Herbal remedies to keep people from losing their hair abound. You can buy all sorts of supplements to ingest or rub on your scalp. Many people swear by certain oils they rub in their scalp but it may be just the increased circulation to their scalp that works for them. Natural oils certainly can’t do any harm except make your hair oily so it  is worth a try.

 

Herbs such as saw palmetto seem to work for a few people too. Many people claim they have stopped losing hair with saw palmetto but the only clinically proven treatment for stopping hair loss caused by heredity is minoxidil, a medicine applied topically to the scalp twice a day. Even minoxidil takes months to work and it stops working as soon as a person stops using it.

 

While herbs and oils can have a pleasing effect on hair, they have never been proven to stop hair loss. They are supplements and can pretty much claim whatever they want to as long as they have a disclaimer somewhere on the label. Losing hair is not a problem you want to trust to unproven herbs, is it? You want something that will work, not some sure that contains secret ingredients that probably will not work and they will only delay you from stating treatment that does work.
