How to stop hereditary hair loss naturally?
Having a full head of thick, lush hair is associated with youthfulness and even attractiveness. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, a person loses on an average about 50-100 strands of hair per day. But in some people, these are not restored with new growth. One of the factors responsible for hair loss can be heredity.
Hereditary hair loss is a natural condition caused by a combination of genetics and hormone levels and often leads to baldness. This condition is known as androgenic alopecia and male pattern baldness in men & female pattern baldness in women.
Hair loss in both men and women commonly begins in the 20s and 30s; one may lose 50% of the hair before it is even noticeable. Hereditary hair loss begins with thinning of the hair and often progresses to complete hair loss on parts of the scalp. Excessive hair strands on the comb or on the pillow are one of the symptoms of a hair loss problem.
In men, hair loss usually begins at the crown and temples, which proceeds in an M-shaped pattern. In the most advanced stage, only the hair at the back of the scalp and the rim of the hair alongside remain. Women with hereditary hair loss condition rarely develop bald patches. Instead, they experience a general thinning around the midline that occurs in the shape of a Christmas tree.
Conventional hair loss treatments
- Minoxidil: Minoxidil can stop or slow hair loss and may result in hair regrowth. But if the treatment stops, hair loss generally resumes. It is not useful for treating a receding hairline or baldness at the front of the scalp in men. Common side-effects of minoxidil include irritation, application site redness and respiratory infections.
Finasteride: This oral medication is used to treat male pattern baldness. Finasteride works by reducing the amount of the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the body. Common side-effects of finasteride include swelling in hands or feet, dizziness, sexual issues such as erectile dysfunction and infertility.
Prevent hair loss naturally
Hereditary hair loss is a part of the genetic blueprint. But we can start adopting a few simple lifestyle changes to keep our hair healthy and strong to slow the balding process:
- Eat more dietary protein: Hair is made of a tough protein called keratin. Incorporating food items such as cheese, eggs, fish, meat, chicken, lentils and nuts will help give strength and texture to the hair.
- Be gentle with hair: Avoid tight hairstyles, such as buns, braids or ponytails. Such hairdos tug at the hair, pulling them off the root and even damaging strands.
- Scalp Massage: It helps in stimulating blood flow to the scalp; this could help encourage new hair growth.
- Increasing iron intake: Iron is another nutrient that the body requires to grow healthy hair. Some dietary iron sources include clams, lentils, pumpkin seeds, spinach and white beans.

Homeopathy treatment for hair loss
Many people suffering from excessive hair loss keep trying new products and treatments to control hair loss and boost hair regrowth. This usually does more harm than good because of the harsh chemicals in many of these products and poor suitability. Homeopathy is a holistic field of medicine that treats hereditary hair loss with a natural approach. Homeopathy provides a suitable hair fall treatment without causing any damage to the body.
Homeopathic medications are made from plants, herbs, and mineral substances that are completely safe for the body. Homeopathic medicines are individualized and are prescribed based on the individual case history of the patient. For instance, if two people are getting treatment for hereditary hair loss, they can receive totally different treatments. This is because of their unique requirements and assessment of how their bodies are expected to respond. It considers the causes like genetics, family history, hormonal imbalance, nutritional factors, emotional stress, and other factors which may act as a trigger to hair loss.
Research published in the National Center for Biotechnology Information suggests that Thuja extract, fluoric acid, and natrum muriaticum promote new hair growth by inducing the anagen phase (growing phase) in resting hair follicles. Therefore, they are potential hair growth-promoting agents.
