We
consistently try to get the word out that nature really does know best.
We humans simply try to emulate natural processes in the hope of improving on its blessings.
But the reality is that we need look no further than natures remedies (which also prevent side-effects and new malaises from
the synthetics we now use.) Look at these traditional approaches
to loss of hair and see how you can avoid those terrible side-effects
from hair-loss drugs. These are natural remedies that should help, but
even if they do not, they certainly won't do any harm.
Several
home remedies have been found useful in the prevention and treatment
of the loss of the hair. The most effective among these remedies is
a vigorous rubbing of the scalp with fingers after washing the hair
with cold water. The scalp should be rubbed vigorously till it starts
to tingle with the heat. It will activate the sebaceous glands and energise
the circulation of blood in the affected area, making the hair grow
healthier.
There are dietary choices that can help. Lettuce is useful in preventing
hair loss through deficiencies. A mixture of lettuce and spinach juice
(drunk every day) is said to help the growth of hair. The juice of alfalfa
in combination with carrot and lettuce juice taken daily also helps
the growth of hair to a remarkable extent. The combination of these
juices is rich in elements which are particularly useful for the growth
of hair.
Daily application of refined coconut oil mixed with water and lime juice
on the hair prevents loss of hair and also lengthens them. Application
of the coriander (cilantro) leaves on the head is also considered beneficial.
Amaranth, known as chaulai-ka-saag in the vernacular, is another valuable
remedy. Application of its fresh leaf-juice helps the growth of the
hair and keeps them soft.
Mustard oil, boiled with henna leaves, is useful in healthy growth of
hair. About 250 grams of mustard oil should be boiled in tinned basin.
A little quantity of henna leaves should be gradually put in this oil
till about 60 grams of these leaves are thus burnt in the oil. The oil
should then be filtered through a cloth and stored well in a bottle.
A regular massage of the head with this oil will produce abundant hair.
Certain
home remedies have also been found useful in case of patchy loss of
hair. The seeds of lime and black pepper seeds, ground to get a fine
paste, is one of the valuable remedies. This paste applied on the patches
has mildly irritant action. This increases blood circulation in the
affected area and stimulates hair growth. The paste should be applied
twice a day for a few weeks.
Another useful remedy for patchy loss of hair is the paste of licorice
made by grinding the pieces in milk with a pinch of saffron. This paste
should be applied over the bald patches in the night before going to
bed.
There
are lots of intelligent approaches to health and happiness. Look to
nature and its nutritional bounty for answers that won't harm more than
they help. 4 Organics uses nature's wisdom in its formulas
and we believe the natural approach works best.
