs (both prescription %26amp; over the counter), artificial colours, flavours %26amp; preservatives are definitely things that will pollute the liver thus greatly reduce it's function.





Garlic is great for it's sulphur content, Ginger greatly increases circulation to the surface of your skin (aka scalp); Feel free to include these into meals liberally each day.





A liver cleanse you can have daily is equal parts Carrot, Celery %26amp; Beetroot juiced.Does anyone know of any herbal medicines that stimulate hair growth?
Hi,





If you are in this circumstance right now, you may be stuck to some questions as to why this is happening to you or you are not yet expecting it to happen just yet. Well, you are not alone. This is because the patterns are not really recognizable unlike that with men.





Women should not really be scared when they notice their hair thinning because it may be because of some illness or pregnancy that they experience this. If you judge the pattern like with men, you should remember that a man’s hair begins to thin earlier than a woman. Women start hair loss at around 50, or even later.





But if you are really the kind of woman who fears that the hair loss you are experiencing is not normal, you should probably see a specialist to have an early diagnosis. It is recommended to see a specialist rather than doing a self exam because often times, self diagnosis is not accurate.





As discussed earlier, women do not shed hair like men, which have an obvious thinning of hair as they have a different hair loss pattern.There are different patterns that may consider as signs of “Androgenetic Alopecia”. If you see your hair thinning by the back and front of the scalp, it may suggest that you have Androgenetic Alopecia.





Also, when the entire scalp seems to be thinning, well it is an obvious sign of the Androgenetic Alopecia.Though it has been discussed that female pattern starts at 50, it may also be that it starts on the late teen years to the early 20s of women. That is why you have to see a specialist to diagnose the thinning.





There are also a few causes of hair loss in women that is not associated with the hair loss pattern. These include Trichotillomania, which is caused by hair pulling. Alopecia areata which may be a disorder that autoimmune.





Triangular alopecia which is only a temporary loss. Scarring Alopecia, which involves the scarring of the area of the scalp. And lastly, Telogen effluvium, which is a hormonal or drug/stress associated cause.For more information visit the link in the source





Good luck ;)
Hello, your in luck. I am a Massage Therapist who specializes in Essential Oils. To help promote hair growth use shampoo that contains lavender or Rosemary. Lavender helps to stimulate and clear clogged hair follicles. Rosemary encourages the hair growth. Shampoo that also contains ylang ylang will work over time. If you want something on a more Organic Professional grade level I suggest going to www.youngliving.com They have a superb bath and beauty line.
Silica supplements are good, however they can cause kidney and liver problems if taken in too high a potency! As long as you stick to a low dosage you should get along fine with it, it can also cause your nails to grow like crazy so be warned!
