Remedies for thinning hair that are natural and non-invasive include topical applications of natural nutrients including amla and lime juice, as well as applications of raw eggs applied directly to the scalp. Another homeopathic remedy for hair loss is a mixture of coconut oil and lime juice, which can be added to liquid soap to create a shampoo that some believe may reduce hair loss. Some homeopathic practitioners advise using coconut milk or coconut oil as a conditioner to be used after shampooing. Ideally, these conditioners should be left on the hair for about 15 minutes.
Some daily hair loss is considered inevitable and normal for everyone. In fact, humans are believed to shred approximately 100 hairs each day. Normally, each individual hair could have a life span as long as two years, at which time, it usually breaks off or leaves the shaft to make room for newer, healthier hair. When hair loss exceeds what is normal and expected, many people may seek medical treatment, but others may prefer a homeopathic remedy for hair loss.
Many natural treatments for hair loss involve the use of amla oil or seed. Amla is a type of Indian gooseberry and has been used for centuries to treat hair and scalp disorders. It can be purchased at some groceries but is more commonly found at health food stores. There are many different homeopathic remedies for hair loss that include the use of amla. It can be combined with mustard oil, coconut oil, and lime juice and then applied directly to the scalp or mixed with shampoos.
Another homeopathic remedy for hair loss involves making a paste out of pepper seeds and oil, and massaging it into any existing bald spots. A similar paste can be made by using honey as a base ingredient, then adding a bit of olive oil and cinnamon. These pastes should be applied to a well-dried scalp, and left on for about 15 minutes, then rinsed away using warm water.
There seems to be little evidence to suggest that any homeopathic remedy for hair loss is effective for everyone. In many cases, hair loss is caused by genetics and little can be done to reverse it. Sometimes, however, hair loss is caused by underlying health conditions, such as vitamin deficiencies or side effects of some prescriptions drugs. Often, when the condition that is causing hair loss is dealt with, hair growth will sometimes resume and any resulting baldness may self correct.
