Two Remedies for Alopecia

Alopecia is a hair loss condition that affects little kids and adults. It seems that over the years more and more children are suffering from this condition just like adults. Baldness begins to set in by losing patches of hair. Unfortunately, no one knows where Alopecia comes from but it is said to have some common ties with auto immune diseases. People who suffer from Alopecia generally are normal healthy people and about 1/5 of people will develop Alopecia if there is a family history of it.

There are natural remedies for this condition that you might want to take advantage of. In any case you want to verify anything you do with your doctor or get advice from someone that you really trust. One option is to try essential oils. This would be a combination of thyme, rosemary, lavender and cedar wood. Sometimes jojoba and grape seed is introduced into this combo. You must massage this oil into your hair on a daily basis. I mean not just your hair, but you have to massage it into your scalp. After seven months you should see great improvements according to About.com. There are no side effects form this method and you can do this technique as long as you want too. However, make sure that you are not allergic to essential oils before you massage it into your scalp.

The next grand idea is to try onion juice. This is a development by the Journal of Dermatology. They had tested 23 people with Alopecia by putting onion juice on their scalp for two months. They had to put the juice on their bald spots twice a day. After four weeks participant's hair re-growth was found with 17 of them. After six weeks of this interesting regimen twenty of the people experienced hair re-growth! There was a separate group that was being tested with tap water, but only two people saw results after eight weeks.

Ok I know I said there were two natural remedies, but there are three that people to turn. I particularly am not into hypnosis, but that is another method that people are using to help their hair grow back. I really don't now how effective this method is, but there is a study that has been done that shows great success with it. If you would like more information on this method, you can find it on About.com.
