On an average we lose about 50 -100Hair every day, on the days when hair is washed,
people can lose up to 250 strands, this
is a natural process. Everyone experiences hair loss at some time or the other,
and it goes for both men & women. However certain factors may differ on the
basis of gender but it’s a certain fact that losing some of the hair is a
natural process. This natural loss of hair is body’s cycle to generate new
hair. However the problem arises when this cycle is disturbed and the rate of
hair regeneration becomes less than that of hair loss. The sole intent of
writing this article is to make the general masses understand that why we lose
hair and how homeopathy clubbed with certain health factors can help check and
correct this condition.
here
are a wide range of conditions that can bring on hair loss, with some of the
most common being extreme stress; physical trauma like surgery or intense
illness; dramatic weight loss over a short period of time; and
taking too much Vitamin A, and hair loss can occur a couple of weeks to six
months after any of these experiences. Someone can have surgery and be just
fine and then two weeks later their hair starts falling out, It can be very
scary when it starts falling out in big clumps.
Otherreasons for hair loss include pregnancy, thyroiddisorders, and anemia. Others include autoimmune diseases, polycystic ovarysyndrome (PCOS), and skin conditions such as psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis
One other way to thin hair is
self-inflicted - hairstyles like cornrows or too-tight braids can cause hair
loss called traction alopecia.
All of the things women do to
manipulate their hair -- dyes, chemical treatments, bad brushes, blow dryers,
and flat irons -- can result in damage and breakage, this includes brushing too
much and towel drying aggressively when the hair is wet.
Luckily, for most of these issues, the
hair grows back or the loss can be reversed with medical treatments. But it is
important to see well qualified homeopath if there seems to be something wrong,
because the sooner treatment is started, the better the chances are for
improving your growing season.
Hair loss is a common
problem for both men and women, and it has many different causes. Age,
genetics, illness, and medications may all play a role. No matter what's
causing your hair to thin, there are homeopathic remedies you can try to slow
hair loss, stimulate the scalp and promote new growth. Mentioned below are some
general tips which everyone should follow for preventing hair fall.
Get your daily
recommended dosage of omega-3 fatty acids. One of the major causes of hair loss
is inflammation, which is a common occurrence when your body isn't getting
enough nutrients or is stressed from an underlying condition. Omega-3 fatty
acids help to reduce inflammation and can lead to a reduction in hair loss as
well as potentially helping your hair grow back.
Get plenty of zinc. Zinc
aids in the synthesis of hair keratin, and it's common to have a deficiency. A
zinc deficiency can also lead to hypothyroidism, which is another cause of hair
loss. Make sure you're taking in plenty of zinc by eating oysters, shellfish,
poultry and other zinc-rich foods and consider taking a supplement in the
amount of 30 mg every day
Take iron supplements if
you have anemia. Anemia, which is a condition in which your blood has too few
red blood cells, is a common cause for hair loss. Taking iron supplements can
help to cure anemia, bringing life back to languishing hair follicles. This
isn't a cure-all, however; only take iron supplements if you know you're
anemic. See your homeopath to determine whether iron supplements could help you
stop losing hair.
Try biotin supplements.
Biotin is a B-vitamin that's essential for hair growth. If your biotin levels
are low, you may have brittle hair and nails. The general daily recommended
dosage of biotin is 2.5 mg, but it's important to consult with your homeopath
to make sure you take the right amount for your needs.
Take in more protein.
Hair is actually made out of protein, and when you aren't getting enough, your
hair stops growing. Women need at least 46 grams of protein per day to stay
healthy, and men need at least 56.The best way to get protein is through your
diet, by eating meat, fish, poultry, beans, paneer, nuts, and leafy green
vegetables. But if you're having trouble getting enough protein in your meals,
you might want to consider taking a protein supplement as recommended by your
homeopath.
Deal
with the underlying cause. For men, male
pattern baldness is the most common cause of hair loss, and for women, its
alopecia, which causes gradual thinning. However, if you have a less common
condition that's causing your hair loss, the best way to prevent further loss
and foster regrowth is to receive treatment for that condition. Consult with
your homeopath if you suspect you might have one of the following conditions:
·
Hormonal
fluctuations. This is a common cause of hair loss
for pregnant and menopausal women, and it's often temporary. Using birth
control can also lead to hormonal fluctuations.
·
Thyroid
issues, such as hypothyroidism.
·
Scalp
infection or skin disorder, such as ringworm or psoriasis.
·
Alopecia
areata, a disorder in which the body's immune system
attacks hair follicles.
·
Certain
medications can also cause hair loss. Drugs
used to treat cancer, depression, heart problems and high blood pressure might
list hair loss as a side effect.
