A 2002 study demonstrated that a natural hair loss remedy containing saw palmetto extract was effective in almost two-thirds of male volunteers.  Other studies have shown similar benefits.  Plus, the botanical extract supports prostate health and could prevent the enlargement of the prostate that is commonly found during the aging process.

Female alopecia, the medical term for female hair loss, needs to be looked at differently.  In most men, the problem is the changing of the hormone testosterone into a different androgen called Dihydrotestosterone, or DHT.  DHT shrinks the follicles, and thus causes them to become dormant and will eventually destroy their function.

Saw palmetto binds with the enzyme (5-alpha-reductase) that changes testosterone to DHT, putting a halt to the conversion process.  Some drug treatments prevent DHT from combining with the follicles, but they give rise to side effects that are totally undesired.  The prescription drug ‘Propecia’ blocks 5-alpha-reductase, but can also cause undesired side effects, too.  You might say that saw palmetto is ‘gentler’.

While some cases of female alopecia are believed to be caused by sensitivity to DHT, the drugs and botanicals that work for men don’t work for them.  A woman needs a natural hair loss remedy of her own.  So far, horsetail silica seems to be the winner.

The botanical has been used to combat female alopecia for hundreds of years.  Only in recent years have scientists learned that horsetail silica contains proteins, amino acids and pro-amino acids, all of which are necessary for the human body to grow hairs.  That’s the likely reason that the botanical works.  Few clinical trials have been conducted using horsetail silica, but in those that have been conducted, positive results were seen.

Many health experts feel that female alopecia is a symptom of an underlying nutritional deficiency.  Not receiving enough protein is one of the prime suspects.

Magnesium is another natural hair loss remedy for women.  Magnesium is an essential mineral and magnesium deficiencies are more common than you might think.  Even though a woman gets enough protein in her diet, she still needs magnesium so that her body may absorb it.  If magnesium is missing, the protein simply goes to waste.

If you suffer from nails that are weak or slow to grow, if cuts and scrapes on your skin are slow to heal, try including more protein-rich foods in your daily intake – and be sure to get sufficient magnesium.  If you would like to see results, in a shorter time, combine that natural hair loss remedy with the use of a topically applied solution containing Minoxidil.

Minoxidil is approved by the US FDA and other governmental agencies as a treatment for alopecia.  It can take a while to become effective, but when it is also combined with nutritional support, you will see the results that you desire in a reasonable amount of time.

You should be very wary of any solution that promises immediate results.  There are no miracle cures.  It takes time for the dormant follicles to start producing new hairs.  It takes a month for healthy hairs to grow just a half inch.  So, even an effective natural hair loss remedy will take time to work.  You just need to have a little patience.
