Guest guest Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Anyone have any suggestions for how I can make my hair thicker? I used to have thick hair but I'm now in my 40's and have health problems such as Type II diabetes. It seems that between the two, it's ruining my hair. It's now baby fine and looks scanty. I've been told I should take more calcium and silica. Does that sound right? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Choose the right car based on your needs. Check out Autos new Car Finder tool.

Have your thyroid tested if you haven't lately. Also, I have read that rubbing oil of oregano in the scalp will stimulate the hair to grow again. I am dealing with thinning hair also. You are welcome to contact me for some other ideas. I am not sure that suggesting specific products are ok on this forum so you are welcome to contact me by email. Blessings!

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Hi Anna, You may want to have your hormone levels checked. As a hairdresser, I see this in many women in this age group. Although hormone replacement therapy is controversial, there are some homoeopathic remedies that are supposed to help balance them. If that doesn't help, I would look for a naturopathic doctor, who could put you on natural hormones, and keep checking your levels. Hope that is some help, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Hi, It's also possible that you have compromised thyroid function which is very common in midlife women. Lots you can do to help. Here are a few ideas... Nutritional Supplements: The B vitamins increase growth and prevent loss caused by stress. Biotin and Pantothenic Acid (both B vitamins) are especially important for healthy hair. L- Cysteine prevents hair loss and improves growth and texture. Zinc stimulates hair growth as does Copper. MSM aids protein building blocks and strengthens hair. Silica makes the hair stronger and promotes growth. Herbal Medicine: He Shou Wu or Fo-Ti is well known for its ability to improve hair growth, stop thinning, and even reverse graying. Ginkgo Biloba stimulates circulation to the scalp. Horsetail is an excellent herbal source of silica for strong, shiny hair. Homeopathic Remedies: Fluoric acid is helpful for brittle hair that falls out in small tufts. Kali carbonicum is for dry, thinning hair. Kali Sulphuricum will help with yellow, flaking dandruff, which may be moist or sticky. Hair may fall out, leaving bald spots. Natrum mur is used when hair loss is accompanied by dandruff and white crusts on the scalp. Phosphorus is indicated when hair falls out in handfuls. Aromatherapy: Rosemary, Bay, Cedarwood, Grapefruit, Lavender, Lemon and Chamomile are all helpful for hair loss. Drink more water! A wholesome diet, rich in silica, calcium and iron, will help reduce and/or prevent hair loss. Green, leafy vegetables, especially sea vegetables, are good mineral sources. Raw oats provide silica. Dried fruits and cherry juice are rich sources of iron. A tea of marshmallow and burdock is good for dry hair. To make the tea, add 1 tsp of marshmallow and 1 tsp of burdock to a cup of hot water.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Balance, Balance and Balance the body again. Type II diabetes is very commonly caused by imbalance in the body and adrenal/endocrine exhaustion, brought on by diet, stress and health issues. Hair loss is common for those who are dealing with adrenal/endocrine stress and hormone imbalance. When you get the body balanced, elimination systems open and flowing, diet corrected with more fresh and raw vegetables, eliminating processed sugars and artificial sweetners, using good fats such as sesame oil, coconut oil and olive oil, drink more water,adding mediation and exercize everyday, you will see a gross improvment in your health and wellbeing. This is what I do everyday with clients. helping them regain health and wellbeing.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 I have been using an herbal supplement for Hair Skin and Nails. It seems to be helping my hair grow back. I am on Lithium, as well as other medications, and of course stress....which has made my hair thinner and limp. I use either/or Whole Foods Vegetarian formula or The Vitaman Shoppe formula. The Whole Foods brand seems to work better. Also, decrease your caffiene intake, and stress levels. Hope this helps. , Anna Juarez <spartan_warrior_woman wrote: > > Anyone have any suggestions for how I can make my hair thicker?

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Hi Suresh, I mentioned a lot of different products here, so I'm not sure what it is you're requesting. I have my fave brands, and I'm sure you do too! There are many brands of essential oils. Just be sure that what you choose is pure, theraputic grade (not synthetic). Also, don't use Rosemary oil if you have high blood pressure. Michelle please mention tablet name and hair growth oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
