In recent years, growing concern about potential short- and longterm side effects of pharmaceuticals and conventional medical treatments have led to an increase in popularity of alternative medicines and herbal therapies. This trend affects all aspects of medicine, including increased interest in seeking herbal remedies for hair loss.

It’s important to remember that “natural” doesn’t always mean “harmless.” Also, there’s no way to be sure exactly how much herbal remedy is in a purchased product. Herbal products supposedly containing the same amount of medication have been found to vary considerably under testing.

Herbals aren’t like FDA-approved medicines, and few herbal remedies have been studied in a controlled fashion for hair loss. Many are advertised as miracle treatments with little evidence to support the claims that they’re either safe or effective. This doesn’t mean that they don’t work to regrow hair, just that there’s not enough scientific evidence to support that claim.

The bottom line is this: Before you decide to ingest or topically apply something to any part of your body, including your head, don’t assume that product is safe just because it’s labeled “natural.”

The following sections get into a number of alternative medicines. Our goal in sharing this information isn’t to advocate the use, or disuse, of these products but merely to present them in as scientific a manner as possible.

Additional herbal remedies for hair growth

_ Herbal tea: To treat hair loss, brew an herbal tea with a combination of nettle tea, sage, and rosemary. No time for a cup of tea? Apply the mixture directly to your scalp! (No, we’re not kidding.) No matter how you use it, herbal tea is thought to cause hair growth by improving blood flow to the scalp.
_ Procyanidin B-2: This extract from apples has been shown to promote hair growth in a laboratory study. Perhaps the old adage “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” may soon change to “An apple a day keeps the hair loss away!”
_ Procyanidolic oligomers (PCOs): Extracts from the French maritime pine bark and grape seeds belong to this family of antioxidant substances. One POC may have the effects of stimulating hair growth, but more studies are needed to confirm this.
_ Horsetail extract: This herb is a natural source of cysteine, selenium, and silica, which we discuss in the sections “Pumping up calories and proteins”.
_ Advecia: Herbal reported to be a hair loss vitamin.
_ Aloe vera: Plant extract with many uses reported in topical use. The leaf of the plant exudes a white, sticky substance that has been claimed to be a strong topical agent used for medicinal purposes.
_ Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA): Although suggested for hair growth, there are many reports that this hormone actually causes hair loss, possibly working in a way similar to steroids.
_ Evening promise oil: Capsules contain gamma-linolenic acid, which is claimed to convert into hormone-like compounds that help regulate a number of bodily functions.
_ Fava beans: Fava is an herb widely used in Polynesia to treat anxiety. Though harmless, fava beans can cause death in very small quantities in people who carry a rare genetic defect.
_ L-Arginine: Homeopathic remedy thought to increase circulation to the scalp.
_ Lingzhi: Flat polypore mushroom used to treat hair loss, obesity, and liver disease in traditional Chinese medicine.
_ Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM): White, crystalline powder that’s odorless and nearly tasteless. It’s reported to be a sulphur-rich hair tonic in its cream form, but it’s also known to be quite smelly!
_ Paste of cooked : Washing the hair with a paste of cooked Urad dal (black beans) and fenugreek (methi) 2-3 times a week, is also good.
_ A mixture of lettuce and spinach juice is good to drink to induce hair growth. The juice of alfalfa mixed with that of carrot, and lettuce juice is also good to take.
