 “I
shed plenty of hairs, Doctor. I am afraid that I would bald
earlier. I am just twenty-three!”
“I lose my hair while combing and taking
head bath!”
“My hair falls with root! Will it grow again?”
Hair loss is a very common complaint now a days.
Hair loss in the early, scare every body that he or she would
bald early. Few stray hairs on the bed, while combing, in
bathroom causes alarm.
Hair loss is a natural part of the body process
of renewal. As some hair falls out, new growth replaces it.
Normally, we shed 15-20 hairs per day. Hair in normal and
healthy conditions does not fall out at an alarming rate.
The excess fall out occurs mostly when the hair follicle is
not healthy and it may be accelerated by a number of conditions.
Reasons for hair loss
First assess water, if you are taking bath
with salt water and using shampoo, colouring, perming, lotions
and dyes, those may disagree and shake the hair root causing
temporary shedding. Even the hair oils may disagree to your
scalp. The chemicals, which are the content of these cosmetics,
may raise sensitivity to the scalp.
Secondly assess your nutrition part, dry, dull,
lifeless hair and hair loss signals poor nutrition. Proteins,
Fats, Vitamins and Minerals are essential for better hair
growth. Women who have heavy menstrual periods may develop
iron deficiency. During childbirth excessive blood loss would
lead to large amounts of hair fall while combing. Four weeks
to three months after a high fever, severe illness or major
surgery a person may be shocked to see a lot of hair falling
out. Sometimes baldness has also results following a prolonged
illness.
Next look for infections, your scalp may prone
to infections such as Bacterial, Viral or Fungal infections,
which can cause hair fall and even bald out spots. Dandruff
is a very common nuisance to many, which causes voluptuous
itching of the scalp that predisposes Hair loss. Excessive
sebum often accompanying thinning of hair is attributed to
the enlargement of the sebaceous gland, which causes pore
clogging, thus leading to malnutrition to the Hair roots.
Lice and its excretions will irritate the hair follicle. A
tiny eruption on the scalp is very common among children and
teenagers. Sometimes the fungal infections would cause “Spotty
Baldness”.
Then check whether you are taking medicines
for any complaints. Even though an acute illness like fever
or any suffering enhances Hair loss, some medicines also cause
hair loss. This type of hair loss improves when you stop taking
the medicine. Medicines that can cause hair loss include certain
Antibiotics, Antidepressants, Birth control pills, and the
medicines used to treat Gout and Cancer.
If the things are Ok! You have to evaluate
for any hormonal imbalance. If you are male, assess your genetic
make up. Your father or mother may inherit baldness. Check
your paternal and maternal ancestors. If you are a female
hormonal imbalance is very common. If menstruate regularly
and frame, weight is according to your age, no problem! If
not, assess your hormones, because Poly Cystic Ovarian Disease
and Thyroid disorders are common culprit for Hair loss.
Finally Stress! Stress is another factor linked
to Hair loss. If you are unable to cope up with pressures
of life, all the time worrying about the problems at work
place or home, having most of the emotional conflicts unsolved,
you are the easy victims for excess hair loss. The muscles
of the scalp constrict with mental tension, thereby the blood
circulation gets impeded resulting in suffocation of the hair
follicles.
How to arrest?
Try to eliminate the causative factors and help
with dietary regulations. Take hair care. If it is not amenable
to these measures, it is better to seek a professional help.
If the hair root is healthy it will certainly grow again.
Homoeopathic medicines are very effective in
revitalizing the hair follicle. Even though there are many
Hair oils available in the market, they are merely conservative.
The contents like Arnica Montana, Jaborandi may boost the
hair follicle to some extent. Cantharis acts better in eliminating
the extender causes Pediculosis.
Normally a well-selected remedy will stop falling
of hair in a very short period. It is wonderful in regulating
basic irregularities for hair loss. Dandruff can be remedied
well.
Hormonal imbalance can be regulated naturally, a best solution
for Poly Cystic Ovarian Disease and Thyroid disorders.
