upon the previous article which looked at a number of herbal hair
loss remedies for internal use.
Herbal hair loss remedies for external use
In a separate article in this series we looked at some of the most
popular herbal hair loss remedies for ingestion. Here we'll expand
that theme to include some potentially useful herbal remedies for
external use.
Aloe vera - some Indian tribes of Mexico attribute their
thick, healthy hair to regular use of aloe vera gel which they rub
into the scalp and hair each night. Herbalists believe that the
herb activates the production of nitric oxide and contains an enzyme
known as superoxide dismutane. Some experts feel that these two
substances combine to stimulate hair regrowth in those suffering
from male pattern type baldness.
Onion (Allium cepa) - this has a high sulfur content
that is believed to have hair-healing properties. Some herbalists
believe that rubbing the scalp with half an onion before washing
hair encourages hair growth.
Red pepper (Capiscum) - a popular folk remedy that involves
the application of a red pepper poultice to the scalp to act as
a skin irritant. This draws blood and nutrients to the scalp and
encourages the release of histimines to stimulate cell division
and hair regrowth.
Safflower oil (Carthamus tinctorious) - Eastern health
practitioners believe that safflower oil applied to the scalp acts
as a vasolidator that dilates blood vessels. This allows more blood
to deliver nutrients to the hair follicle thus creating an environment
conducive to hair regrowth.
