Lack of proper nutrition is considered to be one of the most important causes of hair loss. Lack of adequate Vitamin B6 causes loss of hair and persons deficient in folic acid often become completely bald. But after the liberal intake of these vitamins growth of hair becomes normal.
Other important causes of hair fall are mental stress, anxiety, worry and tension. A severe tension in the scalp skin is developed due to stress. This in turn affects the supply of essential nutrition required for the healthy growth of hair.
General weakness causes by long illnesses such as anemia, typhoid, syphilis and influenza also give rise to this disorder. It makes the hair roots weak that ultimately lead to hair loss. Loss of hair can also be a result of unhygienic condition of the scalp. Due to accumulated dirt blocked in the pores the hair roots get weakened. Heredity factor is also responsible to some extent for causing hair fall.
Home remedies for Hair fall: Several home remedies have been found to be beneficial in the prevention and treatment of hair loss. One such remedy is the use of oil of the herb Amla. This oil is prepared by boiling dry pieces of amla in coconut oil. It is considered to be a valuable tonic for hair growth. A mixture of an equal quantity of fresh lime juice and amla juice prevents hair loss and stimulates the growth of hair when used as a shampoo.
Another remedy which is considered effective for arresting the problem of hair loss is vigorous rubbing of the scalp with fingers after washing the hair with cold water. Till the scalp starts to tingle with heat it should be rubbed vigorously. Due to this the sebaceous glands are activated and the circulation of blood gets improved in the affected area making the hair growth healthy.
Daily application of lime juice and lime water mixed with refined coconut oil on hair lengthens the hair and prevents hair loss. Application of green coriander juice on the head is also considered beneficial.
Lettuce is helpful in preventing hair loss arising out of deficiencies. A mixture of spinach juice and lettuce juice is said to help the growth of hair if it is drunk to the extent of 450ml per day. The juice of carrot in combination with alfalfa and lettuce juice taken daily also helps the growth of hair to a remarkable extent. These juices contain elements that are particularly useful for the growth of hair.
Another useful home remedy for hair loss is the application of milk of coconut all over the scalp, massaging it gently into the hair roots. It will nourish the hair roots and promote hair growth. This coconut milk is prepared by grinding the coconut shavings and squeezing it well.
Mustard oil boiled with henna leaves is also beneficial in the healthy growth of hair. About 225gms of mustard oil should be boiled in a tinned basin. A little quantity of henna leaves should be gradually put in this oil till about 50gms of these leaves are burnt in the oil. The oil should than be filtered through a cloth and preserved in a bottle. A regular massage of the head with this oil will promote healthy growth of hair.
Washing the hair with a paste of Fenugreek and cooked black gram pulse lengthens the hair and preserves their color. A fine paste made from red gram or pigeon pea can also be applied regularly on bald patches with beneficial results. Regular use of castor oil as hair oil helps the rich growth of hair.
Thus we can say that natural home remedies have been found to be very effective and beneficial in the treatment and cure of hair loss and other related problems.
