Looking for a hair loss remedy?  Not sure if you should try minoxidil?  Thinking about making an appointment with your doctor to talk about your thin, thinner and thinning hair? You can find an effective hair loss remedy, and it’s probably a good idea to start by talking to your doctor.  There’s more than one type of hair loss, and different types have different treatments.  You may need blood tests or even a scalp biopsy to determine which type of hair loss you’re experiencing.

Not every hair loss remedy is effective.  People have been trying to come up with a cure for baldness for centuries, and have found some pretty innovative treatments.  None of these treatments have FDA approval, and none have been tested in large-scale studies. In other words, they may or may not work. Every do-it-yourself hair loss remedy is either taken by mouth or rubbed onto the scalp.

Drink a glass of any of these remedies each day: 

• Coriander Leaf (cilantro) juice
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar in water
• Smoothie of banana, honey, yogurt and skim milk
• Juice mixture of any of the following: alfalfa, lettuce, fresh spinach, cilantro

Over the centuries, people have massaged these concoctions into their heads to treat baldness:

• Mix 1 cup mustard oil with 4 tablespoons of henna leaves
• Use amla oil, either alone or mixed with coconut milk and/or lime juice
• Mix equal parts of alcohol, borox and quinine.  (Don’t try this one at home—it could give you a pretty good rash)
• Rub cow dung onto the bald spot  (not in my house…)
• Mix a chopped onion and 20 birch leaves in a bottle of alcohol.  (It doesn’t say what kind of alcohol…)
• Grind a bit of licorice and mix with little saffron in skim milk (Do you know how much saffron costs?  And you want to rub it on your head?)
• Use coconut milk
• Or aloe vera juice
• Mix honey and egg yolk and apply to the scalp
• Rub the bald spot with an onion until it’s red, then rub honey into it
• Mix castor oil and almond oil, warm it and rub into scalp
• Grind black peppercorn with either lemon or lime seeds and rub the paste on thinning spots.
• Put raw mango pulp in a jar of oil and leave it to age for a year, then rub it on your head
• Make a paste of hot olive oil, honey and cinnamon

The bottom line is, don’t take your hair loss too seriously.  Stress can make it worse.  Relax.  Hair loss is a natural process, and nobody ever died from it.  With that said, it can be distressing to watch your hair fall out.  Treatment is available, and there is a hair loss remedy that will help you.  Check with your doctor to see which is best for you.
