Over many centuries the human population has been searching for
remedies to cure or at the very least slow down the process of hair
loss. The ancient Egyptians applied concoctions directly to the
scalp or drank and ate them in a bid to try to combat the balding
process. The Greeks thought that rubbing pigeon droppings onto their
heads would stop the hair thinning and going bald, and would stimulate
regrowth.
Over the years there has been no shortage of creative remedies
or attempts to save rapidly receding hairlines. The Indians and
Chinese believed that the use of oils and herbs would help to stimulate
hair re growth. This process may seem a little dated, but in recent
years many more people have been using oils to stimulate their scalp
in the hope that it will make their hair grow back.
The ancient Egyptians used this method and believed that rubbing
caster oil onto the scalp would help the hair to grow back. On occasion
they would add some sweet almond oil to help improve the smell.
Coconut oil and olive oil were also popular oils used by ancient
Africans and Polynesians.
In a study carried out in Scotland in 1998, it was shown that the
application of oil could help with some specific types of hair loss.
This study was that of a randomized, double-blind controlled methodology
and centered on the investigation of aromatherapy in patients who
suffered with alopecia areata. This is a condition in which the
body’s immune cells start to attack the healthy hair producing
cells.
In this particular study, 86 patients were placed into two different
groups. One group (the active group) would have had their scalps
massaged daily with four essential oils - thyme, rosemary, lavender,
and cedar wood, contained in a mixture of jojoba and grape
seed oils. The other group (the control group) had only their scalps
massaged with the mixture of jojoba and grape seed oils, on a daily
basis.
This study ran for seven months and the results were quite interesting
in that 44% of people in the active group showed improvement
compared to only 15% in the control group. It was concluded that
aromatherapy with these essential oils may be safe and were also
deemed to be effective for the type of hair loss known as alopecia
areata.
