“Is there a natural remedy to treat hair loss?”

Best to identify the underlying reason for your hair loss and identify the type of hair loss. Hormones, anemia, nutritional deficiencies, histamine reaction, post COVID, etc can play a major in hair loss. Treatments can vary friending on the root cause. We use varies regenerative Medicine therapies to promote hairgrowth while addressing the underlying root cause. Please text my clinic, Holistique, 1-425-451-0404 if you would like a telehealth consult.

Often times there is a root cause such as mold exposure. We test for this and many other causes at mylymedoc.com

There are several ways to address hair loss naturally. Hair loss is tough and it is important to treat the root cause, which may include nutritional deficiencies and hormonal imbalances. I highly
recommend consulting a licensed naturopathic physician for an individualized treatment plan.

Hello! Hair loss in women and men is a common problem. Remember, it’s totally normal to lose 100-200 hairs a day! If you’re losing more than that, here are some things that may help:
There are several different causes for hair loss on nutrient and systemic levels (not including medical conditions that cause hair loss). A naturopath mixed doctor or functional medicine doctor can help you determine which of these might be where the issue(s) is.
The most common nutrient causes are deficiencies in iron, vitamin D, B vitamins, zinc, vitamin E, and vitamin C. The most common systemic causes are excessive stress, hormone imbalance (ex: post-partum, making too much DHT hormone, adrenal-thyroid system fatigue, reduced scalp blood circulation, and more).
Taking a high quality, high bioavailability (i.e. you can absorb the majority of the ingredients) prenatal or multivitamin helps get most of these but sometimes extra supplements are needed, like a separate vitamin D or biotin, and others. “Supplements” can also be adding foods rich in these nutrients, or tinctures/herbs. I suggest starting with food as they contain more than just the needed items to maximize absorption. The list of these foods is extensive so it’s easier to just do a quick internet search for food rich in the above nutrients.
Topicals can help too. I’ve had good success with biotin-rich shampoos and DHT-blocking serums with my patients. Examples include Biotin B-complex Thickening Shampoo by Avalon Organics Therapy and Vegamour Gro Hair Serum. There are others out there too. Just make sure they don’t have lots of chemicals since often those alcohols and other chemicals work against your goal! The above products are free of that garbage.
Scalp massage! Decreased blood flow to the scalp can also contribute so don’t be afraid to get your fingers in there and massage your scalp for a good 5-10 minutes. If you in a pinch, put 3-4 drops of rosemary essential oil in 1 teaspoon of black Jamaican castor oil and use that to massage into your scalp a few mi Jets, let it rest 10 minutes then wash out with your biotin-rich shampoo. The Rosemary helps increase blood flow locally and the black Jamaican castor oil is said to help stimulate hair growth (though I’ve not tried this specific oil, just read about it).

If the hair loss is caused by something like a nutrient deficiency, you might be able to resolve it by taking a good multi-vitamin that contains biotin. In my clinical experience, there is usually something more going on such as a chronic infection, thyroid issues, etc. As a naturopathic doctor, my goal is to identify the cause (this usually requires that we do some testing) of the hair loss and then treat the cause. Once I do that, the body heals itself.
Best wishes for vibrant health.

Hair loss is due to several causes, you must identify the origin of your hair loss. In women, it is usually due to a hormonal deficit or maladjustment as well as poor nutrition. The hereditary factor is also very frequent, so I would recommend that you first identify the origin of your hair loss well, to treat it in the correct way.

The state of our hair, skin and nails are the first points in our body that shows problem. First of all look at your Endocrine Function with your good GP who ask the correct appropriate laboratory tests especially thyroid and adrenal gland. Then there is stress. Lavender (there are different types and never lavendine the clone one) is the quick fix to both ingest and external. More often it starts with problem in the GUT - digestion and absorption

Hair thinning/loss can be brought on by a number of factors that upset the balance between hair loss/replacement. Depressing as it may be, the follicle only has so many cycles in it, growing the fastest/the most between the teens & the 40s. Also, protein-deficient diets/lactation can lead to the thinning of hair because new hair growth stops when the protein, Keratin, that is needed for the synthesis of hair is not available or is being used for the production of milk.

Not as such, however including a methylated Vitamin B supplement has been found to help and massaging coconut oil into your scalp and leaving for 20 - 30 minutes before washing your hair.

Hair loss is more common than one would think. It is a common complaint of many women and men. Some of the factors that may contribute to hair loss are the following: iron status - anemia and low iron and ferritin (iron stored in tissues) may be a cause of hair loss; hormone imbalance can affect hair loss; adrenal fatigue and prolonged stress exposure may cause an increase in hair loss; thyroid imbalance and Hashimoto's thyroiditis, an autoimmune disorder of the thyroid, may cause hair loss; digestive and gut issues leading to reduced absorption of nutrients to nourish and feed the hair and zinc deficiency are all viable causes of hair loss. First identify the cause then treat it so you can have beautiful hair once again.
