Herbs That Stimulate Hair Growth

People who are slowly going bald often don't know where to turn for help. Instead of spending money on costly medical treatments that pose risks to your overall health, turn to nature to find herbs which can stimulate hair growth.


Cayenne Pepper








Cayenne Pepper stimulates hair growth by improving blood circulation in the scalp. Even if you can't tolerate eating cayenne pepper, you can still utilize a paste consisting of the juice of boiled cayenne pepper and olive oil, rubbed into the scalp, to stimulate hair growth.


Rosemary


Rosemary works to cleanse the hair from the root to the tip. Over time, the use of hair care products, sweat and dirt can clog the pores of the scalp which impedes hair growth and causes baldness. Add a little rosemary to the foods you eat, or look for shampoos and conditioners that contain rosemary


Aloe Vera


Aloe vera nourishes and moisturizes the skin of the scalp in the same way it moisturizes your face, arms, hands and legs. Look for hair care products, such as styling gel, mousse, shampoo and conditioner that contain aloe vera, or simply use aloe straight from the plant.


Stinging Nettle


Stinging nettle is the leading ingredient in the hair growth shampoo and conditioner Nioxin. Stinging nettle works to rebuild the hair from just below the scalp. Stinging nettle is slow, but effective, for hair growth.


Jojoba


Jojoba oil is excellent for cleansing the hair of buildup from dirt, sweat and hair root and follicle damage from the sun. Jojoba can be applied topically in the form of shampoos, conditioners and styling aids.


Saw Palmetto


For both men and women, the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which contains testosterone, can inhibit hair growth. Saw palmetto has been shown in some to to inhibit the production of DHT in the scalp. Saw palmetto can be taken as a supplement or applied directly to the scalp in the form of shampoos, conditioners and styling aids.
