Dear Eve--

 

If your hair loss is indeed due to your internal reactions to stress

(have you seen a doctor about this? If not, you should.), then you

will indeed need to deal directly with your stress. There are a

number of approaches, but they all involve becoming more aware of

what is really going on in you. You may want to talk with a health

professional. Or you might want to start some kind of meditation

program under the guidance of a good teacher. You might also want to

start with some physical activities like chi kung, tai chi, or yoga.

It's also important that you get sufficient aerobic exercise. You

should probably also look at what you eat to make sure you are

getting appropriate nutrients. Fast food, junk food, and too many

high glycemic carbos can greatly contribute to stress reactions.

 

You might also want to look closely at your breathing. The way many

of us breathe (fast, upper-chest breathing) increases the liklihood

of stressful reactions in our lives. A simple self-help remedy to

help deal with stress is to learn how to lengthen your exhalation, so

that it is longer than your inhalation. One good approach is to do

pursed-lip breathing whenever you feel highly stressed. You simply

exhale through your mouth as though you were very gently blowing out

the candles on a cake (without actually blowing them out), then wait

for your inahaltion to take place when it's ready. Be sure the

inhalation takes place through your nose. You will be able to find

other good information about breathing on my website.

 

With my best wishes,
