Rosemary: Your Herbal Hair Loss Solution

More and more, both men and women want a natural solution to hair loss. Both men and women need to realize that hair loss is caused by a variety of factors, often in combination with each other. It's very rare that just one product or herbal hair loss solution will help get your hair growing again. You may also have to work on your overall health, such as making sure you are getting your vitamins and drinking plenty of water. But many people have found that rosemary helps them with their hair loss problems.

Still See Your Doctor

No matter if you are trying to grow your hair back after a successful chemotherapy treatment, or you have male pattern baldness, you still need to see your doctor before you commit to rosemary as an herbal hair loss solution. There may be another reason why you are going bald or have suddenly lost bunches of your hair very suddenly. Please don't use anything you read on the web (including this article) as a substitute for your doctor's diagnosis.

What Rosemary Does

When you work with rosemary as an herbal hair loss solution, you usually work with it in the form of therapeutic essential oil. Some people also like to make a tea from fresh rosemary sprigs and then let it cool and use it to rub ion their bald patches. But, unless you are growing rosemary in a greenhouse, it's far easier to use essential oil of rosemary as your herbal hair remedy.

Rosemary is like Minoxidil in that it communicates to your hair follicles, telling them through chemicals that it's time to wake up and get growing. Hairs go through many stages in their growth, including a resting phase. Hormones in your body tell your hair when to rest and not bother growing. Sometimes, these hormones don’t shut up. Rosemary can help out shout your hormones.

Advantages

Although many therapeutic grade essential oils are fabulously expensive, rosemary isn’t one of them. So, you can find this herbal hair loss solution in many already made products like shampoos and conditioners. You can also just buy the rosemary oil itself wherever aromatherapy products are sold. You can then mix one part of rosemary oil to nine parts of olive oil and massage your scalp once a day with that.

Keep in mind that no herbal hair loss solution will be a substitute for quitting smoking and eating a balanced diet. Both of these things help make sure your circulation is going right to the tiny capillaries in your scalp needed to keep your hair in place.
