Hair Loss
Hair is a growth consisting of
dead skin cells that are filled with a protein called keratin.
(which is the main ingredient in your fingernails.) Each hair
is encased and nourished by a follicle buried under the skin.
Loss or absence of hair, also
known as alopecia is a hereditary and unavoidable condition.
In some men it can be a side effect of medication, a dietary
deficiency or hormonal imbalance. |

You can help reduce the effects
of hair loss from stress, trauma, shock or illness by increasing
your intake of vitamin C found in fresh fruits and vegetables,
particularly citrus fruit and juices, parsley, broccoli, green
peppers and black currants.
Take a vitamin B complex everyday
or brewers yeast. Increase your intake of protein found in meat,
fish, liver, wheat germ, dried cooked beans and peas, tofu, cheese,
milk and eggs.
The Chinese believe that hair
is nourished by the blood, and therefore influenced by the kidney
& liver. Treatment is aimed at these organs using fleeceflower
root, wolfberry fruit or mulberry fruit. Here are some great
shampoos you may want to make:
HERBAL SHAMPOO - great for dandruff
4 tablespoons dried thyme boiled
for 10 minutes in 2 cups of water. Strain and let cool before
massaging onto clean damp hair. Leave on for 1 hour then rinse
in warm water.
Second recipe:
2 egg yolks beaten in a half
cup of water, massage onto hair and scalp for 5 minutes. Rinse
well with water and then rinse with a mixture of 2 tablespoons
of apple cider vinegar and water. |
