Natural Hair Loss Solution With Essential Oils
When people lose their hair it can be devastating, whatever the reason.
I've known more than one woman diagnosed with cancer who was more concerned about losing her hair from treatments than they were with the cancer.
It is amazing the value people put on hair.
And it is also amazing how many products are out there that attempt hair regrowth.
I am often asked if there is anything natural and available in the essential oil arena for hair loss.
There are many causes for hair loss.
Alopecia (the medical term for hair loss), can be related to different things such as genetics, hormones, drugs, or illness.
And there are many types of alopecia.
Alopecia areata is a type of hair loss that causes patchy baldness (this not the "male pattern baldness" hair loss).
It affects men and women and is most likely caused by an inflammatory immune response often followed by stress.
This is the type of hair loss that can respond to the use of essential oils. A 1998 study was done with 84 people who had been diagnosed with alopecia areata who used essential oil applications to their scalp:
--Cedarwood (2 drops)
--Lavender (3 drops)
--Rosemary (3 drops)
--Thyme (2 drops)
--Placed in carrier oil mix of jojoba (3 mL) and grapeseed (20 mL)
(FYI-all of these oils have been used to treat alopecia for more than a century).
Researcher Isabelle C. Hay and colleagues from the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary in Scotland ran this study and had half the group use this essential oil mixture and the other half use a plain carrier oil.
Testing was done several times in during the seven month trial period by photography and measurement.
Of those receiving active treatment, 44 percent (16 of 35 patients) significantly improved, while 15 percent (6 of 40
patients) using placebo improved.
One male patient with alopecia areata as well as severe male pattern hair loss saw improvement in both areas after using the essential oil blend.
