Can natural supplements improve my hair's condtion?

 One common cause of hair loss in women is low thyroid function. While blood tests can sometimes be useful for diagnosing low thyroid function, they are by no means foolproof.

Many individuals with signs and symptoms of low thyroid function come to have normal levels of thyroid hormones on testing. However, they often go on to respond well to thyroid treatment.

In short, I believe that the standard blood tests for thyroid function miss a significant number of individuals with low thyroid function.

If you have other symptoms of low thyroid function, such as cold hands and feet, sensitivity to cold, dry skin, dry hair, unexplained weight gain and fatigue, then it would probably help you to pursue this area.

Individuals with low thyroid function very often have low body temperature, and assessing this can help determine what the true state of your thyroid function is.

To test this, use a mercury thermometer to take your underarm temperature first thing in the morning before rising. Make sure you keep the thermometer in place for a good ten minutes. Calculate the average temperature by adding up all your readings over ten days and then dividing the answer by ten. If the resulting temperature falls below 36.4 C, then it is likely that your thyroid is running low.

If you come to the conclusion that your thyroid function is indeed at fault, it might help you to take nutrients such as iodine, selenium and vitamin A which might 'feed' the thyroid and strengthen its function.

Thyronal contains these and other thyroid-supporting nutrients and can be obtained by mail order on 0121 433 8729. More details about the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid disease can be found in my book Ultimate Health - 12 Keys to Abundant Health and Happiness.

Another common cause of hair loss in women is iron deficiency. This is especially common in women who tend to have heavy periods. The best test for iron levels in the body is a blood test called ferritin.

It would be useful if you could persuade your doctor to run such a test. If this test comes out as low, then it is quite likely that iron supplementation may restore the condition of your hair.
