Alopecia In Women: Natural, Economic Cure?

Alopecia In Women: Natural, Economic Cure?The most common hair loss in men and women is related DHT, DHT is a hormone, which is, quite simply, it weakens the hair follicles of the scalp (not including the body, ironically) because of their specific "receptors" found in all areas of hair thinning occurs (like the top of the head, for example). This will cause your hair to fall and makes the hair follicle weaker, over time they become inactive or totally disabled. Losing your hair This is commonly called androgens (or Andro-genetic) hair loss and is the most common method of hair loss affects most of the men and women of today. So this is the type of hair loss that this article deals.

There are many so-called "solutions" to this problem, some more effective than others, but if you are a woman of childbearing age (before menopause), your options include not effective DHT blocker like Propecia, but you will have other opportunities not available to men. One of these topical progesterone (minimum 2 percent, thanks to the prescription of a dermatologist).

But what are the options if you wish to avoid conventional drugs and prefer a natural approach?

Some would say that taking Saw Palmetto help, because it is supposed to be an alternative to Propecia. Other natural alternative "cure" for hair loss is saw palmetto as an active ingredient. In theory it should work like Propecia does, but I have not found particularly useful for me and my scalp tends to be "irritated" by it, both locally and if taken in tablet form. In summary, saw palmetto may work for some people, but it did not work for me. If you're like me, you feel frustrated, but do not despair: you have other options.

Women have a natural ability to conventional treatments, if your hair falls out, particularly women, including the scalp problem is hormonal based (which is many):

ability to regulate hormonal imbalances internally, and this is usually achieved by taking high levels of Agnus Castus (sometimes sold as "Vitex"), and if you prefer a homeopathic remedy, Folliculinum (with or without estrogen).

Agnus Castus is simply a hormonal regulator affecting the pituitary, this benefit may occur by reducing prolactin levels (hyperprolactinemia for people with a tendency to suffer from chronic hair loss) or the re-balancing of estrogen- progesterone ratio, which also affect hair loss and some skin problems (acne hormonal triggers, for example).
