Herbal Treatments for Hair Loss

---

Though prescription drugs have proven successful for many men who suffer from male pattern baldness, there are reasons why a lot of balding men refuse to use them. To begin with, they are drugs and they do have a number of serious side effects. Most notably, they can cause sexual dysfunctions such as impotence and decreased libido.

The reason for this is simple: these medications target a male hormone known as DHT, which is believed to be responsible for hair loss in men, and over time the pills reduce it. However, when they do reduce this hormone, which is a type of testosterone, it can cause sexual problems in some users. That is one reason why many men have turned to herbal treatments for hair loss .

What is an herbal treatment? When we mention herbal anything, people have a tendency to shake their heads and think we are talking about home remedies. We are not. Specifically, we are referring to a handful of herbs that have been used for hundreds, even thousands of years by men because they believe that they may slow or even stop hair loss.

Are they kidding themselves? Well, while it is true that no single herb has been properly vetted by teams of men with clipboards, we do know that herbs like Ginkyo Biloba actually do increase the flow of blood to the brain, which may help slow hair loss. Other popular herbs like Stinging Nettle and Green Tea are thought to reduce levels of DHT naturally.

Of course, there is also the question of price. Herbs are extremely cheap and can be purchased at almost any pharmacy, supermarket or health food store. The bottom line is that you have nothing to lose if your chose an herbal treatment for hair loss. They are not only inexpensive, but they also offer a myriad of other benefits. For example, studies have shown that people who drink Green or Black Tea have lower rates of cancer. Not to mention that fact that herbs will not lower your libido or subject you to any of the other side effects of the standard prescription treatment.
