Is there an alternative cure for hair loss?

 Hair loss in women is relatively common and usually causes quite a lot of anxiety and stress. Quite often, the problem is associated with some sort of imbalance, and dealing with the imbalance is usually the best way to enhance hair growth.

One relatively common cause of hair loss in women is low thyroid function. Other symptoms of this condition include weight gain, sensitivity to cold, cold hands and feet, dry skin and hair and constipation. If you have some of these symptoms, it might be worth you discussing the possibility of low thyroid function with your doctor.

Another quite common cause of hair loss is low levels of acid in the stomach. Acid is important for the digestion and absorption of certain minerals such as iron that has an important part to play in hair formation. Symptoms of low stomach acid secretion include bloating and/or belching very soon after meals, indigestion (especially after a meal rich in protein such as meat or fish), and a feeling of fullness after relatively little food.

If you have these symptoms then it might help you to take steps to improve your digestion. Chewing your food very thoroughly, avoiding drinking fluid with meals and avoiding large and late meals should help. In addition, it can help to take a preparation of digestive enzymes after meals. You will find these in your local health food store.

Low levels of iron in the body can cause hair loss in women. The best test for iron is a blood test known as 'ferritin'. Low iron is common in individuals with heavy periods and those that take painkillers. Low iron levels in the body can also cause fatigue. It may be worthwhile you having your ferritin level checked. If it comes up as low, then iron supplementation may well improve your hair growth.

Sometimes, hair loss in women can be associated with high levels of the hormone testosterone, just as it is in men. In this situation, hair loss may be associated with a condition known as polycystic ovarian syndrome. Other symptoms of this condition include acne and increased facial and/or body hair. If you have these symptoms then, again, it is a good idea for you to see your doctor.

Another natural approach that you might like to try is a supplement called Pil Food. Pil Food has been specifically formulated to help with thinning hair. It contains a blend of amino acids (the building blocks of protein) that may help stimulate hair growth (hair is protein after all) and also reduce its loss. Pil Food also contains other nutrients which may help hair growth including essential fatty acids and minerals. You will find this supplement in your local health food store.
