Natural Hair Loss Remedies

Hair loss is a common problem. There can be many causes including, but not llimited to, stress, malnutrition, thyroid problems and testosterone irregularities.

Menopause is a common cause for hair loss in women due to the body's attempt to compensate for a lack of hormones. At the onset of menopause the body makes fewer female hormones to counter the body's existing levels of testosterone. Supplemental estrogen can help correct the imbalance and promote hair growth.

If your hair loss begins around the onset of menopause, you can maintain hormonal balance and hair thickness with herbs containing plant-based estrogens, such as dong quai or ashwaganda. Other herbs that exert mild estrogenic effects include damiana, black cohosh, sage, and saw palmetto.
