Traditional Hair Loss Remedies
Is it possible that our ancestors could have got it right with some of their traditional hair loss remedies?
 |
Ancient literature and folklore tell us that they certainly went to great lengths to find solutions to graying and falling hair. Although each culture had its own approach, influenced by local flora and cultural considerations, there would appear to have been many areas of common practice. Nettles, for example, formed an important component of traditional hair loss remedies in many cultures throughout the world. It is not my intention to outline the more outlandish traditional hair remedies on record. Rather we will focus on those that have a stronger scientific basis. Many of the remedies outlined here have been sourced from the very informative book Hair Loss Prevention Through Natural Remedies by Peters et al. Rosemary Solution Recipe 1 - boil rosemary, sage, peach leaf, nettle and burdock in water. Strain and use to wash hair daily. Recipe 2 - steep one ounce of ground rosemary, two
ounces of ground sage and half an ounce of ground nettles in one
pint of ethyl alcohol for a week. Strain, and add one ounce of olive
oil, one ounce of castor oil and one ounce of water. Shake before
using as a hair lotion before bed. Method - Part hair into sections. Apply two tablespoons
of apple cider vinegar directky to the scalp with a moistened cotton
ball. Allow between fifteen minutes and three hours before shampooing. Method - ten drops of essential oil should be mixed
with one ounce of carrier oil such as jojoba or olive oil. Massage
into the scalp for a minimum of fifteen minutes before shampooing. Recipe - mix four ounces of cayenne pepper with one
pint of one hundred proof vodka or pure alcohol diluted with twenty
percent distilled water. Let it stand for two weeks, shaking the
mixture once each day. Strain through several layers of fine cloth
or a nylon stocking until the mixture is free of pepper. Once or
twice a day, rub a small amount onto the thinning areas of the scalp Hopefully you'll have found something of interest and may be tempted to try one of the traditional hair loss remedies outlined here. Then again, if you're in more of a hurry you'll find
many commercial products that draw heavily on the ingredients found
in traditional hair loss remedies such as those described here.
