Dihydrotestosterone or DHT is a hormone that is linked to the loss of hair follicles on the scalp.
Here are some herbs that help to lower and stop hair loss attributed to DHT:
- Saw Palmetto: Blocks DHT and has no side effects.
- Nettle Root: Using nettle root along with saw palmetto ensures a great reduction in hair loss. It also contains vitamins such as Vitamin A and C which helps to promote healthy hair. It increases blood flow to the scalp when massaged into the scalp, which results in an increased rate of hair growth.
- Green Tea & Black Tea: Not only do these teas block DHT, they contain caffiene which helps to speed up hair growth. It contains hair nourishing properties.
- Emu Oil: Blocks DHT. Also massaging the scalp with it, helps to stimulate hair growth.
(These supplements (except Emu Oil) can be found in pill form and in many beauty products!)
