Preventing Hair Loss With Chinese Herbs!

What is Natural Menopause?

Natural menopause has occurred when a woman has not had a
menstrual period for a full year. When menstruation has
permanently ended without any kind of medical intervention,
natural menopause has been reached. Menopause is a change that
is a natural and normal occurrence.

It's not clear what the cause of hair loss is, but family
history certainly plays a role - your father or your mother can
pass along the gene whether you are male or female.

When women are in menopause, the hormones estrogen and androgen
start to shift. The body begins to make fewer of these hormones,
but there is more of a drop in estrogen than there is in
androgen. This imbalance worsens your hair loss.

Women lose their hair differently than men. Their hair loss
tends to be an overall thinning. The center part starts getting
wider and the ponytail gets a little thinner.

Lifestyle Changes to Prevent Hair Loss

1. Herbal medicine - Chinese herbal medicine uses formulas that
act as blood tonics and liver cleansers to promote healthy hair
growth. Herbs such as black cohosh, Mexican yam and Agnus
castus can help hormonal balance.

2. Acupuncture - can improve circulation and digestion. Daily
use of a plum blossom hammer (a small hammer with five or seven
tiny needle points) on the scalp can promote local circulation
and stimulate hair growth.

3. Homeopathy - lycopodium can reduce hair loss after
pregnancy. Sepia can be used for hair loss linked to menopause
and also that associated with hot flushes and night sweats.
Phosphoric acid may help if grief, stress and emotion are the
main triggers.

Tips to Prevent Hair Loss

According to Garrison, teasing hair and spraying it so that it
sits high off the scalp actually defeats your purpose. You may
think that you're making your hair appear thicker, but you're
actually creating a "teased-out bubble" that you can see
through - all the way to the scalp. Some volume is good - just
make sure it still looks natural.
