Pressbox (Press Release) - Women first tend to notice hair loss when they are styling their hair and they tend to make amends by styling their hair differently. However, the situation becomes grave when the hair loss continues and knowledge about women hair loss treatment becomes essential. First it is essential to know about the exact causes of hair loss in women. There are actually quite a few causes with genetics topping the charts. Women also tend to loss hair after pregnancy as the overall configuration of female hormones change. Hormonal fluctuations associated with menopause can also result in hair loss.

One of the best ways to treat hair loss in women is herbs. The herbal remedies are natural and absolutely safe and they offer the best results. Herbal remedies of female hair loss can be classified under the categories of internal use and the external use. Let us first start with the herbs for internal use. The first such herb is Ginko Biloba. This herb improves the blood circulation to the skin and brain. Increased blood flow to the brain provides more nutrients to the hair follicles and stimulates the growth of hair. Another great herb is something that is found in almost all kitchen cabinets, green tea. Its natural chemical catechins inhibit the enzyme 15 alpha reductase and transforms testosterone into DHT that is hair friendly. He Shou Wu is a very effective herb for treating hair loss in women. It counters the destructive imbalances in kidney, blood and liver. Along with improving the overall health it improves the health of hair. It can also be effectively used against pre mature graying. Pygeum is an herb that has been successfully used to treat hair loss for a very long time and it works in a way pretty similar to green tea.

Now, read about the herbs that are externally used. Aloe vera is commonly used to treat female balding patterns. Aloe vera contains an enzyme called the supercxide dismunate and also activates the production of nitric oxide. Both these substances work in tandem and help in re-growth of hair. Onion also contains high amount of sulfur that is believed to have minerals contributing towards hair healing. Rubbing onion on the scalp prior to washing your hair can stimulate the growth of hair and also improve the quality of hair. Surprisingly red pepper can actually help to control loss of hair. When it is applied on the scalp it acts as an irritant. This draws the blood and the nutrients towards the scalp and stimulates the release of histamines. This encourages cell division and therefore hair growth. Sunflower oil can also be used to restrict fall of hair. It works as a vasodilator and dilates the blood vessels. This allows blood to provide nutrients to the hair follicle.
