What is important to remember if you choose to try any of the herbs we suggest in this article is that they are not actually medications. Therefore, you have no real guarantee that they will work for you, even if they have worked for others. However, there is very little chance of them harming you if you do decide to try them.
All of these herbs, that we suggest, will work in a variety of different ways. Here we will look at a few of these herbs and how they affect your hair looks and grows.
1. Chamomile - The ability of this herb to help with healthy hair growth as well as being a great stress reliever, says much about its potential. This being the case, stress is often linked to hair loss, so if you reduce stress this should help you if that is something you suffer from.
2. Catnip or Burdock - Both of these herbs are ideal for promoting strong and healthy hair growth, which far reduces the risk of hair loss. In many cases, ideally these are in the forms of shampoo and conditioner, which can be applied directly to the hair.
3. Saw Palmetto - This herb has had a lot more written about it than some of the other herbs you may find. The herb helps with reducing the levels of DHT, a hormone found naturally in the body. If there is too much DHT then it will eventually weaken the hair follicles causing your hair to fall out more easily.
4. Green Tea - There was a study done in Japan that showed a benefit by drinking green tea. The tea helped by increasing the sex hormone binding globulin. The effects of this are that testosterone production is lowered; a major cause of hair loss in women is testosterone.
Along with the hair loss herbs that we have mentioned above, there are plenty of suggestions on other herbs that can help to treat this condition. Ones like apple cider vinegar, and sage tea, or psoralea seeds, which you apply directly to your scalp, or you can try ginger or liquorice extract instead.
