If you are looking for a natural way to treat your problems with hair loss, you should consider looking to the herbs that particularly target the physical conditions related to hair loss. Hair loss herbs nourish the parts of the body that nurture and promote healthy hair growth. Hair loss herbs especially target the health of the hair follicle and the condition of the scalp so that the hair follicle has fertile ground, so to speak, in which to grow. In addition, hair loss herbs work to inhibit the body's over production of DHT. Hair loss herbs can also block the negative effects of already existing DHT.

Hair loss is often the result of a condition known as alopecia. Alopecia is a disease that affects the scalp and causes hair to fall out usually rather quickly. It also tends to affect one side of the head more than the other.

In order to combat the further development of alopecia, researchers have identified specific herbs that meet this purpose. Alopecia herbs are those herbs that both prevent hair loss and promote healthy new growth. Alopecia herbs are those that specifically act as agents to stop hair loss by countering the effects of DHT. It is also believed that alopecia is caused by a deficiency in the immune system, so herbs that stimulate the immune system are also good alopecia herbs.

Below is a list of hair loss herbs in general and alopecia herbs in particular. Those in italics are especially good in the treatment of alopecia.

Kanta Kavika juice

Horsetail

Jojoba oil

Essential oil of Rosemary

Oil from Sagvan seeds

Aloe

Coconut milk

Bhongra juice

Shana seeds

Caster oil

Coconut oil

Sesame oil

Saw Palmetto

Dong Quai

Nettle Root

Echinacea

Goldenseal

Astragalus

Saw Palmettos, Dong Quai, and Nettle root are particularly good alopecia herbs because of their effects on DHT. Another area that alopecia herbs want to target is the health of the immune system. It is believed that alopecia is the result of an immune deficiency, so if you take herbs that will help boost the immune system, you may be able to slow or even stop the effects of alopecia. Alopecia herbs that support the immune system include Echinacea, Goldenseal, and Astragalus.

Keep in mind that although there is not yet any known cure for alopecia, these hair loss herbs have been shown in studies to be very effective in targeting the physical conditions that cause hair loss. Research continues to seek a cure for hair loss which will no doubt include some of these hair loss herbs.
