Searching For A Hair Loss Remedy: The 40% Solution

While the forty percent of all men who are likely to experience
some hair loss in their lives constitute an enormous potential
market for an effective hair loss remedy, and research to supply
them with one is ongoing, only minoxidil has proven somewhat
effective in cases of male pattern baldness. Another drug,
originally created as a treatment for prostate problems, and now
marketed as the pill Propecia, also shows some promise as a hair
loss remedy.

But there has yet to be discovered a substance which will function as a universal hair loss remedy. No product currently used as a hair loss remedy can be effective in all instances of hair loss, because there are many underlying causes of baldness. Those people who educate themselves both about the way in which healthy hair grows, and the reasons it stops growing, will be much less likely to be hooked by the exaggerated claims of effectiveness which often accompany the latest hair loss remedy.

Research has indicated that the hormone dihydrotestosterone, or
DHT, may be one of the major factors in male pattern baldness.
Enzymes which can inhibit the body's production of DHT from
testosterone are credited with preventing hair loss; minoxidil
and finasteride, the active ingredients in Rogaine and Propecia,
have each been given FDA approval for use as a hair loss remedy.

Even though a hair loss panacea has yet to be discovered, those
suffering from hair loss will benefit from determining why they
are experiencing it so they can either search for an appropriate
hair loss remedy, or choose not to use one at all.

Some of the conditions leading to hair loss are curable; if its
underlying cause is eliminated, the hair loss will take care of
itself. Both lupus and diabetes, for instance, may contribute to
hair loss in their sufferers, and only by talking with your
physician will you know if either of them is a contributing
factor in yours.

Stress, both physical and emotional, has been linked to hair
loss, which was reversed as soon as the stress-inducing
situations were eliminated. In cases of stress, time may be the
only hair loss remedy necessary.

Hormone imbalances may lead to hair loss, and if the hormonal
balance is restored, hair growth may be as well. If someone is
not genetically pre-disposed to hair loss and begins
experiencing it, however, he or she should not use any kind of
hair loss remedy without first seeing a doctor to determine if
there is an organic reason for the condition.

The herb Gotu Kola has been used by Chinese herbalists for
centuries s one of the most effective natural hair loss
treatments; it has been researched and found to restore the hair
and thicken the skin of rats suffering from alopecia. Gotu Kola
may have the added benefit of thickening skin in humans as well
as restoring hair loss, as thinning of the skin is another
common sign of aging.

Another one of the natural hair loss treatments which is
claimed to thicken the skin, and relieve some of the pressure on
the very tiny blood vessels which transport nutrients to the
hair follicles is emu oil.
