Do you believe in the healing power of herbs, and are you also suffering from hair loss? Herbs are a big part of the most successful hair loss treatment available. Our job today is to explain how natural herbs for hair loss can be a part of an effective hair loss treatment.

First let’s examine the reasons for hair loss, or at least the most common reason for hair loss. It is directly related to a reduction of essential nutrients in the hair follicle.

Over 90 percent of hair loss suffered by men under 50 is caused by the inherited condition male pattern baldness, known scientifically as androgenetic alopecia. This is an inherited condition and you have no control over whether or not you have the genes that will lead to male pattern baldness, or for that matter female pattern baldness which is less common.

For many years it was fully understood that male pattern baldness was an inherited condition however the actual mechanism that produced the hair thinning was never understood. It was only within the last few years that science began to find out the reasons why male pattern baldness was genetic and exactly what the mechanism was that produced the thinning of their hair to the point where, for many men, the result was partial or almost complete baldness.

The breakthrough came with the discovery of the role of DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) in the genetic condition. Once the actual mechanism that lead to the death of hair follicles was understood it is then possible to produce an effective hair loss treatment.

This is how it works. Men, of course, have the male hormone testosterone, in greater quantities during puberty. The body converts testosterone into another hormone called DHT. This is done as a result of the action of an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. Men who are genetically predisposed to male pattern baldness often exhibit higher conversion of testosterone to DHT.

DHT will gather around the base of hair follicle and strangle the follicle. This occurs because the DHT blocks the ability of the hair follicle to absorb essential hair nutrients. As the follicle is unable to absorb sufficient nutrients the hair can thin, or shrivel and die and is not replaced in sufficient quantities. Gradually over time the hair thins and a bald patch develops.

There are 2 problems here. The first problem is the role of DHT in strangling the ability of the hair follicle to absorb sufficient nutrients. The 2nd problem is the availability of the nutrients to the hair follicle even where the role of DHT can be blocked.

The first and most successful product approved by the FDA for use is a hair loss treatment was minoxidil. Minoxidil works by increasing the blood supply to the scalp and hair follicles, and thereby allowing the hair to take in more nutrients. But using minoxidil on it’s own isn’t the best way.

Using minoxidil is the first stage of this two stage strategy. The second is the use of a range of herbs to supply the essential nutrients that hair needs. The best hair loss treatment combines both these strategies in a single product.

In conjunction with minoxidil this product supplies the entire range of essential nutrients supplied the use of herbs, natural plant substances and minerals. For example one of the most important ingredients in these products is saw palmetto. This is a slow-growing palm that is found in the South of the US. Studies have shown that the fruits of the saw palmetto can suppress DHT levels by inhibiting the action of the enzyme 5 alpha reductase. Whilst saw palmetto on its own is insufficient to produce a sufficient result, when used in conjunction with the other ingredients it works very well.

The oil that is extracted from pumpkin seeds has also been shown to reduce the activity of testosterone and is included. Siberian ginseng is also included as an ingredient in these products. It has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years and helps the body cope with stress.

These herbal products together with vitamins and minerals such as vitamin B6, magnesium and zinc and a range of other natural plant ingredients are all used as nutritional supplements so that as the actions of the DHT are suppressed these ingredients can supply a wide range of nutrients essential to optimum hair follicle health.

The product which works the best as a complete solution to male pattern baldness is called Provillus. Provillus combines the use of minoxidil with the healing and nutritional power of herbs to offer a product unrivaled as a hair loss treatment.

Unfortunately to date there is no purely herbal treatment for hair loss. If one becomes available we shall advise you of that here. However at the moment Provillus offers the best solution to male pattern baldness.
